Ducks 6 - Capitals 1: Brought to You by the Number...
6
Goals allowed by Olie Kolzig in one of his worst performances of late. Kolzig allowed two goals early in the game on just four shots. The Caps trailed early (and trailed for the first time in their four-game win streak) and never recovered. Anaheim ended the first period with 2 goals on 7 shots.
Kolzig looked better in the second period, allowing one goal on 18 shots, but in the third he allowed three more on nine shots. One of those goals, a shorthander by Marchant, was the result of a misstep by Kolzig.
Overall, Kolzig had 34 shots in the game and only made 28 saves. That's a save percentage of 82.4%, much lower than Kolzig's year save percentage of 91.3%. By contrast, J.S. Giguere made 26 of 27 stops against the Caps (who admittedly could have had more if they had pulled the trigger more often on the PP), giving him a save percentage of 96.3%. That is slightly higher than his season average of 92.6%.
If Kolzig and Giguere had played to par with their season averages, the score would have turned out to closer, actually it would have been a 3-2 win for the Ducks. Because Kolzig's difference to the season average was greater, it was his poor play more than Gigure's great play that resulted in the Caps loss.
