I also don't buy the logic that you need to see what you have in Smith. That is as true, and even more so for Rittich.
But Peters has shown he sure knows what he's doing.

Both goalies need to play. You will need Smith down the stretch so it's a good idea to give him a game otherwise he is likely going more than a month without any action. You have to keep both guys fresh.
