Good goaltending and some young snipers have this team a threat at home and on the road ... 13-6-2 at the quarter pole and looking for more.

Mack Attack NHL Game of the Week is on the Washington Capitals The rematch of last year's Stanley Cup final is very different than the games we saw in June. VGK is just 1-2 out of the gate and very fortunate to not be 0-3. The Knights are not scoring and it's hard to imagine them hanging with an offensive juggernaut like the Caps who have scored 13 goals in two games and have had almost a week off. Fleury is questionable for this game and has not been sharp regardless. Given the eye test of the first week of the season, actually see some line value with the Caps who in my mind should at least be 75 cents. Take Washington.

Now everyone expects a regression and they are in for a big surprise as the Knights have made several excellent off season moves and are better than last year. VGK went 6-1 in the exhibition season and the wins were for the most part blowouts with a mix of vets and young kids. Philly was one of the few teams at to beat VGK at T-Mobil and will pay for that transgression here.

They've never lost four straight and the two times they've lost three straight were early in the year with a fourth string goaltender. Washington has clearly played better in the series but the Knights have been unlucky as well shooting the puck. The Knights have been resilient and have outworked the opposition their entire inaugural season. Tough spot but just can't see Knights laying down and allowing Caps to celebrate on Vegas home ice. Vegas 4-2.

Vegas couldn't have picked a worse time to throw in three clunkers in a row and are yet to play "their" game in this series. Bad penalties, costly mistakes, and a hungry Caps outfit has had VGK out of kilter and looking like they are skating in mud. Vegas must get scoring from their silent top line and Fleury must continue to stand on his head. Caps just .500 at home during the playoffs and ripe to be picked. VGK shows resilience one final time and gets win here to even the series and make it a best two-of-three. VGK 3-1.

The Knights are faster, work harder, and have the better goalie who will be much sharper in Game II as he showed in the Winnipeg series. The fourth VGK line got the final three VGK goals.

Fleury hasn't been as sharp as he was vs. the Kings and Sharks but should flick the switch in front of a rabid VGK following at T-Mobil and stone wall the Jets. A couple of opportunistic goals (special teams/takeaway) should get VGK over the hump. You know that under Gallant that VGK will outwork you for 60 minutes, it's their lifeblood and mindset.

In fact, at 32-7-2 they were the best in the NHL and their fan base rivals Vegas who they would move on to face in the Western Conference final. The Jets did all the heavy lifting in Game 5 which they won 6-2. Urgency with the home team who are not likely to win three times in Nashville. It's the Jets game to lose.

Fleury and Jones have both been razor sharp with the majority of the goals coming on special teams or rebounds. Very little has gotten through. Looking for VGK to come out flying, get the first goal, and make that lead hold up the rest of the way to win this series in six games.

VGK has basically been a slightly better than 50-50 club the last 3o days but they've battled minor injuries and made some trades at the deadline that took some time to get in sync. Both teams have goaltenders that can win you the Cup if they were to get hot for six weeks. VGK has their complete team back, all lines in tact, and have no excuse to not win what figures to be a low scoring, tight checking game here. The Kings tanked final game to ensure matchup with VGK.

DMack's NHL Ice Pick of the Month is on the San Jose Sharks San Jose is white hot and has a shot at running down Vegas to win the Pacific. The Sharks have won seven straight including an epic 2-1 home win over VGK that was played with 7th game of the Stanley Cup intensity. San Jose is also turning it up on the defensive end, allowing just four goals in its L3 games. The Blackhawks are 1-5 L6 and simply playing out the string. Wouldn't hesitate getting some puckline as well.

DMack's Saturday Night NHL Ice Pick is on the New York Islanders In a battle of two struggling teams, you pretty much have to hold you nose but we think we have a pretty good case for the Islanders here. The Blackhawks have mailed it in and can't stop anyone in allowing 5+ goals in 6 of their L7 games. One thing the islanders can do is score and they should be able to call their shot here. The Islanders also fit some unique and unimportant spots that include a 12-3 record on Saturdays. Islanders.

DMack's Free Play for Thursday, March 22, 2018 is on the Chicago Blackhawks These teams have split their L8 meetings with Vancouver having won the last three. The Canucks have lost seven straight including four straight on the road where they've scored exactly ONE goal. That's basically four hours of futility while you're getting your teeth kicked in. The Blackhawks will be out of the playoffs for the first time since 2008 and Coach Q is on the hotseat for a miserable season. The Hawks have lost four straight themselves and are 2-7 L9 BUT figure to find the back of the net more than their equally miserable opponent. Chicago 4-2.

After having the best record in the NHL at T-Mobil, VGK lost three straight after the trade deadline while the chemistry with a couple of deadline trade pickups was slow to kick in. Second game on the road in almost a month was a wire-to-wire win in New Jersey with a renewed sense of focus. The Knights beat Columbus easily 6-3 in Sin City (which I attended) and if that was any indication of of how this one goes, expect the same result. Jacket defense is loose to say the least.
