Goaltenders
Trending up: Roberto Luongo, Florida Panthers -- Luongo deserved a better fate against the Boston Bruins on Tuesday night, when his desperate effort was spoiled by Milan Lucic’s game-deciding goal. Two nights later, the 35-year-old earned his 400th career win with a 31-save performance in a 6-1 drubbing of the Carolina Hurricanes.
Trending down: Ondrej Pavelec, Jets -- After a six-game winning streak heading into the week, Pavelec was saddled with two straight losses in which he surrendered seven goals on 48 shots. With the Jets on the outside of the Western Conference playoff picture looking in (the team is tied with the Kings, though the Kings have two more non-shootout wins), they need their goaltenders to step up now more than ever.
Surprise of the Week: Frederik Andersen, Anaheim Ducks -- Both Andersen and John Gibson had some shaky stretches recently, making the Ducks' goaltending picture a murky one heading into the playoffs, but Andersen has posted three straight wins in his past three starts, surrendering just five goals during that span.
