Handing out grades for Night No. 23 of the Stanley Cup playoffs. The Pittsburgh Penguins put on a clinic in their blowout win over the Senators.
The years of the goalie carousel in Ottawa finally ended in 2011-12 as Craig Anderson established himself as a solid number one in Canadas capital. While his numbers werent elite, his calm demeanor and on-ice leadership helped provide confidence to a very young team in what was supposed to be a rebuilding year for the Sens. The only drawbacks to Andersons game is the fact that he sometimes tries to do too much when handling the puck, which can get him into trouble. That being said, hes the best number one goalie Ottawas had since Patrick Lalime of the early 2000s. If Ottawa can continue its upward trajectory then look for Anderson to get at least 35 wins with a solid save percentage. Ottawas up-tempo attacking system does allow for more odd-man rushes than other teams systems, so dont expect a gaudy goals-against average. (Updated 8/14/12)
