New York Rangers - Washington Capitals
The Rangers exploded against the Flyers a couple of nights back, but I think it was more due to the Flyers having an off game. The Capitals are the best team in the division right now, I'd say. I think they will win here. Washington wins!
Vancouver Canucks - Montreal Canadiens
The Nucks have struggled against the Habs, but most of the games were early in the season, and then they struggled overall. They have played really well lately, and I'll give them the edge here. Vancouver wins!
Calgary Flames - Toronto Maple Leafs
The Leafs have had problems lately, losing five of their last six games. The Flames ran into a wall against the Oilers, but other than that, they have looked really good under Sutter's rule. Toronto is more rested, and they have Simmonds back. I feel this one could go either way, but I think the Leafs will have to get their act together now, and since they've had a break to work things out, I think they will. Toronto wins!
St Louis Blues - San Jose Sharks
The Sharks have looked sharp lately, and gave Vegas some good fights in the last few games. The Blues should be the better team, but they've struggled lately. I feel this will be an even game that could go either way, but I think form will decide. San Jose wins!
Vegas Golden Knights - Los Angeles Kings
Vegas have won both meetings so far. They've also won 20 out of their 27 games in regulation time. It will take a lot for me to bet against them. Vegas wins!
In summary, my winners are:
Washington Capitals
Vancouver Canucks
Toronto Maple Leafs
San Jose Sharks
Vegas Golden Knights
