He’s going to start until he gets that Empty Net goal.

It might have already been discussed but I feel like Grubi isn’t 100% but he is good enough to play if needed. Because of various reasons, he came back but they aren’t starting him to give him extra time to heal.
Or they just want to play Joey cause he is on fire!

I’ll take Joey any day over Gru, typically after injury goaltenders struggle for a while

It’s time for Joey Daccord to Goaltend.

Goalie rest is one of those topics fans love to get irrationally angry about. It’s an easy thing to blame losses on because it’s a very simple thing for fans of all levels of hockey expertise to form an opinion on and evaluate.
Let the coaches do their jobs in deciding who the best starter for the night is. They have a million times more context and information than we do. Maybe the decades old logic that goalies need every couple games off doesn’t apply as much as it used to. Maybe Gru is not 100%. Maybe Joey has told the team he feels he loses sharpness when he sits.

Joey played 26 straight in the playoffs. He’s fine. We have 10 days off. We need points. Getting our injured backup a game isn’t priority.
