Well who ever gets good goaltending except most of the teams fighting for the last 3 playoff spots have been getting atrocious goaltending. The Lightning have been outscored 27-14 in the last seven games. The Islanders' Mike Dunham has allowed 16 goals in three games since Rick DiPietro's injury. Toronto's Andrew Raycroft has allowed five goals or more four times in his last nine starts. Montreal's tandem, meanwhile, have had 35 goals sneak by them over the last eight games. Only Cam Ward's replacement John Grahame seems to be doing alright as is Lundqvist for the Rangers.
Goaltending since the trade deadline:
6. Tampa Bay - nine games, 3.67 GAA, .870 sv%
7. Carolina - nine games, 2.11 GAA, .918 sv%
8. Rangers - 10 games, 1.70 GAA, .939 sv%
9. Islanders - nine games, 3.78 GAA, .898 sv%

12. Boston - nine games, 3.00 GAA, .915 sv%
13. Florida - nine games, 3.11 GAA, .899 sv%
Who's going to make the playoffs in the East? At this rate it won't matter, because with netminding like this, no one has a chance to get out of the first round.
