Halak continues to have a stranglehold on the Blues starting job, and for good reason. He is 3-0 with a 1.34 GAA, .948 SV% and one shutout. Tonight he will face a Rangers team who have been dominated in their last two games (outscored 15-2), so I think its safe to roll with Halak tonight.

Halak had a tough year with injuries and poor play in 2012-13. He went 6-5-1 with a 2.14 (the good) and a .899 SV% (the bad).

When he starts, he is usually a good option.
