Lundqvist or Valiquette Tonight?

The Islanders aren't the only ones who have a goaltending decision to make tonight. With this being the Rangers third game in four nights and Steve Valiquette proving he is more than a capable back-up there's been speculation that Valiquette might get the start against his former employer the New York Islanders.

However after reading today's Newsday and Ranger Report it seems more and more likely that Lundqvist will be getting the nod tonight. Especially with the schedule lightening up a bit (the next game isn't until Thursday at MSG against Atlanta) and Valiquette a strong candidate to start Saturday night in Toronto against a Maple Leafs team he owned, similar to the Flyers, last year.

...my gut says Lundqvist tonight and Thursday and Valiquette Saturday.
