General strategy when your two goalies are playing eachother

[Ainsy01]

Title pretty much sums it up. I have Hellebuyck playing Oettinger. I am in the finals so the pressure is on.

Which option would you pick:

1. Play them both, hope its low scoring, get a guaranteed W and hope the SV% doesn't take a big hit.
2. Pick who you think will win - Hellebuyck - and sit Oettinger
3. Pick who you think will win - Oettinger - and sit Hellebuyck

In the regular season I've always played them both and hoped for a low scoring game.

Do you have a minimum of games for goalies?

There’s always the option of not starting either of them if that is already met.

 

[featherhawk]

depends on so many factors, are you winning the Goalie cats already? Does your opponent have any G's starting, have either of you met the minimum starts for the week...

With two studs like that in net I would be apt to start them both but it depends on the above factors.

We have a 2 game minimum - its a 16 man keeper - Hellybuck was my keeper and i traded a first for Otter.

I have 2 wins and a 9.28 versus 1 win and a .938 - he has Vasy Andersen and Demko. its a week and a half long matchup so most years we see guys with 5,6,7 wins by the end of it,
