Small preview-ish

Tampa Bay at New Jersey

The Devils need to stop losing and Tampa looks to extend its winning ways. This should be a good game.

Minnesota at Washington

Washington dropped one they want back to Montreal. Minnesota have lost two in a row. If Minnesota comes out hot, they have opportunity to get goals early because Washington has been giving them up early.

Boston at Carolina
This might be the Trade-Staal game. A loss here and the Canes might just send Staal out for whatever they can get. A win, especially if Eric gets in on it, might hold the trade. Really though, the Canes play St Louis Sunday…so they have a couple of games before they go pulling the trigger. If things go according to current patterns, Boston loses and Canes win, both are on win one, lose one patterns that happen to mesh well for each other.

Edmonton at Anaheim

Buffalo at San Jose
Rookie see, rookie score. These two games are the situation - must wins against the up-and-coming young stars of the league. I enjoy watching all of these teams (least of all San Jose, but of late I like their style)
