Jonathan Quick's save-percentage while short-handed was the difference in the game, as he stopped all 10 shots he faced. Meanwhile, Roberto Luongo gave up 2 goals to Kings' captain Dustin Brown while the Canucks were enjoying the man-advantage.
The 6'1", 214 lbs Quick finished the regular season with a 31-14-8 record, a 2.41 goals against average, and a .919 save percentage. He has a career save percentage of .916 during the regular season, and .901 during the playoffs.
The 6'3", 217 lbs. Luongo finished the regular season with a 35-21-13 record, a 1.95 goals against average, and a .929 save percentage. He has a career save percentage of .919 during the regular season, and .917 during the playoffs.
My scouting reports for goalies focus on their ability to make saves, make big saves, control rebounds, and maintain good balance. The results of these attributes are added together to produce the goaltender's rating. The highest possible rating is 4.00, while the lowest possible rating is 0.00. The higher the value the better a goalie has played.
The first number involved in the calculation is the percentage of saves a goalie makes without giving up a rebound. For example, if a goalie makes 10 saves and gives up only 1 rebound his "no rebound percentage" is .900. Again, the higher the number, the better a goalie performs.
The next number in the calculation is the percentage of safe rebounds a goalie gives up for each rebound allowed. Rebounds deflected outside of the main slot are considered safe. As such, a safe rebound is defined as a rebound outside of an imaginary line drawn from each goalpost to the corresponding board-side hash mark. As an example of this calculation, if a goalie gives up 10 rebounds and deflects 9 of those pucks outside the slot, his "safe rebound percentage" is .900. Again, the higher the number, the better a goalie performs.
The next number is the percentage of saves that would be considered "big saves". A big save is defined as any save made on a play that would be considered a traditional scoring chance. As an example of this calculation, if a goalie makes 5 big saves on 20 shots his "big save percentage" would be .250. Once again, the higher the number, the better a goalie performs.
I also track how a goalie controls the puck. I do this by tracking his successful or unsuccessful pass-attempts, as well as his successful or unsuccessful attempts to dump the puck out of his zone. The resulting numbers are used to produce a ratio of successful plays for every 1 unsuccessful play.
SHORT-HANDED GOALTENDING RATING
Despite his low short-handed save-percentage, Luongo still produced an above average SH goaltending rating of 2.13. His rating was simply saved by his exceptional rebound control. He stopped 5 of 6 short-handed shots, and allowed only 2 rebounds from those 5 saves. One of those 2 rebounds landed in the slot, and he made 1 save on a shot that could be considered a scoring chance.
Quick's short-handed play was simply exceptional, and allowed him to produce the highest short-handed goaltending rating ever calculated. He stopped all 10 shots he faced. He allowed only 2 rebounds from those 10 saves, while 1 of those rebounds landed in the slot. Two of his 10 saves came on shots that are considered scoring chances.
Quick was successful with his only attempted pass while short-handed, as well as his only attempt to dump the puck out of the defensive-zone.

OVERALL GOALTENDING RATING
Luongo's overall goaltending rating was hurt by his play while his own team was on the powerplay, as the Canucks gave up 2 short-handed goals during the game. Luongo's average overall rating was helped by his rebound placement. Overall, he stopped 22 of 26 shots. Sixteen of those 22 saves produced rebounds, but only 7 of those 16 rebounds landed in the slot. He made 6 saves on shots that are considered scoring-chances.
Luongo was successful with 2 of his 3 pass-attempts, for a puck-handling ratio of 2 successful plays for every 1 unsuccessful play.
Quick's above-average overall rating of 2.01 was helped by his impressive save-percentage, as well as his rebound control. Overall, he stopped an incredible 46 of 48 shots. He allowed rebounds on 25 of those 46 saves, while 14 of those 25 rebounds landed in the slot. Seven of his 46 saves were produced on Vancouver scoring chances.
Quick was equally impressive handling the puck. He was successful with all 7 of his pass-attempts and each of his 2 dump-outs.
