    Default Saros or Howard?

    Saros looks like he is going to start tonight for Nashville versus Detroit. It seems like a no brainer to start him over Jimmy Howard, but I still wanted to ask.

    Saros is indeed the right play

    You never know. That’s what’s so great about sports. The battle is USUALLY won by the strong, but all the advice on earth still won’t make Saros a certainty. Sure, I’d pick him too - but with 60% confidence.

    60% is better than 40% for Howard.

    That is the way I see it. Nashville has a much better chance in getting the Win.

    Hmmm. Voice of 60/40 here. On DFS, I didn’t play this game at all.

    My point wasn’t that “you never know.” It was that you CAN’T know. It doesn’t work like that.

    What I actually should have done is played both Howard and Saros and got a win out of it instead of Mike Smith. I was thinking Mike Smith had a good chance against LA and right now that doesn't look too good.

    depending on situation, but most of the time i prefer playing the G head to head rather than going for 2 W... safer that way
