The starter will probably be Konstantin Barulin (might have spelt that incorrectly), a St. Louis Blues draft pick who was outstanding in front of that awful team Russia sent over recently for those exhibition games. While he's not a big name like Fleury, Toivonen, or Schwarz, he can definitely get the job done.
