WA at Boston..........................
Last 10 meetings all went under! 2 meetings this season, each winning on home ice.
WA 5-13-3 away. Boston 13-8 at home.
WA 4-2-2 last 10. Boston 6-4. But last Boston game, a tired loss to Leafs, was first home game after successful road trip with bad travel at end.
WA important defensman Witt looks like he will be out. Re-injured himself.
WA scoring more. Jagr has 5 goals and 11 points in last nine games.
NYR at Pittsburg.....................
Poor Pitt (boy, I'm listening to NJ/Phx game over 'net. Exciting 4-3 game now!) Pitt 8-1-1 last ten games. The win and tie were both against WA. Penguins seem to be just waiting for Lemieux's return.
Pitt 7-2-1 last ten vs NYR. Hedberg will start, he's played against NYR only once. It was this season, and with it he recorded his second of four shutouts.
Lindros claims he will play tonight.
NYR ending 7 game road swing at Pitt. A win will make it a winning trip. Won the first three with flukes and bad play. But played Colorado thurs real hard and well. Rested since then. Get three days rest after tonight's game.
Vancouver at Edmonton.................
Oilers 11-3-2 vs Vancouver last four seasons. 1-0-1 this season. They just got leading scorer Smyth back and real confident.
Cloutier is 0-3-1 in goal vs Oilers, 3.83 gga, .882 pct. Salo is 8-9-3 vs Van, 3.22, .878 pct.
Both goalies have given up 2 goals in each of last four games, except Salo gave up one in last.
Last 10 meetings, 7 were decided by one goal. One tie. Only 2 by two or more goals. Canbet line, Van +1.5 -174. Van playing better lately.
Devils at Carolina.............
NJ 4-2 over Canes in quarterfinals last April. Carolina had 2 one-goal wins, one at home, one away.
Barrasso just off his worst outing of season, got pulled for first time this season. He should then be quite concentrated tonight. (Sharks 5-3 now!! Dampenhousse hasn't scored in last 10 games!). sorry about that diversion.
Barrasso 11-11-2 vs NJ, 3.36 gga, .892 pct.
Brodeur 16-5-4 vs Carolina, 2.09 gga, .911 pct.
NJ's play in last game was publicly criticized by coach, and booed by crowd. They haven't had two losses in row in last 16 games. Canes just lost, and haven't had two in a row in last 13.
