What to do? I’m glad I am not the coach.

I like Rittich against Edmonton. They always come to play against Calgary, so I think we need a goalie that can stop the scoring chances that they're able to muster. Most importantly, the goalie that can make a big save after 10 minutes of standing around.
Nashville is tough... as you want your better goalie, but Smith's last game against Nashville was his best year. And hell, who
is the better goalie in December?
Tonight could be the lighter of the 3, but you could also look at the re-match on the 15th... and we play STL the night after that. So... Smith against STL means Rittich against MIN... and giving him familiarity with the team = Rittich tonight?
Duo's are tough!
