Goaltending might be the biggest x-factor in this series when you look at the lineups on paper.

Colorado has yet to face an actual elite goaltender in this playoffs.

I think Colorado might have the higher end skaters with Makar and Mackinnon but over the last three playoffs now (65 GP!) Vasilevskiy is rocking a .930 save percentage and has 28.7 GSAA.

Only 22 goalies have played more than 600 minutes in the playoffs the last three years:

1) Vasilevskiy - .930 - 4130 TOI

19) Kuemper - .907 - 1045 TOI
22) Francouz - .899 - 630 TOI

Colorado generally has been able to outscore what is average goaltending, going to be tough to do that against this team.
