Grubauer won all four games he started in this series. Allowing only four goals on 82 shots. He was beat late in the game by a point-shot tip in from Clayton Keller which he just missed with his stick. It's fair to say that the Golden Knights will be a much stiffer test for Grubauer, but he has remained healthy, is playing well and will get some deserved rest while the remaining teams finish their series. The Avalanche move to the second round for the second year in a row.

There still isn't a timeline for Grubauer since he was injured in the Stadium Series game vs. the LA Kings where Ian Cole lost balance and collided with him. Pavel Francouz has filled in admirably as the new starter so they won't rush him back. He's been out since February 15th.

Two of the goals Washington scored on him came on the power play. The Avalanche were getting careless with their sticks as they were called for two high-sticking penalties to which the Caps converted on. Aside from the loss, Grubauer played very well and has been excellent as of late for his team. He's making saves and always giving the Avs a chance to be successful. The Avalanche have one of the best strength of schedule's down the stretch so fire him up with confidence. He sits on a 18-12-0-4 record with a 2.65 GAA and .915 save percentage.
