I'm going to start by best guy in the 4 point game against the better opponent because IMO that's the better decision. I'm sure Darryl has his reasons and it probably has to do with giving Markstrom an extra day off before facing the Canucks.

Add to this, that the schedule is going to get very busy, need to manage both goalies with this in mind, Markstrom needs rest, and Vladar needs to get some quality starts too!
Here’s hoping Vladar can add to the confidence the team should have in him, so the team is confident regardless of the goalie used.
