Only two games on the slate for New Year's Day, the Winter Classic at Foxboro between the Canadiens and the Bruins and then the late game, the Canucks hosting the Ducks indoors.
Our starting goalies today for the outdoor game will be Tuukka Rask (Dale C.) getting the call for the Bruins, going up against Mike Condon (John R.) for the Canadiens. These were our expected starters all week and with some time off between each team's last game, it should come as no surprise that they go with their best (available) in this contest.
In the late game tonight, although it hasn't been confirmed, it is expected that the Canucks will go with Jacob Markstrom (Wes) in net, playing host, and the Ducks, on the second half of back-to-back nights, will go with Frederik Andersen (Benson). John Gibson (Clayton) is working on back-to-back shutouts this week, which would make for the argument to start him tonight, but that does seem somewhat unlikely on this Pacific Division trip.
Nothing else on the go today, we'll be back at it with a full slate of games on Saturday, including some afternoon offerings, so the announcements will come early again and we'll see what John P. has to do to qualify for next week in the survivor pool.
