There are no meaningless games. Home ice is still up for grabs, particularly for potential round 2 match-ups. Going into the playoffs with confidence is important as well.
By all means, start Vladar more though. He is a good goalie and should get some games in case he is needed in the playoffs. Markstrom is fantastic of course, but it's not a throw away by putting Vladar in. He gives the team a chance to win pretty much every time he plays.
