Back to back games.
Smith has owned Arizona
Rittich gets Vegas.

Fair enough but Vegas is arguably the bigger game. Does Smith owning Arizona carry the day, or were there other factors in playing Rittich first?
In any case, I am happy to see a goalie get the start after a sub par game. Because unless Peters goes with a win and you're in philosophy for the playoffs, this is going to have to happen.
Has a team ever gone all the way rotating their goalies in and out? With respect to Flames history, I think they somewhat did that in 1980 with Riggin and Lemelin, making it to the semis. Probably a rather analogous goaltending situation.
