But I'm also very impressed with Troy Ward in basically every other respect. And starting goalies are getting easier to come by these days.

Brust before last night had the same number of starts as Irving. If Irving starts tonight, which I think he will, they will be even in starts again.
I think Ward is very comfortable with all of his goaltenders.
