So the injury hurts in that it doesn't give the Avs another option, but both goalies were pretty close this season.
Maybe his stats are over inflated as they played a pretty weak Arizona team but Grubauer had a 0.937 save percentage since the NHL resumed and he looked really solid and comfortable in net. I was certain that he was going to be tough to beat and and would likely take Colorado to the Western final if not all the way to the cup final.
