Do we know who's actually starting yet?

Wondering out loud, but what if Peters stuck with his schedule regardless of how well you did your job last game? Instead of changing around his plans if you got a shutout, it was viewed as 'great work with the time you had in net'.

It feels like I've seen stinkers as often as I've seen incredible games following a shutout (from goalies in general, not just Smith), so I wonder how much 'riding the hot hand' really matters. If he got a shutout, he's likely playing well, and a scheduled night off might be the best way to maintain that rather than adjust the planned schedule (if there was one) to get you back in net.
