Frederik Andersen faced just 16 shots in the game but gave up three goals. He has been fantastic this season, posting a 2.47 goals-against average while going 14-5-0. However, do not be surprised if it is Antti Raanta (15-2-3, 2.32, .908) between the pipes. This is one of the best defensive teams in the NHL, allowing 2.57 goals per game, second overall and they are fifth in penalty killing at 82.7%.
