If Penguins didn’t lose to Chicago on April 11th then Florida would have missed the playoffs by 1 point. Boston gets through first round and Dubas still has a job?
With 17 goals on 4.8 expected goals, the Leafs Wings game is by far the worst combined goaltending game since the NHL's event tracking started in 2007. Previous worst game was Jets 9-8 win over the Flyers in 2011 with 8.7 goals above expected.
Igor Shesterkin had 8.6 goals above expected in the first round. That’s double the next best goalie (Oettinger with 4.3). The Rangers didn’t give him any help.
