Cam Talbot just got a shutout, why isn’t he starting against Chicago?

On Thursday night in Anaheim, Cam Talbot made 44 saves to earn the Calgary Flames a shutout victory over the Ducks. On Saturday morning, David Rittich was in the starter’s net for morning skate against Chicago.

We were curious about the decision-making process when it came to choosing a starting goalie, so we asked interim head coach Geoff Ward.

On the road trip, Ward praised his goaltenders and the depth at the position. At this time of year, is it important to keep both guys active and engaged to keep them sharp?

That’s a critical thing for us.
