I think most of us can agree that these 2 had the best goalie performances of the postseason. Both were the best players on their teams and the main (and almost sole reason) they took the Panthers to 6 games. Here are the stats..
Swayman
.933sv% in 12 games facing 348 SA.
In the Maple leafs series, only had 1 game below a .930 sv% and no games under a .920 sv%!
Had 2 games with a sv% below .900 in the Panthers series, but every other game with a sv% above .927
Shesterkin
.926sv% in 16 games facing 524 SA.
In the Washington series, one game below a .900sv%. 3 other games above a .920sv%
In the Carolina series, 3 games below a .900sv%, 3 games above a .917 sv%
In the Florida series, one game below a .900sv%. But the rest of the series never had a game below a .923 sv%.
Shesterkin had the larger workload, with more GP and more shots faced. But was also a bit less consistent, with 5 of his 16 games below a .900sv%. His performance against the Hurricanes is definitely the weakest between the two. But also, his performance against FLA is arguably the best between the two.
Swayman played 4 less games and faced 200+ less shots, but only had 2 games below a .900sv%, all in the series against Florida. I think one could also argue he had the weaker team in front of him, and the Maple leafs were a more dangerous offensive unit than NYR's non-Florida opponents.
