Lehner needs a start. Better to rest Andy at the end of a long road trip against a WC team and start him for MTL, Carolina (maybe Lehner gets this one if he does well tonight), and NYR.
Lehner doesn't NEED a start. He hasn't done anything to earn this start, and unless Andy needs a rest, he certainly shouldn't be starting a game like this one that a lot of fans will be extremely disappointed if we can't win.
He can have the Carolina game if they really want him in a game before the break, but it's not like he's been sitting on the bench for weeks.

The game is tomorrow (Tuesday). Who knows what is going to happen in this one, or who is starting in goal, or who will be the 6 on the blueline, or what the line combinations will be. All we do know is that it probably won't be exactly as it was in the game in Arizona.
