Backup goalies, the edge also goes to the Caps, who can bring in Bill Ranford, who has won the Conn Smythe. Big edge to the Caps here. The Caps need to keep up their terrific PK as they play in this final, or the series will be a short one. The Caps PK has been excellent in the postseason so far, and there is no reason this shouldn't continue. Detroit's PP is good, and they have lots of folks to put on it.
Edge here is to the Caps however, as they are the best at killing the penalties.
Washington PP vs. Detroit PK - Also important. Detroit allowed only 1 PP goal by Dallas in 6 games, they have been excellent on special teams. The Caps use a pretty standard set of forwards, and don't shoot enough on the PP sometimes. They get the pretty play once every 8 or 9 times, but that's not good enough. Edge to Detroit.
