After Frederik Andersen's season-ending shutout Sunday clinched the William Jennings Trophy for himself and fellow goalie John Gibson - Bruce Boudreau joked he may have to flip a coin to decide which netminder takes the starting job for their series against the Nashville Predators.
"We're blessed at this stage to have two really good goalies," Boudreau said Monday. His goaltenders combined to allow 192 goals for the season, one less than the team they blanked in their final game, the Washington Capitals.
Both men enter the postseason in impressive form, with Gibson recording a save percentage above .920 since the beginning of March, while Andersen has suffered just one regulation loss since Jan. 1.
Season Stats
| Name | GP | Record | GAA | Sv% | SO |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Andersen | 43 | 22-9-7 | 2.30 | .919 | 3 |
| Gibson | 40 | 21-13-4 | 2.07 | .920 | 4 |
Boudreau said both goalies will likely appear during the postseason, but not necessarily in the opening round, according to Greg Beacham of the Associated Press, making it clear the Ducks have a lengthy playoff run on their minds.
