Goalie tandem in Toronto
By Victoria Matiash
UPDATE: According to TSN's Jonas Siegel, Ben Scrivens looks to be the starter in Saturday's tilt with the Montreal Canadiens.

Don't expect goalie James Reimer to hog all the starts in Hogtown this season.
James Mirtle of the Globe and Mail suggests the Toronto Maple Leafs have an eye to splitting starts fairly evenly between Reimer and 'backup' Ben Scrivens.
"... I also have a sneaking suspicion Scrivens will start Saturday, with Reimer getting home opener on Monday. Could be true tandem this year ..."
Mirtle's suspicions (sneaking, or otherwise) are worth noting. He follows the Leafs very closely.
