Rest of Season: Talbot or Smith?

[Forsaken]

Going into playoffs I won't be able to stream much with 4 FA Pickups throughout the entire playoffs.

Jarry is my #1. Kuemper on IR but may just drop him when he comes back if Smith or Talbot are better.

Categories H2H: W,GAA,SV,SV%,SHO. My strategy is to maximize starts to have the most W and SV as those are easier to plan for while also giving me more chances for Shutouts.

I'm debating between Smith who I currently have who looks to be EDM's starter with Koskinen's only starts lately being the second halves of B2Bs and Talbot(was just dropped) who is now starting 3 in a row for MIN and is their likely starter moving forward.

MIN has 14 potential starter games (not including back half of B2Bs) for my playoffs but has Kahkonen there pushing for starts.

EDM has 9 potential starter games (now likely 10 or 11 with the MTL games getting PPD). EDM has a better schedule and a better chance for wins but MIN has more games and plays better defensively.

So, Smith or Talbot? I do not have better options in FA.
