On today's episode of Locked on Wild, we end the goalie debate with the claim that Filip Gustavsson's performance against Colorado was the final audition needed to give him the Game 1 start. We look at his numbers against a variety of opponents, and why his calm demeanor can help tremendously when the playoff tension ramps up. We also look at how Sam Steel and Freddy Gaudreau helped lead the Wild over the Avalanche. For Steel, we look at his ability to provide depth on all 4 lines, and his tendency to be more effective in small doses such as filling a line opening due to injury. We also look at the remarkable consistency that Freddy Gaudreau provides and how he has settled in as the 3rd line center after playing higher in the lineup earlier in the year.
