One of the hottest lines in the NHL right now combined for 10 points in last night's 7-4 victory over the Ottawa Senators. Thomas Vanek (3A), David Desharnais (G, A) and Max Pacioretty (3G, 2A) exploded after the Habs were down 3-0. These three are must starts in all fantasy leagues. Even without two of their biggest stars in the lineup, the Chicago Blackhawks, behind the Duncan Keith's 3 assists, were able to overcome the pesky Blue Jackets last night. Keith's numbers are very worthy of a second Norris Trophy (6-54-60 +20, 193 SOG, 26 PIM). Cory Schneider came up with a huge victory for the New Jersey Devils last night against Washington in regulation. The Capitals are a team that the Devils are fighting for that last playoff seed in the Eastern Conference.  Schneider has turned his game around after a bit of a slump just after the Olympics.  Look for the Devils to ride Schneider until they lock up a playoff spot or are eliminated.  Start Schneider with extreme confidence. What's up with Jonas Hiller? Last night's performance (13/17 SV) was not a way to instill confidence in your coaching staff as you team heads into the playoffs.  I believed that reliever Frederik Andersen deserved the start, especially after three quality wins in a row, but Hiller got the starting nod. Expect Andersen to see the majority of starts from here on out. You almost have to wish that the Calgary Flames were in the playoff hunt the way they have been playing over the month with an 11-8-0 record. Michael Cammalleri has 22 points over his last 19 games, so get him in your lineup.

ALL GOALIES ARE CONFIRMED UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED AT THE TIME OF PRINT Peter Budaj will take on Craig Anderson and the Ottawa Senators while Carey Price will go up against Detroit tomorrow night. You never know which Anderson you are going to get this year while Budaj has given steady performances as the Montreal Canadiens backup.  The Habs are 8-2-0 in last 10 while the Sens are just 4-5-1. Go Habs.... The winner in tonight's showdown between the New Jersey Devils and the Washington Capitals will improve their shot at possibly making the playoffs with just a handful of games remaining after tonight. Caps goalie Jaroslav Halak has lost 4 in a row and has not looked like the goalie he was while in St. Louis. Cory Schneider, on the other hand, looks to be regaining the form he had prior to the Olympic break where he was stellar in net but not receiving goal support. Schneider has gotten the Devils 5 points in his last 5 starts, losing in 2 shootouts and an overtime game to Minnesota.  Both teams playing spirited hockey, but I'll give the edge to Schneider.... Buddy, I mean Matthew Hackett will be in net for the Buffalo Sabres as they continue their road trip with a stop in Detroit.  The Red Wings have picked up their game lately winning 3 in a row and 6 of their last 10 to put themselves in good position to make the playoffs for the 23rd consecutive year. Jimmy Howard will protect the net once again for the Red Wings and should stretch the streak to 4.... Roberto Luongo returns to the net for the Florida Panthers as they take on very pesky Calgary Flames team. Joey MacDonald gets the call as the Flames are playing the back end of two in a row. Ramo has started 7 in a row and with back-to-back nights, MacDonald gets the draw. The Cats have lost 4 in a row and are just 2-7-1 in last ten games, showing signs that their minds are elsewhere.  Stay warm with the Flames..... Thomas Greiss of the Phoenix Coyotes will look to stop his personal, and the team's, 3-game losing streak tonight against the Edmonton Oilers.  The Coyotes have slipped from the eighth playoff position during this losing streak while the Dallas Stars have gone on a run, winning 5 of their last 7.  The Oilers may prove the right elixir as they have lost 6 of last 7.  Look for Ben Scrivens (LIKELY) to get the call for Edmonton..... Columbus has probably the toughest schedule of all the teams battling to make the playoffs in the Eastern Conference but catch a break tonight as both the Blue ...

The Kings are looking more and more like the Western Conference team that no one would want to face in the Stanley Cup playoffs. Ever since the Olympic break they are 14-4-0 thanks in most part to goaltender Jonathan Quick who shutout the fading Phoenix Coyotes behind a relatively easy 17-save performance. That's his 3rd shutout since the O-break. Another team that is starting to heat up besides all the injuries to key personnel are the Detroit Red Wings. Although his stats since the O-break aren't that great (7-5-2), Jimmy Howard has performed much better in his last few starts as the Red Wings are trying to nail down their 23rd consecutive playoff appearance. And defeating the hottest team in the NHL in these Boston Bruins is no small feat.  It helps when you have the hottest goal-scorer on the planet in Gustav Nyquist. NYKE (pronounced Ni-kee like the sneaker) was held at bay much of the game but midway through the 3rd period, NYKE used his speed to score the eventual game-winner on a breakaway. There sure seems to be no stopping him. It took a long time, and some brilliant goaltending from G Frederik Andersen (30/32 SV), but the Anaheim Ducks awoke in time to come from a 2-goal deficit to defeat the Edmonton Oilers. Thank you Mr. Corey Perry once again as he scored two goals to tie the game before assisting on the game-winning goal, all in the third period.  With 6 games left he won't come close to his career high of 98 points in 2010-2011, but it has been a magical year nonetheless. Want a sleeper for next year? Look no further than Long Island's Ryan Strome who has been putting up points in the absence of not only John Tavares, but Kyle Okposo as well. Strome should be a lock to start the season with the Islanders and play alongside JT.  With 2 assists in last night's 2-1 road victory over Ottawa,  that gives him 6 points in last 5 games.

There are 11 games on the NHL calendar today. Boston will start things off with a game at Washington.  Tukkaa Rask is (LIKELY) in goal for Boston, and there little to say about him other thna the fact he will likey win the Vezina Trophy with his 33 wins and 2.01 GAA. Rask's even strength save percentage of .943 is amazing.  Jaroslav Halak is (LIKELY) to be in goal for the Capitals, and he has played well since the trade with a .929 save percentage with Washington, but we like Boston in this one. San Jose will visit Colorado. Antti Niemi is (LIKELY) for the Sharks while Semyon Varlamov has been (CONFIRMED) for the Avalanche. Both are having great years with each having 36 wins.  Varlamov has been hotter lately winning 3 of his last 4 whereas Niemi has gone 2-3 in his last 5.  Go with Varlamov. Ben Bishop will (LIKELY) be in goal for Tampa as they visit Buffalo. Youngster Matt Hackett is (LIKELY) to be in goal for the Sabres. Bishop has had a great year with 35 wins while Hackett has only played in 3 games.  Bishop should be the king. Cory Schneider has been (CONFIRMED) for the Devils at the Islanders. Although his record is only 14-14-9, his 2.14 GAA demonstrates that he has played well this season. Evgeni Nabokov is (LIKELY) for New York. He hasgone 2-4 in his last 6 games, so we like Schneider.   Carey Price will (LIKELY) start for Montreal at Florida. Price has had a solid year with 31 wins and a .924 save percentage. Dan Ellis has been (CONFIRMED) to be in goal for the Panthers. He has really struggled in his limited playing time with a 5-8 record and worse a 3.39 GAA and a .890 SP.  The Price is right.  The Red Wings will visit Toronto, and Jimmy Howard has been (CONFIRMED) in goal for Detroit.  He has had a tough year at 17-18-11 and he has suffered 3 straight losses. Jonathan Bernier is (LIKELY) to be in goal for the Leafs, and while he has played well this year with 25 wins, he has lost 2 straight games since coming back from an injury.  But we like him and his .924 save percentage. Sergei Bobrovsky is (LIKELY) in goal for Columbus as they visit Carolina.  Bobrovsky has played well with 27 wins and a 2.47 GAA, although he has lost 3 of his last 5 games.   He will (LIKELY) face Anton Khudobin who has a 16-12-0 record, but a solid 2.20 GAA and a .929 SP. He shutout Florida in his last game.  Still go with Bobrovsky.  Dallas will face the Blues in St. Louis and Kari Lehtonen is (LIKELY) in goal for the Stars. With 28 wins and a 2.48 GAA he has had a...

Andersen stopped 37 of 38 shots in a 2-1 win over the Kings on Saturday. It was a good outing for Andersen after allowing seven goals in his back-to-back losses in his two previous starts. Tonight, he will be in tough as he goes head-to-head vs. Antti Niemi.
