THE GOALIE EDGE - 10/9/2013 Two unbeaten teams clash today as the Colorado Avalanche head into Boston to take on the Bruins. Tuukka Rask should get the start against J-S Giguere who will be making his first start of the young season.  Look for the Big, Bad Bruins to continue unbeaten...The Sabres get Miller back in net and look for their first win of the season against last season's Vezina winner Sergei Bobrovsky and the Columbus Blue Jackets.  This is definitely a picture of two teams heading in opposite directions.  Go with Bob-a-loo & the Jackets....Anton Khudobin gets his second start with starter Cam Ward sitting this one out. Khudobin could be in for a rough night as the Caps are coming off a tough 2-1 road loss to the Dallas Stars.  Braden Holtby needs a good performance to calm the skeptics....Jimmy Howard plays at home against a road-struggling Phoenix Coyotes and Mike Smith.  Go with the homey....it's the Battle of Florida will Jacob Markstrom getting his first start with Tim Thomas nursing a groin injury.  Ben Bishop has been playing well and the Bolts are a tough opponent to get your feet wet with.  Bishop & the Bolts!...Another matchup with a backup taking over for an injured starter as Josh Harding gets the nod against Ondrej Pavelec of the Jets. Minnesota needs, I mean NEEDS, this win...Reimer, Rinne.  Make sure you pick the right pronunciation. No rhyme or reason to not pick Rinne.  Rinne please....The Habs go with Peter Budaj who proved to be more than a capable backup last season.  Devan Dubnyk needs to save his starting job with a good game as goalie rumors are starting to pop up in Edmonton.  Both teams need this win.  Too tough to call...San Jose at Vancouver with both teams starting off well.  Another "too close to call" game....I'm thinking that the New York Rangers & Henrik Lundqvist are embarrassed after the drubbing they took from the San Jose Sharks. Usually that translates into a better performance the next game out.  However, the Anaheim Ducks are playing their home opener and Jonas Hiller is getting the call.  With all that going on, I'll go with the Rangers and Lundqvist in a shootout victory.  Why not?
