The second-round matchup between the Colorado Avalanche and Vegas Golden Knights will feature two of the most dominant goaltenders that have been in between the pipes in Round 1 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs and throughout the regular season.
Colorado's Philipp Grubauer and Vegas' Marc-Andre Fleury both held the crease for their respective clubs in the first round of the postseason and will look to be the deciding factor in the second-round bout.
Throughout the regular season, Grubauer and Fleury battled for the top spot in all goaltending categories in the league, proving to be two of the finest keepers to protect the paint in 2020-21. The netminders each finished in the top five in wins, goals-against average and shutouts.
