From what I can tell, there's no real reason to rest your goalie outside of wanting to play the game in a more real manner, and get some starts for your backup.

I've never noticed any real affect from being overplayed, or playing back-to-back games, so unless you want to play a more real game, I'd say you're fine not switching.

Me personally, i always liked to pretend there was a reason to. If there were back-to-back games against a weaker team, and then a strong team, i would start the backup the night before, and throw in the starter the next next.

Stamina and players getting tired would be nice, but then again, a lot of things would be nice to have in the series.
