Ott--Lalime sez Ottawa Sun.
NYI--Osgood sez Ottawa Sun. Ottawa "hex" has caused NYI to lose last 13 meetings with Ott in NY. and NYI are 0-11-1 last 12 games they played after having one with rival Rangers.
TB--Khabib, it must be...
Buffalo--Biron, it should be. They are trying to "build his confidence". Team ice time leader Zhitink out for a few weeks sez article here..............http://www.buffalonews.com/editorial/20021127/1035645.asp
Vancouver---Cloutier, has to be. He and team in a groove now, could set new record tonight for consecutive franchise wins.
Carolina---Weekes? Coach said could start Irbe, due to his recent good start.
Calgary---McLennan? so speculates WA papers. Turek got pulled last night, but backup was no better.
Washington--Kolzig WA paper lists as probable.
Edmonton--Salo, it has to be. He's 4-2 vs Columbus, 2-1 on road against them, and he's in one of his grooves, 4-1-1 last six games with 1.33 gga.
Columbus--Denis, it must be. Labbe just got a rare start.
Phila---Chechmanek I expect. He got pulled in last and is always very sharp after that. Away team is 0-6-1 last 7 meetings (back to feb 2001).
Pittsburg--Aubin sez this article....http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/tribune-review/sports/penguinslive/s_104679.html
Pitt power play league best, and especially fine of late (47.6 last five games!). Phila PK has been struggling.
NJ---Brodeur, it has to be..... All six of Devils road games have gone under.
Detroit---Joseph, I expect.....And team is tired, this from paper "Coach Dave Lewis said the energy level was low Tuesday [practice]. After ending a nine-night trip with back-to-back games at Vancouver and Edmonton, they flew home Sunday and played Monday. They've followed a five-game winning streak with an 0-1-1-1 slide.
The grind goes on: Starting tonight against New Jersey, the Wings have seven games -- three on the road -- in 12 days. "
SJ--Nabakov I expect. Article here sez he's really improved with new goalie coach.....http://www.bayarea.com/mld/bayarea/sports/hockey/nhl/san_jose_sharks/4616274.htm
Nashville---Dunham? He got pulled in last start and usually very tough in next. I'm taking the under.
MN--Roloson is my guess, but who knows? Manny Fernandez has a 1.63 goals-against average over his last three games, and Dwayne Roloson has a 1.62 GAA in his last three.
Dallas--Turco I expect. He's 2-3 vs MN, 0-2 at home.
STL--Braithwaite, claims STL paper.
Colo--Roy I expect. Colo is 4-1 vs STL this and last season.
FL---Luongo is my guess. FL over is 5-0 last 5, and 3-1 last four times these teams met. FL has gone into OT five of last 8 games, and last four in a row.
LA--Potvin in my guess.
Phoenix---Giguere, it should be. Away team is 8-1-1 last 10 meetings (back to 11/00). Phx PK a rotten 66.7% last five games.
Anaheim---Gerber sez LA Times
