    If Dan Bylsma has picked a starting goaltender for the U.S. Olympic hockey team, he's not sharing. Bylsma, the coach of Team USA, on Friday didn't specify whether he was leaning toward Ryan Miller or Jonathan Quick. He kept Jimmy Howard in the mix, too. MORE: | | "That's not a question I'm ready to answer to for right now," Bylsma said and for the record, he chuckled as he said it. "Whether I know it or not, you're not going to find out today." He added that he wasn't philosophically opposed to playing different goalies during the tournament, which starts on Feb. 12. Opening ceremonies are Feb. 7, and the NHL break begins on on Feb. 9. Miller was the star of the 2010 team, Jim Rutherford Jersey and has been outstanding for a terrible Sabres team after three uneven seasons. . He wasn't great in October, mi sed nearly two months with a groin injury and has come back to play, as Bylsma called it, "his best hockey" of the season. Coincidentally, Pittsburgh's last two games have been against the Sabres and Kings. Miller (.926 save percentage in 2013-14) stopped 31 of 33 shots. Quick was pulled after allowing three first-period goals, but he's still carrying a .925 save percentage since his return. "When I spoke to (Quick) after the game, he was hoping I didn't remember the game too closely," Bylsma said. Howard on Jan. 21 reinjured the same knee that forced him to sit for three weeks earlier this season. He was expected to mi s a week, and Bylsma said he'd return for the Detroit Red Wings "in the last little bit before we go over." Ben Chiarot Jersey
