Vokoun continued his strong post-season with a 35 save performance in Game 1. The only goal he allowed was a jam play early in the first period, but he bounced back and shut the door on the Senators. Vokoun has posted a 1.28 GAA and .962 SV% in three starts.
After Marc-Andre Fleury struggled early in the Penguins first round series with the Islanders, Tomas Vokoun came in a shut the door for Pittsburgh. He posted a 1.41 GAA and .957 SV% in Game's 5 and 6. After two performances like he had there is no surprise that Coach Bylsma will go with him in Game 1 vs. the Senators.
Vokoun stopped all 31 shots that the Islanders threw his way in a 4-0 shutout win on Thursday. He is starting because Marc-Andre Fleury (who struggled mightily last year) struggled in the first four games. He will be back in goal for Game 6 where the Penguins will look to close out the series.
Marc-Andre Fleury has struggled big time in the first four games of the series posting a 3.40 GAA and .891 SV%. Vokoun will get the start in Game 5. He last started a playoff game in 2006-07 as a member of the Nashville Predators.
Vokoun allowed just two goals on 40 shots in a winning on Saturday. He will get his second straight start tonight when the Penguins take on the Senators. He is 8-1-0 on the road this season versus 4-3-0 at home, so he could make for a good spot start tonight. However the Sens are a team desperate for a win, so don't expect them to just roll over.
The Penguins have a loaded schedule coming up so Fleury looks to be getting an extended breather here.
Vokoun allowed four goals on 13 shots in his last start. He will make his first start since April 2nd when the Penguins take on the Lightning. Vokoun is 6-1-0 on the road this season, he should make for a solid start.
Vokoun allowed four goals on 13 shots in his last start. It looks like he is in-line to make his first start since April 2nd when the Penguins take on the Lightning. Vokoun is 6-1-0 on the road this season, he should make for a solid start.
Vokoun stopped all 12 shots he faced after Marc-Andre Fleury got hurt last Tuesday and then posted back-to-back shutouts on Thursday and Saturday. He has not given up a goal in the last 162:42 so there is no reason for him not to get the start. He has a great matchup tonight vs. the Sabres and is a must-start the way he is playing right now.
Vokoun posted a 20-save shutout vs. the Jets on Thursday. He will be back between the pipes tonight with Fleury backing him up. He has a good matchup vs. the Islanders and the Penguins should be able to continue their 14-game winning streak.
Vokoun was scheduled to start tomorrow before Fleury was hurt. He stopped all 12 shots he faced in the third period last night after Fleury was hurt. He has a good matchup tomorrow vs. the Jets.
Vokoun has won four straight games and has a good chance to make it five in a row tonight vs. an Islanders. The Penguins score at will which makes Vokoun a strong candidate to win whenever he starts.
Vokoun has won all three of his last three appearances including a relief win when Fleury struggled. In those three games he posted a 2.61 GAA and .909 SV%. He has a tough matchup vs. the Bruins.
It appears Vokoun will start the second game of a back-to-back vs. the Rangers and the Bruins. Vokoun has won all three of his last three appearances including a relief win when Fleury struggled. In those three games he posted a 2.61 GAA and .909 SV%. He has a tough matchup vs. the Bruins.
Vokoun gets the second of B2B games this weekend. The Penguins will be without Malkin tonight.
Vokoun has only made two starts in the last two weeks and he was on the losing end of both of them. In those two contests he posted a 6.84 GAA and .815 SV%. I would be tough to give him a spot start after looking at those numbers. He has a tough matchup vs. the first place Canadiens.
After a good start to the season Vokoun has fallen off and is the clear #2 behind Marc-Andre Fleury. This will be his first start since giving up six goals on 32 shots last Wednesday vs. Philadelphia. However he has a good matchup tonight against the Panthers and is worth a spot start.
Vokoun hasn't played since February 10th and is clearly the #2 goalie in Pittsburgh. He will need outplay Ilya Bryzgalov if he is going to record a win tonight. The Penguins are a better team than Philadelphia but Bryzgalov has played this well and could steal one at any point. Vokoun makes a decent spot start tonight.
After a strong start to the season Vokoun is clearly the #2 goalie option is Pittsburgh right now. Fleury has won 4 of his last 5 starts, but it looks like it is Vokoun who will be between the pipes tonight vs. Winnipeg. Against a weak Winnipeg team if Vokoun starts he makes a strong spot start.
This is the tail-end of a home-and-home for the Penguins vs. the Devils and Fleury started yesterday so as expected Vokoun will start tonight. Vokoun is 3-1-0 with 2.08 GAA and .927 SV% this season and will look to avenge yesterday's 3-1 loss today vs. Johan Hedberg.
