Starting Goalies - Friday, February 3, 2012

[Patrick]

I'm excited to see Jonathan Quick and Jaroslav Halak battle it out tonight. Just look at the SV% charts on their player profile pages. Will the Kings or Blues even score any goals? Maybe the game will never end.

We've added two new tools during the All-Star break:

1. Goalie Profiles: e.g. Henrik Lundqvist

2. Goalie Start Index: a nightly rating system to help you choose which goalies to start.

Pick today's winner in our daily poll.

We've got tomorrow's starting goalies for you as well.

Post your comments, questions, and confirmations about today's goalies in this thread.

Quick was the first goalie off the ice this morning so he is the likely starter.

Hey, I'm really enjoying the GSI tool. I'm with you, Patrick, about the LA/STL game, so why are the GSI values for Quick/Halak so (relatively) low?

so why are the GSI values for Quick/Halak so (relatively) low?

Because they are playing each other. If Quick was going against Mason and the Blue Jackets, his GSI would be much higher.
