Barry Trotz is a little ways from picking an opening night starter, but if last season is any indication, both Thomas Greiss and Semyon Varlamov can expect to get lots of work this season.
"We'll let it play out. The same premise as last year," Trotz said on Saturday. "It's becoming more common in the NHL and obviously we had a split down the middle, so we were leaders last year. But I think it's harder and harder for a true number one to play 70 games a year. We'll let it play out. We're going to play the guys that give us a chance to win every night. That's not a big concern for me right now. We'll let it play out a bit."
