    Default Start 3 of these 4 goalies for playoffs

    My league finals are 2 weeks, starting tomorrow. Goalie stats are 2 points for a win, 1 for OT/SO loss, shutouts for 2 extra. We start 3 goalies, I have 4. Who do you go with?

    Fleury: 7 Games, 5 Home, 2 Away, 4 vs Playoff Teams, 3 vs Non-Playoff teams, 1 Back to Back
    1. 20th v VAN
    2. 22th @ SJ
    3. 24th @ COL
    4. 26th v COL
    5. 28th v ARI
    6. 30th v STL
    7. 31st v SJ

    Hellebuyck: 6 Games, 4 Home, 2 Away, 4 vs Playoff Teams, 2 vs Non-Playoff teams, 0 Back to Back (Assuming ANA is not a playoff team)
    1. 20th v LA
    2. 23rd v ANA
    3. 25th v NSH
    4. 27th v BOS
    5. 29th @ CHI
    6. 31st @ TOR

    Rinne: 8 Games, 4 Home, 4 Away, 6 vs Playoff Teams, 2 vs Non-Playoff teams, 2 Back to Back
    1. 19th @ BUF
    2. 22nd v TOR
    3. 24th @ MIN
    4. 25th @ WPG
    5. 27th v MIN
    6. 29th v SJ
    7. 31st v BUF
    8. 1st @ TB

    F. Andersen: 7 Games, 4 Home, 3 Away, 3 vs Playoff Teams, 4 vs Non-Playoff teams, 1 Back to Back
    1. 20th @ TB
    2. 22nd @ NSH
    3. 24th v DET
    4. 26th v BUF
    5. 28th v FLA
    6. 30th @ NYI
    7. 31st v WPG

    Fleury with 5 home games jumps out as one of the three. Rinne may be rested a bit before playoffs, so I could see him getting 5 of the tougher starts and Saros getting 3.

    Andersen is supposed to return on Tuesday. Assuming he does, he starts with some tough matchups in Tampa Bay and Nashville. Even if he's healthy, I can't see the Leafs overworking him down the stretch given the latest injury scare. Normally I'd suggest starting him anyway, but you've got considerable wealth in goal. So Andersen would be the one to bench in my opinion.
