A series with the Rangers obviously favors Shesterkin in nets, as would a series against the Islanders favor Sorokin.
But I can't see a series with Carolina favoring any of their guys. I might even favor Vitek, but it's a wash at the absolute best for them.
Andersen is a joke at this point, a broken down has-been, that was really good 4 years ago and had an up year last season, but he isn't any good anymore. Andersen can't be taken seriously anymore. It doesn't mean he can't win a series, but he shouldn't be taken seriously like he was 4+ years ago.
Kochetkov is probably their best hope, but he's struggled as of late and has been brutal in the two games against us.
I don't even think they bother dressing Raanta's sorry ass anymore. They probably still have PTSD over what the Rangers did to him in games 6 and 7 last year.
