Kipper / Osgood.

IMO, Calgary will lose tonight but Vancouver struggles to score goals.

If your scoring categories included S% and GAA I'd say Osgood and Kipper for SURE. Because even if Kiprusoff loses, it's probably a low scoring game. But since you only have the W and SO category to worry about I'd say Budaj and Osgood.

Reasoning: Luongo has been performing extremely well lately. He's won four of his last five games and in the game he lost, he got a shut out. Aside from that being extremely rare, it indicates that he's in mid-season form. That alone isn't why I'd go against picking Kiprusoff though. The Canucks seem to have really come together as a team lately, and are playing good hockey. Also, dispite their early struggles, the Canucks are 7-0-1 against NW rivals.

I'd give the edge to the Canucks to win tonight.

The other two goalies have a greater chance of winning. The Blue Jackets are getting better, but they're far outmatched by the Wings. The Wild just lost their best player for over a week. So now Demitra and M. Koivu are out - and Gaborik is not at 100%. In the game vs. the Canucks, their goaltending was horrid.

Kipper -> May lose. Rather even goalie matchup, give the edge to Luongo.
Osgood -> Very good chance of winning
Budaj -> Good chance of winning

Yikes - looks like it might be time for some word eating. Did not expect the wild to win that one, and the Detroit game was really close.
