Barring injuries or suspensions, goalie changes just don't happen in the playoffs.
SKA lost 1:2. In the previous two wins Koskinen allowed 2 goals total. What would be a reasonable basis to change goalie in a series tied 2:2?
If Putin really cared he'd just play goalie himself. The puck would never come anywhere close to the net and he'd probably also score seven goals.
Yup, that's what CSKA did and oh look, they got a 1-0 shutout win. Go figure. The russian AV is coaching SKA.Koskinen hasn't been bad, but the CSKA goalies have been better. Some coaches will change up the goalie to change things around for the team, especially when the back up is very good to begin with. In this case, the back up is a better player than the starter.

The CSKA goalies were excellent in this series, Koskinen was average. Shestyorkin has proven himself to be better than Koskinen, maybe Shestyorkin will get to start in the playoffs next season because of this.
Yup, Sorokin was yanked today after giving up 2 goals on 2 shots.Sorokin wasn’t good. Johansson (sp?) was.
There goes Putin’s election yearYeah, but Malamud said the fix was in!
