You Pick: Start 2 of These 3 Tonight
Backstrom vs. EDM
Crawford @ DET
Rask vs. MTL
Which two start? Right now I have Rask and Backstrom going.
Rask is playing Montreal. Bruins-Canadiens games can get crazy...especially Montreal coming off a 6 goal loss to PIT.
Backstrom is arguably the lowest on the depth chart of the three but has the best matchup at home against EDM which has been hit-or-miss and may be without their catalyst Taylor Hall.
It's hard to argue against a Hawks goalie after everything with the win streak and how well Crawford was playing before his injuries but you can never be too sure and Detroit at the Joe is a real tough test.
Let me know your take....
