Budaj stopped 26 of 28 shots in a 3-0 loss to the Blackhawks on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

It's another hard-luck loss for the third-stringer, who's been thrust into duty thanks to groin injuries starter Jonathan Quick and regular backup Jeff Zatkoff. Budaj dropped a tough one less than 24 hours prior to the Blues too, as the Kings fell 1-0 despite his 24 saves. That said, with consistent performances like these, head coach Daryl Sutter will almost certainly keep riding the former Avalanche netminder while he's rolling.
