Here are the presumed goalies for round 1 of the playoffs. Most are obvious. Some...not so much.
Pit: Murray TB: Vasilevskiy Tor: Andersen Bos: Rask Cmb: Bobrovsky NJ: Kinkaid (Gotta believe he'll be the starter. He's 16-2-1 since Feb 13) Wsh: Holtby/Grubauer (Trotz hasn't tipped his hand just yet) Phi: Elliott (Returned from injury on Saturday so I would imagine he'd be the starter) Nsh: Rinne Wpg: Hellebuyck Min: Dubnyk VGK: Fleury Ana: Miller (assuming Gibson is still injured) SJ: Jones LA: Quick Col: Bernier (Varlamov will be out for round 1 vs Nashville: https://twitter.com/MikeChambers/status/982841230630383616)
Feel free to post any goalie info you consider relevant in this thread throughout the playoffs.

Elliott
will be the Flyers' rock as he was when healthy this season. In 41
playoff games, mostly with the St. Louis Blues, Elliott has a 2.60
goals-against average and .908 save percentage.
Matt
Murray is Pittsburgh's starter and has won the Stanley Cup in each of
his first two seasons. His playoff resume includes a 22-9 record, 1.95
goals-against average and .928 save percentage in 32 games.
QUICK VS. FLEURY: Goalies Jonathan Quick and Marc-Andre Fleury have
five Stanley Cup rings and 143 playoff wins between them. Both teams can
bank on that experience to get them through playoff duress and perhaps
steal a game

https://twitter.com/amandacstein/status/984106204812234752: John Hynes knows his starter but won’t divulge until tomorrow. “Sticking with the same routine” of only naming goaltender on day-of.

Incorrect he is a person standing in net pretending to be a NHL calibur goalie...
actually somewhat surprising. WON his last 7 regular season games with a shutout his last vs Rangers BUT he DID allow 3 GA's or more 11 of last 14. just ran into a buzz saw tonight and got NO "goal support" early

https://twitter.com/adater/status/984488251997278209 Warsofsky in for Alt. That’s the only Avs lineup change = Jonathan Bernier in goal for Avalanche (Semyon Varlamov with a knee injury and will be OUT at least the entire Western Conference First Round)

And the question still remains...Gibson or Miller for Anaheim?
My money's on Gibson based on the fact that he was practicing a couple of days ago without any issue. Not to mention that Reto Berra was sent back to the AHL. But we know how Carlyle usally is so we might not find out until they hit the ice tonight.

Ducks goaltender John Gibson will start Game 1 after missing the final two games of the regular season with an upper-body injury. He practiced for three days with no setbacks.
