Sit em all with confidence. No need to risk losing those peripheral stats when you have such a good lead it everything.
Alright guys I need to figure out my best strategy here and I figure you Dobberites would be the best to ask.
Currently I'm killing all 4 goalie categories (hopefully the formatting works here):
W GAA SV% SHO
Me 5 0.98 0.961 2
Him 2 2.53 0.911 0
I'm rolling with Bryz, Lehts and Niemi. He has Theodore, Elliott and Ward (he sat Ward for his SO last night, thankfully).
The potential remaining starts for my goalies are:
Lehtonen has Chicago (Tonight)
Niemi has Detroit (Saturday)
Philly has Boston (Saturday) and Pittsburgh (Sunday) so Bryz likely will get one of two there
All in all, realistic scenario I have a chance for 3 starts. 4 if Phi goes to Bryz B2B.
The potential remaining starts for his goalies are:
Elliott has TB on Saturday (not likely to start as he played last night)
Theodore has Buffalo (Saturday)
Carolina has Minnesota (Saturday) & Winnepeg (Sunday) so Ward will likely get one there.
Realistic starts there for him are likely 2. The only way he gets 3 is if Carolina goes to ward B2B.
Which means, if I sit my guys now the likelyhood of him catching me in any of those stats are very slim. I'll give it 70%.
If I start Lehtonen the start tonight and he gets me another W with decent stats I'd say that percentage jumps to about 90% that I'll win all 4 stats (arbitrary numbers are fun!)
Sorry for all the rambling (i'm a numbers guys). What do you guys think? What is my best course of action to secure these stats (which I need because although I'm winning the offense, it's CLOSE.
Thanks!

Sit em all with confidence. No need to risk losing those peripheral stats when you have such a good lead it everything.
95.8743% of all statistics are made up.
At a quick look, I like:
Leht v. Chicago
Bryz v.Boston, Niemi v.Detroit
Bryz v. Pit
In that order.
If I were you, I'd play Lehtonen tonight (last game v Chi: 1.01 GAA, 974 Sv%; career: 4-1, 1.58 GAA, 947 SV%, home this year:16-9, 2.37 GAA)
And see how you go from there. You are in a favorable position, be conservative.

I would sit. The worst case that could happen is he ties you in wins. Thats all I can see happening. So if I were you, I'd sit everyone and keep the good GAA, SV% and SHO.

Not sure how the Flyers will approach the back to back games this weekend...but I wouldnt start Bryz vs the loaded Pens lineup,even as well as he has been playing lately.Bryz probally goes vs Boston and Bobrovsky vs the Pens
I agree with the others sit your goalies.
Ward is playing a weak Minny offense tomorrow so he could post another zero...keep that in mind.
This. There is no way he's going to catch you in GAA or SV% if you bench them all. The best he can do is catch you in Wins if goes 3 for 3 (unlikely). However if you start to play guys you open the door to be caught as your peripherals regress upwards. The upside is not worth the risk.

I sat Lehtonen last night and that was the hardest decision (obviously paid off)
Now since Boucher is confirmed to start against Minn I just have to sit back and wait for 1 goal to be scored on either of his goalies and there's no way he can touch my stats.
Sittin pretty! Thanks boys!
