This Tweet from the Free Press’s Helene St. James breaks down the Red Wings’ goaltending rotation for the team’s 4 exhibition games:
Re: Red Wings' 4 exhibition games. McLellan said plan is for John Gibson and Daniil Tarasov each to play one full game and two periods. Expect Tarasov 2Ps Monday at CBJ, Gibson 2Ps Tuesday at Pittsburgh. Leaves 1p each for Augustine & Postava.

That’s what cutting the exhibition season in half does to you…it cuts down prospects’ ability to make an impact.
