Ya no chance I would start Biron tonight. Too much risk.
Smith and Nabby would be my two for sure, although Id really only start Nabby here if you really really need another start.
I need to start two goalies tonight
Biron, Smith or Nabokov
Which 2 would you start - Roto league.
I am leaning against starting Biron as its Crosby's big return (and Letang)

Smith and Biron for me.
Smith has had good numbers against Calgary this season, but has struggled of late in general. The Flames are coming in hot.
Biron, call me crazy, but I see something here. Rangers are amazing at home and the magnitude of this game is not lost on the Rangers...even though Callahan and Del Zotto are confirmed out of tonight.
Nabokov has good number as well against the Flyers this season and over his career, but the Flyers are as hot as any team right now.
These three goalies all come with a risk, I'm not gonna lie, but I think Smith and Biron can give you the greatest reward...and will tonight.
If it makes you feel any better, I am starting Biron tonight as well...by choice. I do not need the start.
Smith and Nabby.
Smith should get you ratio stats if not the win; he's 2-1-0, 2.24 gaa against the Flames. He's not confirmed yet, though.
Nabby has 8-2-2 record against Philly, 2.44 gaa, 914 sv%.
I actually don't like Nabby as a start, but I feel he'll be a safer bet than Biron.

No to Biron. Sure, NYR are amazing at home. However, Full force Pens + a hot Fleury, I feel that there is more to lose than to gain.
Pens have 3 sick lines with Crosby centering the 3rd right now. Biron could be in for a bad night. Also, Fleury shutout NYR last time they played. Not saying this will happen again but yeah, there should be better options.

Wouldn't start Biron tonight... 9 in a row, return of crosby/letang, lundqvist out... the stars are aligned for the Pens lol
