Koskinen is truly a mystery to me. The guy has been good the whole preseason, he was good in the 2 games he played in, then he puts up a stinker last night. He can't blame it on being overplayed and tired because he'd only started 2 games before that one and had 5 days between starts. Even got a few days off before he practiced. He likes to practice which he got some full practices in. They guys is just baffling at times.
I don't expect elite level goaltending from the guy but in my opinion, he's capable of at least league average goaltending which would have been more than enough last night.

Easy to understand. he's just a bit rusty. A guy like that needs regular minutes so he's in the flow of things. Of course, you can't overplay him, because he wears down, so you need to limit his total minutes played, otherwise you'll see a drop off. Fairly simply sutff.

He's played 3 games in 3 weeks with a 5 day break in between game 2 and 3. Before his first start, he played 1 period in 2 weeks. I don't know how you limit his minutes much more.
Slightly off topic for the minutes. I wonder if having Smith on the team, the fact that Smith plays the puck so well and the fact Tippett really likes that, make it so Koskinen feels compelled to play the puck more than he normally would. The second goal is all on him and he had an adventure or 2 each of the previous starts. Smith is a unicorn in a goalie being able to handle the puck like he can so I don't think Koskinen should be thinking he needs to.
