Imyourhuckleberry Verified Member Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago In the other thread, there was some discussion about how many starts Gus might get vs. Wallstedt and I just found the goalie coach had commented on that subject in a newer Athletic story, so this seems like a good place to put it. Quote Chabot said there’s no set plan of how many starts each goalie will get. Gustavsson, who appeared in a career-high 58 games last season, could get around the same number. But with the condensed schedule, Gustavsson will need his rest and Wallstedt could play “a minimum 24-25 and hopefully 30,” Chabot said. I was guessing somewhere in the 24-34 range, depending upon how Gustavsson is feeling throughout the year. The 34 high end for me isn't a slight on Gus. I was thinking that if Wallstedt is playing well, and Gus has some muscle or joint discomfort arise from opponents crashing into him in goal, maybe Wallstedt gets a few more starts than they might have anticipated at the beginning of the year.
