Goalie Starters 01/06/2010

Here are your expected starting goalies for tonight, January 6, 2010:

• A couple of teams coming off back-to-back nights.  Marty Turco and Niklas Backstrom should be in nets considering their backups played last night.  I told think the situation is as cut and dry in Calgary or Toronto, so I will keep you posted on those decisions.  In addition, the Rangers, Blues and Flyers play the first of back-to-back games, so it will be interesting to see who they choose to start on which nights. (H/T to Joe English for the Turco decision)
• Michael Leighton confirmed by The Official Twitter Page of the Philadelphia Flyers.
