Leaving the ice first at an optional does not mean Lindback will start, hopefully head coach Jon Cooper will announce his starter after the skate. Linback allowed two goals on 15 shots in a relief effort on Sunday. He has not started since November 11 when he gave up two goals on 25 shots in a loss to the Bruins. Lindback is 1-4-0 with a 3.16 GAA and .875 SV% this season.
