I didn't like the 2nd and 3rd goals on Vladar at all. It seemed like he was sleeping on both. He also made some puzzling choices coming out of his net and nearly causing another goal as well. Last night isn't on him, but he's not doing anything to help this team in the vast majority of his starts.
For me, there's no reason to keep playing Vladar over Wolf during this run when only 2/8 starts would be deemed a quality start this year. An .877SV% at this point is abysmal for a rookie let alone a veteran - even more so if you're giving him minutes ahead of possibly the best goalie prospect in NA right now. If I'm Huska, I'm going with Wolf in the next 2 games and re-evaluating the back to back based on that. If anything, a short run with Wolf knowing he has several starts coming will say a lot about where he's at.
