The Grand Rapids Griffins “other” goalie Michal Postava has played himself into the spotlight in the AHL playoffs.
Postava’s consistently strong play earned him the net for Game 1 of the Griffins’ playoff series against the Manitoba Moose. He’s is making the most of his opportunity with a 1.01 goals-against average and .957 save percentage (67 saves on 70 shots) to give the Griffins a 2-1 lead in the best-of-five series. Postava needed only 15 saves in Wednesday’s 4-2 win.
“He’s a special kid, man,” Grand Rapids defenseman Erik Gustafsson said. “He’s a great goalie. makes it so much easier for us playing in front of him. . . He’s a very good goaltender. Makes us very calm to play in front of him too, so it’s fun to see.”
The Red Wings signed him as a free agent last summer after he helped his Brno Kometa win the Czech League playoff grown. The title was won on Postava’s 3-0 shutout in a Game 7.
The Red Wings already had two premium prospects in Sebastian Cossa and Trey Augustine. Cossa is a Red Wings first-round pick and Augustine was the best college goalie this season. But Augustine is only recently signed and Postava’s consistency pushed him ahead of Cossa.
