Philipp Grubauer Posts First Career Playoff Shutout
6 years agoColorado Avalanche goaltender Philipp Grubauer stopped all 32 of the shots that he faced on Thursday, leading the Avalanche to a series-tying victory in Game 4. After a relatively down year for Grubauer in the regular season, posting a .917 save percentage, the playoffs have been a revelation for him where he has a .930 save percentage over nine games. After dominating the Calgary offensive attack in the first round, Grubauer struggled against San Jose, allowing 10 goals on 90 shots through the first three games. Game 4 was a completely different story, however, and was a dramatic return to the playoff magic Grubauer has seemed to capture. He is a much better option at home, with a .945 save percentage at home this postseason, and is a solid play when the series returns to Colorado.
