In a shocking move, the Washington Capitals have made a significant change in their netminding duties for Game 2 of their playoff series against the Colorado Avalanche. After a disappointing performance from top goalie prospect, Lundqvist Wallstedt, who allowed a staggering eight goals in the Capitals' Game 1 loss, the team has opted to go with veteran backup, Gustavsson. The decision marks a major shift in the team's strategy, as Wallstedt was widely expected to be the starter for the series. With the series on the line, the Capitals are counting on Gustavsson to provide a much-needed boost in net and help the team even the score against the high-powered Avalanche.
