3 Games tonight, and I'm taking the wildcards in 2.
St. Louis vs. Pittsburgh
Im picking Pittsburgh, because they're at home and have been playing exceptional hockey. Not a knock on St. Louis, who have been exceeding expectations this season. But with both teams rested, I think the Pens will win this won on home ice.
Atlanta vs. Montreal
Atlanta is HOT. Montreal? Well, they're not. There's a lot of pressure for Montreal as a team to win this game and snap a 6 game losing streak. If that pressure isn't enough, they're playing in their own barn- which is great when you're winning, but god awful when you're losing. Halak gets the start tonight, whom in my opinion will be the gamebreaker. Atlanta's got a hot offense, but Halak has been known to steal the odd game. If I'm a betting man (which I am), I'm taking ATL's offense to overpower the smurfs and get by Halak.
Columbus vs. Calgary
This is going to be a fantastic hockey game. If there is a game to stay up for this week- this has to be it. While Calgary is probably the better team, but they've been struggling recently. They are coming off of a big win at home, but it's too bad that Columbus is their opponent. Columbus is so good it hurts this year. I think they'll fly into the Saddle and steal this one. Look for Mason to be lights out, and our old friend Vermette to have a few points.
