Anastasia Söderström's playoff performance is a pretty low bar to clear after the unmitigated disaster of last year's campaign, and though she had a slow start to this season she's been adapting well to the greater responsibilities as the season has gone on. Heading into the playoffs, she's adapting to the increased pressure well. Other than last season's meltdown, Ana has always been a goalie who can really elevate her level of play for big games and get mentally dialed in and ready to play, which is an important skill for any goalie and especially one on an underpowered team. Practice is also the most important part of playoff hockey, and it's especially important when being able to focus is Ana's best trait when playing goalie. Last season, she let in some weak goals and struggled to find a groove after that, but she didn't have to worry too much about media because the team shielded her from having to talk to the press. This year, she's taken the expectations in stride and is thriving under pressure.
