How Should the Red Wings Divide the Starts in Goal with Ville Husso Healthy?

On Saturday morning, one day removed from a shutout victory in a conditioning start for the Grand Rapids Griffins, Ville Husso reported feeling "100%" after a five-week absence due to a lower body injury.  Meanwhile, Alex Lyon—who has assumed the vast majority of the goaltending duties in Husso's absence—is nearing the conclusion of a stellar month of January, with an 8-2-1 record, .926 save percentage, and a 2.51 goals against average.

From this dynamic a question begs, how should the Red Wings divvy up the starting duties in net moving forward?

On the most recent episode of The Silky Mitten State, my co-host Connor Earegood and I took on this question, considering what Lyon's strong form has earned him as the season progresses as well as the relative value of having two viable options in net instead of just one.
