Against Minnesota, the leagues #3 offense, the Flames allowed the Wild just 1 goal and have allowed just 4 in their last two meetings. 3. This was a team going into Excel Energy center against the Wild who just had their toughness questioned and they took the soul out of this team within minutes after scoring a PP goal on the back of aggressive play in front of Talbot. 4. GN Brad Treliving deserves so much credit for not only what he’s built there, but going out and getting Tyler Toffoli early who brings Cup experience and has been a point a game player in his seven games with the team. 5. The Flames play a heavy defensive game with a top line who is extremely responsible with the puck.

Following Monday's practice, the Predators provided a number of player status updates regarding their roster: Ryan Johansen, Mikael Granlund, Nick Cousins, Philip Tomasino, Mark Borowiecki and Ben Harpur have been added to the active roster; Mathieu Olivier, Michael McCarron and Matt Luff were added to the taxi squad; while Roman Josi, Colton Sissons and Tommy Novak were placed on the NHL's COVID-19 protocol list. Additionally, Preds Head Coach John Hynes - as well as assistants Todd Richards, Dan Lambert and Dan Hinote, plus Goaltending Coach Ben Vanderklok - were all back at Monday's practice after returning from the COVID list. In addition, the Capitals have a number of players on the Covod list. If we've learned anything from the first night of games, there will be a lot of scoring. Defense was non-existent. Let's see if that trend continues tonight.

The Jets are trying to recover from the surprise resignation of head coach Paul Maurice last week. The team was underperforming, and Maurice had the mental acuity to realize that maybe the room had been lost and it was time to move on. He was the second longest tenured coach in the league behind Ray Cooper of the Lightning. Winnipeg may be missing Blake Wheeler tonight as well, as he is day to day with a lower body injury, but day to day seems generous considering that he’s going to be out several weeks after getting injured against the Canucks last Friday. The Jets have only won four of their last 14 games, and have fallen out of the playoff picture for now in a very competitive Central Division.

We know that Laurant Brossoit will get the start for Vegas, his first in a week. Last time out he gave up four goals on just 25 shots against the Flyers, in a 4-3 loss. I didn’t think Vegas played well in front of him at times, we saw Dadonov lose sight of Kevin Hayes in a 4 on 4 situation, which resulted in the Flyer's first goal. He does have a tendency to lose track of the puck at times but at the same time Vegas has to do a better job of clearing out space for him but there are times where we’ve seen him get beat on shots that he should have. I think he’s a decent enough 5 on 5 GT but it’s on the PK where I worry about Brossoit. I think this is a chance for Vegas to be real aggressive early because the Rangers have not come out strong of late all though they seemed to find their pace in their recent games against Colorado and Arizona.

This is a Devils team that’s well below .500 and had lost four straight, they still easily controlled the Flyers.

The Stars’ special teams are a mixed bag, but their power play and penalty kill are better than the Coyotes. The Stars have the fourth-best power play, which means the Coyotes will want to stay disciplined and not take too many stupid penalties. Dallas’ penalty kill is much weaker and is currently ranked 20th in the NHL. But despite the low ranking, the Stars haven’t given up a power play goal since before the last Coyotes’ game, giving up a power play goal to the St. Louis Blues on November 20th. Dallas’ weaker penalty kill may be partially explained by the Stars is one of the least penalized teams in the league.

With last season’s temporary realignment, these teams saw a lot of each other last year. The Predators absolutely dominated Chicago, winning seven of eight meetings.

The total went Under six times. Nashville can’t seem to gain much momentum in one direction or the other, as they sit 3-3 at home and 3-2 on the road.

Add that to the fact that the Panthers are playing extremely well in front of both of their netminders through seven games.

He shifted almost everyone around to see if they would have better offensive chemistry. He took his top line of Zacha, Hischier, and Jesper Bratt, who has been on the ice for just one 5 on 5 goals this season and dispersed them among the top three lines. We have seen him do this before and it seems that line shakeups have worked so far for the Devils.

The New Jersey Devils have been doing well in the early stages of this season and one of the reasons is the play of center Jack Hughes.

Hughes leads the team in points and goals with three points (two goals, one assist) this season. In the last game against the Seattle Kraken, he finished with an assist on one shot attempt in just 7:42 on the ice.

For Dallas this is the first time we’ll see the new faces and I suspect it will take them a few games to gel.

While the offense led the way in the recent game, the defense has been incredible the entire playoffs and the series has been no exception. Victor Hedman, Mikhail Sergachev, and Ryan McDonough have been eliminating Canadiens forwards in the neutral zone and making it incredibly difficult to establish an offensive zone presence. Likewise, the entire defensive unit is forcing the Canadiens to shoot along the boards and take difficult shots on the net. In addition, the Lightning goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy is in his own class with the performances he's putting together, allowing only 1.9 goals per game and saving .938 percent of shots in the playoffs.
