But if we relax your self imposed parameters a touch, there is John Gibson.
In the second round of the 2014 playoffs with his team trailing the series 2-1 Gibson (20), who had only played in 3 NHL games to that point, started on the road in LA (eventual Cup champions) and recorded a 28 save shutout.
The guy who won the Cup with the Penguins last year is younger than Gilles too. But that is the entire reason why CliffFletcher went with that specifically specific scenario. Because even he knows young goalies get starts in pressure situations and needed to change the parameters to maintain the illusion of being right.
