Tonight's starting goalies - Oct 20, 2008

With thanks to the Goalie Post.

Pittsburgh Penguins @ Boston Bruins
Fleury is the probable, but Sabourin is still in the picture. Tim Thomas is likely for the Bruins. The Boston goaltending situation could get messy in a hurry, Fernandez was solid on the weekend and super prospect Tuukka Rask is lying in the weeds. If you are relying on Thomas, it might be wise to seek other options.

Dallas Stars @ NY Rangers
Looks like Turco against Lundqvist in the Big Apple tonight. Turco has struggled to start the season which is a stark contrast to Lundqvist and the Blueshirts. This is the type of game where you sit Marty to be safe only to watch him post a shutout.

Florida Panthers @ Montreal Canadiens
Vokoun gets the nod, he has owned the Habs over the last couple of seasons. But the Habs and Jaro Halak have made some strides to rid themselves of the Florida curse over the last couple of meetings. If you have Vokoun, it is not a bad gamble...but not one I would make.

Colorado Avalanche @ LA Kings
Looks like Budaj against Labarbera on the island of forgotten goalies. If you own one of these two goalies, you are in for a looooooong year.
