Game Reports

The AHL playoffs are down to, essentially, four goalies:

  • Manitoba’s AHL Goalie of the Year Cory Schneider vs. Houston’s ECHL call-up/playoff revelation Anton Khudobin
  • Providence’s Finnish stalward Tuukka Rask vs. Hershey’s “the Caps sure know how to pick goalie prospects” playoff revelation Michal Neuvirth
  • Friday night, Schneider bested Khudobin in a 2-1 win for Manitoba, stopping 31 shots to Khudobin’s 16, putting Manitoba up 1-0 in the series. (ProHockeyNews.com)
  • Both series will be in play tonight as Providence and Hershey play their Game 1 and Manitoba and Houston play Game 2.
