Two very bad unforced defensive errors led to goals against Columbus, otherwise it would have been a comfortable win. Previously they've had the offensive momentum to keep going but in that particular game only had the one line going.
Plenty of room for changes on the other lines and plenty of guys with room to improve. It will reflect badly on those players if they start disappearing now and expect the first line to carry them.
I think it'll be okay.
As for the goalies, I think at this point they're evaluating style and history against the opponent more than rewarding the winning goalie or switching the losing one.
