    Elliott, Roloson and Anderson all probable starters. I need to pick 2. Which 2?

    Interesting situation for Minnesota:

    Both Harding and Backstrom are likely out (both did not practice), and according to Russo, Anton Khudobin is the one that may get the start:

    Halak won his last start, he should be in net for Montreal.

  7. Brandon Says:

    The gazette printed probable for Price because of his 2-0 record vs the Bruins this season. Apparently Coach Martin pointed to this yesterday. I hope it’s Halak though!

    To Grahame and Shag: There’s no way I’d bench the goalie of a team that’s won 10 in a row. Elliott has won eight straight, allowing no more than two goals in any of them. Any goalie that hot is a must-start.

    Grahame, I’d sit Roloson. Two starts vs. TB this season, both losses, and four goals allowed in each.

    Rolo is also unconfirmed. I’m hoping for DiPi… I need a start tonight.

    Elliot is on Fire!!! I hope Steve Mason turns his game around fast! New coach time to show what you got!

  15. JohnH Says:

    Turco is 2.85/.907, those numbers have gotten progressively worse each month (3.61/.884 in January), and he’s been losing starts to the immortal Alex Auld. Hard to regard him as “safer.” Also, only Carolina and Edmonton have fewer road wins than Dallas, and CBJ has a better record at home than Vancouver does on the road. And the Jackets might get a jump from Hitch’s firing.

    But regardless of all that, I think you gotta ride Ottawa’s and Elliott’s hot hand.
