I am passing on the NHL today but here is what I gleaned looking at the local papers and matchups for tonight's games. Good luck.
-Nick
-Sens missed payroll but have 10 days to make it under the CBA. Dafoe and Prusek will likely start tonight. Thrashers are 2-1 since firing Fraser.
-Drama on both sides of the Blues-Blackhawks game as Mirinov now wants to come back and Pronger is looking at possibly retirement if he can?t find a specialist to fix his wrist.
-Khabibulin has a 14-1-2 record in his career against Calgary. Flames are 1-0-1 with Sutter as coach.
-Wild won a come from behind thriller last time they faced the Oilers, which ended a franchise long winless streak against Edmonton. Wild have won 2 straight and are unbeaten in their last 3.
-Roy left yesterday?s game at Nashville with flulike symptoms but more likely a sore pussy. Roy is known for being a stat fiend so with his team up 4-1 after 1 period and with Florida coming up tonight, he surely was figuring on getting some extra rest to try to add another win to his record the easy way.
-Flyers and Kings are both getting killed with injuries right now, which could lead to a high scoring game as the defensive organization may be lacking. Potvin has also been struggling and he will likely be benched starting tonight.
-Habs have scored just 6 goals in first four games of a winless road trip. Canucks have scored 22 in their last five (nice!) and let in 18 (not so nice!). Interesting juxtaposition on the total with those two tendencies.
-Stars have been awesome at home but their last road trip ended with just a 2-3-2 record. Sharks have been catching teams in bad spots but tonight Dallas should be up. In 16 days these two meet again in the same arena.
