    Default Start Shesterkin Tonight?

    Hello!

    My league in signature, I expected to have the goaltending categories wrapped up by now but apparently CLS and BUF are personally out to ruin my championship aspirations.

    So far the stats for me v. my opponent are:

    Score 5-7

    G: 8-9
    A: 14-15
    +/-: 5-6
    PIM: 4-6
    PPP: 4-8
    SOG: 60-54
    Hit: 21-29
    Blks: 26-22

    W: 1 - 0
    GAA: 2.94 - 3.85
    SA: 128 - 133
    SV%: .906 - .865

    He has Oettinger, Lehner, Georgiev and Halak. Although given that he has two moves left I expect he will try to pick up another goalie or two for spot starts.

    Question is, do I start Shesterkin against BOS tonight? Or do I bench him and hope I can get enough stats with NYI facing NJ twice and then maybe put Saros or Shesterkin in Saturday if I'm desperate?

    Thanks!

    I don't know but I think the Rangers might have a big let down kind of game tonight especially after the 2 game fiasco with the Caps. They might be in for a bad night. I see Boston winning like 5-1 or something like that. That's just my wild guess. Personally I would stick with the Islander goalies vs NJ then wait and see what Saturday brings. Hope this helps you and good luck with the pool.

    Thanks! Ya that was my thought too but it's hard to quantify, on a the second of a back to back following a very emotional game and they're out of playoff contention. Saturday might be a better bet.

    But then like on the flip side are they maybe fired up? T.J Oshie triumphed any emotion the Rangers were going to bring.

    Boston is a tough team to play against regardless of the situation. If you are a gambler then go for it, but I'm too conservative on this one. Hope it works out for you whatever you decide.

    Same question. I'm losing in both SV% and GAA% to my opponent but we are tied in wins at 1. My other goalie is Nedeljkovic. His goalies are Campbell and Saros. I'm winning the week 6-4. I figure since I'm losing the goalie cats anyway I should start Shesty no matter what. If BOS peppers him with shots it may raise my SV%. Make sense?

    Definitely start if you are already losing the rate stats. There's no harm in having him blow up. I'm in the same situation in my finals and am starting Shesterkin. (I also have Bergeron + Marchand so...)

    As for the OP, I would probably start him but it's a much tougher decision.

    Nothing to lose here so yea why not. I would guess it all depends on how the Rangers come out for this game. Good luck.

    Thanks, ya I'm struggling. I think given that I have two more NYI starts and then the opportunity to put in him or Saros on Saturday (or neither) is going to lean me towards benching.
