Vladar was hot in the preseason. He deserves to get a start early in the season rather than sitting for a week or more.
Markstrom has historically been weak against the Oilers. It wasn't just in the playoffs last season. I have no idea what the reasons are for that or if it is just a fluke, but this is exactly why teams have 2 goalies. Some goalies just play better under certain conditions.
