The defense has not been great as a whole as they are allowing 2.8 goals per game, which is 13th, and killing 81 percent of penalties against them, which is 15th in the NHL.
The thing is, they have an incredible goaltender in Andrei Vasilevskiy. Vasilevskiy is fifth in the sport giving up 2.18 goals per game and leading with 21 wins. Having a great goaltender will be the difference in a lot of series.
They are my pick to win the Stanley Cup for the third time in a row, as no team seems to have an answer on how to beat them in the biggest stages.
