New York Rangers - Boston Bruins
The Bruins look brutal right now. Even though the Rangers have been good lately, I can't go for them right now. Boston wins!
Pittsburgh Penguins - Buffalo Sabres
The Sabres suck right now and Eichel is out at that. No debate. Pittsburgh wins!
New Jersey Devils - New York Islanders
The Islanders have been great lately, and the Devils less so. Easy pick. New York Islanders wins!
Washington Capitals - Philadephia Flyers
A real heavy weight-game! They have won one each in the previous meetings, and this one could go either way too. If I have to pick one, then I will change my mind a hundred times, and then finally say... Washington wins!
Nashville Predators - Carolina Hurricanes
The Canes have won all the previous meetings and they are a far better team this season. Nuff said. Carolina wins!
Florida Panthers - Columbus Blue Jackets
Laine has been ice cold for the Jackets lately. They need him to score. The Panthers are great this season, and I have to go with them. Florida wins!
Winnipeg Jets - Toronto Maple Leafs
The Jets managed to win last night. Now they face the Leafs again, and I expect that Toronto will get their revenge. It could go either way, but the Leafs are the better team overall. Toronto wins!
Tampa Bay Lightning - Detroit Red Wings
It was far too close last time, even though the Bolts managed to get the win at last. I don't expect that to happen again though. Tampa Bay wins.
Chicago Blackhawks - Dallas Stars
The Stars really shocked the Blackhawks the other day! They looked so good, I have to give them this one. Dallas wins!
Montreal Canadiens - Calgary Flames
This is a tough one. Both teams are hard to pin down. And it's a very, very important game for both teams. It's probably these two that will fight for the last playoff spot toward the end of the season. Both have recently changed their coaches, and I think that the Flames did more of an upgrade than the Habs did. It's really hard to call, but I will go with the Flames here. Calgary wins!
In summary, my winners are:
Boston Bruins
Pittsburgh Penguins
New York Islanders
Washington Capitals
Carolina Hurricanes
Florida Panthers
Toronto Maple Leafs
Tampa Bay Lightning
Dallas Stars
Calgary Flames
