ALL GOALIES CONFIRMED UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED AT TIME OF PRINT
Kari Lehtonen is back! He has gone 3-1, while posting a 1.41 GAA and a .956 SP, so you know the Stars are ecstatic to have their no.1 playing over journeyman Dan Ellis. The Winnipeg Jets should be no match for the Stars tonight. Take Lehtonen big.. The Blues looked real flat after a week layoff in the loss to Vancouver, so expect the real version to show up tonight. Brian Elliott(LIKELY) will be in net against a Nashville team devoid of any scoring punch and without the services of their top goalie Pekka Rinne. The Blues win.. After three consecutive defeats, look for Jimmy Howard and the Red Wings to "right the ship" against a struggling Rangers team. No Lundqvist, no Nash, no Callahan. NO WIN. Take Howard.. Forced into premature starting duty because the of Josh Harding injury, a less than 100% Niklas Backstrom takes the net against Chicago on the road. Corey Crawford(LIKELY) and Blackhawks should prevail in this one... Are we sniffing a huge letdown for the Isles against underdog Philly after their huge comeback victory last night in Pittsburgh? Yep, Steve Mason(LIKELY) has been real solid for the Flyers, posting a 2.17 GAA. Take Philly in the upset.. Ben Bishop and the Lightning can also be playing in a "trap game" after their huge OT win against Chicago, but the Buffalo Sabres played last night and are relying on the services of struggling goalie Ryan Miller, who has lost last three starts while giving up 12 goals. Take Bishop all day.
