Somehow, the New York Rangers managed to get to the 2022 Eastern Conference Final without really having to face a starting goaltender. They went through Casey DeSmith, Louis Domingue and one game of Tristan Jarry in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs in seven games against the Pittsburgh Penguins.
They knocked off the Carolina Hurricanes in the second round in Game 7 on Monday night in Raleigh with a 6-2 win, facing Antti Raanta and Pyotr Kochetkov.
What could have been in this series if Carolina had been able to use its best player, Frederik Andersen?
