    i would say bench both, he will likely win the wins stat anyways so i would try to make him win the GAA sv% cats

    Bob is likely only going to play one of the games, and they will probably give Korpisalo the easy matchup in NJ.
    Vas vs Buff does not inspire any confidence in me, so he's sitting almost no matter what.
    I would probably start Holtby just because he has been so good. You also do get a 30 min buffer tonight between when his two goalies start @ 7pm and when Holtby is locked in @ 7:30pm. So you can see how they do in the first bit of the game and change your mind if something big happens. Assuming you don't have any starts on Sunday, it seems like you're going to lose Ws and SOs anyways, so it may be best to hope he can't catch your GAA and SV%.

    I do have to say, those are some of the best goalie stats I have seen in a week.

    Great insight...I ended up benching both and of course....2 great games that would have improved my stats. And he benched Price.

    To make matters worse in my other league with Lundqvist/Crawford I was up in goalie stats, started them both and now am down.

    Isn't that always the way. I've never had much success when choosing one goalie over another in a one night matchup. Funny thing is I probably would have said the same thing that cost you the win...
