New York Rangers - Pittsburgh Penguins
The Penguins Schooled the Rangers in the last meeting. I have to go with them. Pittsburgh wins!
Boston Bruins - New York Islanders
The Bruins have struggled against the Islanders, but they've looked really good in their last games. I could see this game go either way, but if I have to pick one - Boston wins!
Buffalo Sabres - Philadelphia Flyers
Haha, yeah. Philadelphia wins!
New Jersey Devils - Washington Capitals
Washington have won all three meetings, and I don't expect this one to end differently. The Devils are on a weak spell, and the Caps on a strong one. Washington wins!
Nashville Predators - Carolina Hurricanes
While the Predators have looked better and better lately, the Canes i s just a better team, hands down. Carolina wins!
Florida Panthers - Columbus Blue Jackets
The Panthers are just better. Florida wins!
Winnipeg Jets - Toronto Maple Leafs
This one could go either way. The Leafs are just amazing, but the Jets have looked really good too this season. And Toronto have lost a couple of games against Vancouver lately. But still, I think they are the favourites here. Toronto wins!
Tampa Bay Lightning - Detroit Red Wings
While the Red Wings pull out a win here and there, well, no. Tampa Bay wins!
Chicago Blackhawks - Dallas Stars
The Blackhawks have won both meetings. The Stars have a lot to prove. This is a key game for them though, so I expect them to give it everything. I expect an even game, but I have to make Dallas the underdog. Chicago wins!
In summary, my winners are:
Pittsburgh Penguins
Boston Bruins
Philadelphia Flyers
Washington Capitals
Carolina Hurricanes
Florida Panthers
Toronto Maple Leafs
Tampa Bay Lightning
Chicago Blackhawks
