Lundqvist/Ward/Backstrom - Start two!

[jasdou]

Tough matchups tonight for my goaltenders: Lundqvist @ Van, Ward @ Bos and Backstrom vs Pit.

I normally start my best players without thinking too much about matchups and streaks, but tonight I'm leaning towards benching King Henrik to start Ward (strong play lately) and Backstrom (3-0-0 with a 1.62 GAA and .949% against Pit). Any opinions?

Always start your studs! Go with Lundqvist and Ward.

I wouldn't bench Lundqvist, but its damn tempting to bench Ward to play Backstrom. I'm in a similar predicament trying to choose between Vokoun/Backstrom in one league and Halak/Lehtonen in another.

If it were me I would start Backstrom against the WBS with Lundqvist.. but you really can't go wrong with any of the three. Would never bench Lundqvist though...never. To me HE is your stud.
