    Default Who to Start (2 out of 3) for Tuesday's Games??

    Hi All,

    Which two (2) goalies would you start tonight based on the following statistics & situation:

    CATEGORIES
    Wins | Saves | GAA | SV%

    GOALIES
    Ben Bishop (DAL) @ COL
    Andrei Vasilevskiy (TBL) @ CAR
    Jaroslav Halak (NYI) @ ARI

    Normally I wouldn't be considering Halak, but playing Arizona is extremely enticing. What do you think?? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

    Cheers!

    Dan

    Dallas and Tampa also have favourable matchups so I'm choosing your two best goalies and leaving Halak on the bench.

    I'm going to go against the grain here and start Bishop / Halak and sit Vas. Just a feeling that Halak has been playing well (despite his 3.00 GAA) and Arizona's offense has been nothing, meanwhile Tampa has been in some high-scoring affairs.

    Yup.. you have top goalies, on top teams that are not playing a powerhouse opponent. Start them.

    And I think Halak is a sit for sure. Arizona has to win sometime and I think tonight is the night they get their first win.
