Round Two Preview: Goaltending could be the difference

The Colorado Avalanche and St. Louis Blues both started two goaltenders in round one, but for different reasons. The Blues went to Jordan Binnington after Ville Husso lost games two and three. Binnington took the crease and didn’t look back. For the Avalanche, Pavel Francouz had to step in for an injured Darcy Kuemper and sealed the deal with two road victories. Both teams have excellent depth scoring, which makes goaltending the deciding factor in this series. How do these goalie tandems match up in round two?
