It was the goalkeeper ‘s fifth shutout of his career, beginning on the 26th^E Post-season party.

“The fewer goals in a match, the better the chances of winning,” Talbot told a news conference after the first match. We gave in in the first half, but we knew they were going to push hard. ”

For his part, Ericsson hit the target for the second time in 13 playoff games.

“It all started with Faceoff,” the overtime hero said. Greener [Jordan Greenway] And [Marcus] Foligno did an amazing job. I know where the puck is going. “

At Knights, Mark-Andre Fleury didn’t do bad, he was tested at 30 shots. He must have stood a few times with excellent savings in Mitten.

“He’s fantastic,” said Peter Debor, head coach of the Quebec goalkeeper.

“I think it’s an easy decision. When we look at our regular season, our two marbles are great, but Fleury got us through more difficult times and has been consistent throughout the year. It’s a very light decision and we have the luxury of having these two guys.”

A record

Starting the conference, Fleury became the first masked man to see action in 15 consecutive playoff tournaments in the history of the National Hockey League.

Only Martin Brodyur (17), Patrick Roy (17), Andy Moog (16) and Jacques Plante (16) have played in the playoffs more than once.
