Well that’s a curve ball. I don’t get why Knight wouldn’t play.
Curious on where Driedger’s injury stands. Doesn’t seem like he will be back during the regular season.
I like that and all but this game matters a pretty good amount for the playoffs. I guess there isn’t a great time when we don’t have any truly meaningless games this year.It’s to reward the guy: his development was screwed and he hasn’t played all year; this might be his last chance in the NHL.
things like this impress players and make them more willing to play here
He turns 26 in August, so there's still time for a career like Judge'sIt’s to reward the guy: his development was screwed and he hasn’t played all year; this might be his last chance in the NHL.

Still two more games after this. It just might happen.Why not just roll out all the taxi guys then lol
Against a desperate Dallas team with plenty to play for?Still two more games after this. It just might happen.
GR was mistaken. Knight starts, Desrosiers backup
Q usually gives a goalie a game as backup before starting. I think it will be contingent on positioning (are we out?). I wouldn't be surprised if Desrosier plays against Tampa if seeding doesn't matter. (Which is a good chance if we lose against Dallas or if Tampa sweeps Dallas)
(I should add that they would have to sweep Dallas with both being regulation wins)Next game won't matter if and only if we lose tonight AND Tampa sweeps Dallas.
Sure: but also last game of season. We essentially need to win out to be the 2 seed. There's also the case where we lose against Tampa game 1, which will end out chance most likely. Played Desrosier thenNext game won't matter if and only if we lose tonight AND Tampa sweeps Dallas.
Playoffs don't start for a while I believe. Do you know when? I guess it makes sense to give Bob one of the last two starts since it might be a long time in between the regular season and start of playoffs.See this: x - Jameson Olive on Twitter: "Coach Q says Driedger should get in one of the final two games vs. Tampa Bay." / Twitter
I'm guessing we could see Knight/Bob/CD all start the next three games with different permutations of backups (Desrosiers/Monty/Knight?)
