After some thought I think it's a win-win in terms of goalie management with starting Berra against Montreal tomorrow.

Berra needs to get a regulation win to get that monkey off his back and to give him confidence at finishing out games. If that doesn't work out, Berra gets pulled and Ortio is given a no-pressure chance to salvage the game after watching the NHL game up close for a period or two, maybe checking out some of the Montreal shooters. If the Flames still don't win it's not on Ortio and his confidence doesn't get completely crapped on.

Plus aren't we undefeated when we use both goalies in a game still?
