At playoff time, NHL teams march to the beat of their goaltenders and count on them to save the day

DENVER (AP) — Colorado goaltender Alexandar Georgiev went home after a recent shaky outing and immediately watched film — the car-racing thriller “The Fast and the Furious.”

Anything to keep his own mind from racing.

It’s playoff time, where teams march to the beat of their goaltenders. They want them laser-focused, full of confidence, and ready to save the day.

There are quite a few teams going into the postseason with big decisions in net. That includes Boston, which could split the goaltending duties, and the Avalanche, where Georgiev led the league in wins (38) but also goals against (183).
