Justin in St. Catherine’s, Ontario asks…

How would you rank the NHL goalies based on their playoff performances so far?

Answer:

1. Craig Anderson-With the exception of a 6-5 loss, the former Panther has been phenomenal. He has a .948 goals against average, as well as 43 and 51-save performances. Anderson shutout the Sharks in a thrilling overtime victory. He has, ridiculously, faced 174 shots.

2. Pekka Rinne-The underrated goalie has been fantastic, recording a .953 G.A.A. in three games.

3. Tukka Rask-In three games, the Maple Leafs’ draft choice has played to a .936 G.A.A.

4. Brian Boucher-The Flyers’ goaltender has only surrendered eight goals in four games.

5. Ryan Miller-The likely Vezina winner has been dependable. But, Rask has outplayed him.

Finishing the list are:

6.       Antti Niemi

7.       Evgeni Nabokov

8.       Jonathan Quick

9.       Jimmy Howard

10.   Ilya Bryzgalov

11.   Semyon Varlamov

12.   Martin Brodeur

13.   Marc-Andre Fleury

14.   Roberto Luongo

15.   Jaroslav Halak
