Goaltending is firmly in the spotlight for the four first-round NHL playoff series that resume Sunday — all in different ways.

In Colorado, the Dallas Stars took a 2-1 series lead over the Avalanche behind a 2-1 win, thanks to a rugged defensive performance.

Montreal not only picked up a 6-3 win to get its first win of the series, it absolutely dominated the game. Even though the Capitals won the first two games of the series, the Canadiens were very much in both games and were giving the Eastern Conference's top seed everything they could handle. They just needed something to go their way.
