    Same goalies. Similar problem

    TB at Tor - start or sit Andersen
    NYI at Fla - start or sit Lehner (if he starts)
    Arz at Veg - start or sit Subban/MAF

    I suspect TB will rest some players & Andersen is coming off his best game in a month. No doubt Tor will be up for this game.
    Lehner's about as automatic as it comes. Fla can fill the score sheet though.
    I figure whoever starts for Vegas is a MUST start as most Arz games are low scoring & Vegas is solid at home. MAF might be back. I feel this one's a lock.

    If Lehner sits... Do I risk Andersen? Or bench to play it safe. All G cats are super tight... I'm up 8-5-2 in the Championship
    $600 for 1st $300 2nd

    Current goalie stats:
    W L GAA SV% SO
    Him 3 4 2.91 .892 0
    Me 4 4 3.00 .907 0

    He owns the Boston duo, Halak & Rask - they're in Minn tonight.

    Does he only own the Boston Duo?

    I would rather start VGK goalie and Lehner. If Tampa is starting a full lineup then I wouldn't touch Andersen.

    Okay. Rittich is likely done then, as I think Smith gets the last game as a tune up before being the starter to begin the playoffs. That means Boston has two games left, against a weak Minny team, and a resting TBay team (who likely won't start Vas in their last game - I think he gets game 81). So that's two games left, possibly two wins, and say 5 GA.

    On your side, I agree with starting the VGK starter. After that, I think I risk taking an L somewhere, knowing it should be easy enough to catch GAA, and it would take a major blow up to lose Sv%. Lehner and the Isles are a lot less prone to major blowups, so I also agree with starting him over Andersen. That being said, I don't like the TOR Tbay matchup for you, especially with TBay gunning for a record and TOR only playing as a tune up. Definite sit of Freddy even if Lehner doesn't start.

    They won't be, but I'm still sitting him.
