They said it

"I think we have two good goalies that we trust. When you have two guys that I feel very comfortable with and they're very confident and they've had good camps, why wouldn't you use that rested guy and then we'll keep making decisions as we go." -- Islanders coach Doug Weight on goaltenders Thomas Greiss and Jaroslav Halak
"I did get a little bit of a feel for it in a period and however long I played against L.A. Kind of got that little taste, a little bit of nerves out of the way." -- Sharks goaltender Aaron Dell, who stopped nine shots in relief of Martin Jones in a 4-1 loss to the Los Angeles Kings on Oct. 7 and will make his first start this season.
