THE GOALIE EDGE: 12/20/2013 primepucks.com Fri 12/20/13 1:59 PM

ALL GOALIES CONFIRMED UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED AT TIME OF PRINT The Battle of New York takes place at MSG tonight as Evgeni Nabokov goes against Henrik Lundqvist. Both goalies are looking to find their game as the Rangers have gone 3-7 in their last ten while the Isles have been losers of 13 of their last 14.  Yikes!  Nabby has been solid in net the last 2 games since his return from injury and that should continue tonight while the Rangers have only won 1 game on their 9 game home stand.  I'm sure their neighbors to the East are smelling blood in this one.  Not an easy one to call....If the New Jersey Devils have indeed found their offense, they will need to bring it against the visiting Anaheim Ducks who are battling the Chicago Blackhawks or the Western Conference lead. Cory Schneider gets the call against a familiar opponent from his days with the Vancouver Canucks, but Jonas Hiller and the Ducks are perhaps a little bit better team. Home ice is critical and the think the Devils can squeak one out here...Philipp Grubauer gets another shot in goal for the Washington Capitals as they visit the Carolina Hurricanes and Cam Ward. The Canes return from an unsuccessful Western Canada road trip and may be ripe for catching them being road-weary.  The Caps meanwhile have not played since Tuesday night and should be well rested....With Roberto Luongo playing last night, it appears to be Eddie Lack's (LIKELY) turn in net for the Vancouver Canucks. He will have to go against the Chicago Blackhawks and Antti Raanta, who has filled in admirably for the injured Corey Crawford. The Hawks at home are 12-2-4 and although not perfect, pretty darn close to it....Are the Florida Panthers on a roll or what? What an amazing win last night against the Ottawa Senators, but tonight they will be up against the Winnipeg Jets who need a victory tonight.  Tim Thomas (LIKELY) should be making his return from injury with hopes f not derailing the Cats' momentum. Ondrej Pavelec has lost 4 in a row, so he desperately needs to prove himself. Go with the hot Cats!.... FANTASY MUST-STARTS Antti Raanta, Chicago vs. Vancouver SLEEPER ALERT None. DAILY GOALIE PICKS Steve: (46-29) Ondrej Pavelec Ray: (41-33) Antti Raanta Mike: (37-28) TBA
