The goaltending of Louis Domingue has been rock solid in the postseason.

Domingue has a save percentage of .906, while Shesterkin has a poor goals against average of 4.26.

Washington Capitals (+195) vs. Florida Panthers (-218)

In a battle of Russian goalies, the Capitals will start Ilya Samsonov, while the Panthers counter with Sergei Bobrovsky.

Dallas Stars (+186) vs. Calgary Flames (-207)

Jakob Markstrom got the better of Jake Oettinger in game four, and was rock solid. He only gave up a single goal in a 4-1 Calgary win. The series is tied at two despite the fact the Flames had a +93 better goals for and against differential compared to the Stars in the regular season.
