Asked why he decided to go with Leclaire over Brian Elliott (neither netminder distinguished himself during the preseason), Clouston said it was because Leclaire is “supposed to be our go-to guy.
“We need to give him an opportunity to at least start Game 1,” he added. “I don’t think Brian outplayed him, so to speak. I think that Pascal is coming in with the right frame of mind, he put the time in over the summer and we need to give him an opportunity.”
