Player to Watch

Goaltending will be an obvious focal point for fans and media alike, as Ondrej Pavelec is back between the pipes about 19 hours after last night's game finished. Pav, like most all other goalies, has struggled with big let downs in the second night of back to back games. Despite this, the coaching staff will be going with Pavelec and they actually made a plan for this to happen.

Pavelec isn't damned to repeat history, but the history is what it is for a reason. No matter the outcome, the decision to start Ondrej is something that should be discussed and scrutinized. It's a puzzling one.
