Антон Валерьевич Худобин will start tonight.
Has that been confirmed?
There are 2 schools of thought when approaching a back to back scenario.
1) Start your backup against what you perceive to be the weaker team and your #1 against the stronger team. I think the logic is pretty obvious.
2) Start your #1 against the weaker team so you can give yourself the best possible chance to secure at least 2pts and then take any points against the better team as a bonus.
Personally, I think the Bs should follow option #1. They are one of the best teams in the league and shouldn't have to worry about picking spots. If they have cup aspirations they know they need to beat the best anyway. I can see weaker teams going with option #2 becuase they are typically underdogs and need to strategically figure out how to maximize their point totals.
Therefore, I vote they go with Khudo tonight and Rask tomorrow. That gives him 3 days off between starts. Then, after Saturday vs the Leafs, he has another 3 days off before the Habs game.
Looking at the schedule, I expect to see Rask in a lot of games throughout February. They actually don't have THAT busy of a schedule. They don't really start playing every other day until the last week of Feb.
