This is dead on. Boudreau likes playing the hot hand, and if the goalies are both hot he will rotate them game to game. He definitely did this in Washington with Theodore/Valry and Varly/Neuvi. If tonight isn't the start of a string of back to back starts, it is only a matter of a few more sub-par games from Hiller for it to happen.
I picked up Fasth last week in my ESPN league and grabbed him this morning for my Yahoo league. So far so good, and with my other two goalies in my ESPN league being Brodeur and Ward, it is nice to be able to bench Ward for a bit while he tries to pull it together.
