Tonight: Reimer, Khudobin, Brossoit

W /GAA / SV / SV% / SHO
H2H - Daily Start

Start two of the three:

Reimer vs Nashville (B2B)
Khudobin vs Tampa Bay
Brossoit vs Vancouver (B2B)

These are the goalies that ride closer to the end of my bench, but due to injuries, I am left having to bank on these guys for a while.

I have a loose formula of who I usually start but the rules contradict each other tonight.

- Play big-ticket goalies above all others (My three top goalies are injured, so this does not apply)
- Always play the Dallas tandem (I have Bishop and Khudobin)
- Never start goalies against Tampa unless they are the big-ticket goalie (My three top goalies are injured, so this does not apply).
- Be wary of back-to-back games

I think I know who I am going to start, but I wanted to toss it out here and see what you guys thought. We spend so much time analyzing the options for the excellent/good players and gloss over the roster fringe. But as we all have come to know, it is the bottom half of your roster that wins championships.

So... What say you?

I think Brossoit is the easy choice here.

Tough to pick between the other two but I'm, expecting a bounce back game from Khudobin and have little to no faith in Reimer. So even though he's facing Tampa, I take Khudobin here

Anyone else?

Start Reimer and bench the other two

Brossoit for sure - The nice thing about back to back games this year is that they are always the same teams playing each other.

Next, I would go with Reimer against Nashville:

RK	TEAM	GP	G	GA	GF/G	GA/G	DIFF	SF/G	SA/G
1	Tampa Bay	19	69	39	3.63	2.05	1.74	29.7	27.9
29	Nashville	22	48	64	2.18	2.91	-0.45	30.5	27.8
19	Carolina	21	68	58	3.24	2.76	0.71	31.9	28.9
26	Dallas	17	46	43	2.71	2.53	0.29	26.1	28.3

I think Nashville only scoring 2.18 goals per game is an attractive matchup.

The differential of Tampa Bay GF/G to GA/G of 1.74 is also something I want to avoid.
