Kari Lehtonen has shown he can be a decent goalie in tandem situation. Wouldn't be surprised if he gets brought in if Rittich or Gillies falter. Or maybe Steve Mason. Given last season, you gotta think Treliving has a plan for the contingency of weak goaltending.

Four.
That's an extremely quick reaction so early in the season.

Did you miss the last couple months of last season?

The first three are at the stage of their careers where they're below average goaltenders, and this is probably Rinne's last season as the starter in Nashville.
