If you look back at the 1994-95 season there were 26 teams so 26 "starters."

If you look at the top 26 goalies in terms of games played you get a low number of games at 26, an average of 36 and a high of 43. There were eight "workhorse" goalies who played 40+ games, with 16 playing in 36+ games. So the majority of teams had "starters" play in at least 75% of the games and 10 teams with goalies playing in less than 75% of games.

Small sample size and you'd have to compare it to the normal splits but it would seem that the schedule didn't have a huge impact.

There is definitely potential for backups to take starts. If a backup is winning he'll steal the job because the team will need to win and because it's a short season the starter may never win the job back. On the flip side a workhorse may just take all the starts because if he's rolling then the team won't bother starting the backup if they need wins. I bet it all balances out but I will say that if you are worried about the abilities of your starter or his backup that you should complete the handcuff.

Workhorses have higher value, we might see some more backups on b2b games but for the most part few goalies went overseas, so a short season will benefit your ward, kipper, price like goalies teams with splits (currently van, was) will have a bigger split

Looks like 4 games per week per team over the 12 weeks - I am guessing back-ups on good teams or good back-ups are going to see 10 starts and maybe more. Be interesting to see the schedule for B2B's.
