    Default Sit Holtby?

    Not a question I ask often, but I'm considering sitting Holtby (vs. clb) tonight. My other goalies are Allen (vs. Van) and Talbot (vs. Col). Think this is a good move? And if I play him, who do I sit?

    Not advice that I give often, but I would let Holtby have the night off tonight. I love Allen and Talbot's matchups.

    Risk vs reward.


    Allen and Talbot are your safer options for sure, and this is what I would do.

    Just have to understand that the risk is that Holtby is the best goalie and he could put up a 38 save 1-0 win.

    Very true. If Holtby was on top of his game right now I'd probably play him over Talbot. But with a 2.75 GAA over his last 8 games, I'd feel comfortable enough sitting Holtby and accepting that there is a chance I regret it badly.

    I would still play Holtby.
    Clb is on the second half of a b2b, and Holtby is Holtby.

    Hope you took EB's advice... Since Talbot's back to back shut outs he's had a few rough outings now
    Experience is the teacher of all things.

    I made the same mistake. I started bob over holtby. i'm in a real tight matchup with sulla this week (actually, we're up against each other in 2 separate leagues, but he's destroying me in one of them), so I could have used all the points I could get. I also started dubnyk, which didn't do me any favors.

    I played Holtby, but I sat Allen instead of Talbot. I wish I sat Talbot however. Goalies are so unpredictable!
