ALL GOALIES ARE CONFIRMED UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED AT THE TIME OF PRINT
Eddie Lack will be back in net for the Vancouver Canucks after that disastrous third period against the NY Isles last time out. Expect a tighter game as the ‘Nucks head to Winnipeg to take on a reeling Jets team that has lost 3 in a row after going 5-2-0 and getting themselves close to playoff contention. Ondrej Pavelec should be back in goal for the Jets, but should be facing a more spirited Canucks team with something to prove... Antti Raanta gets the nod tonight for the Chicago Blackhawks as they travel to Colorado to take on Semyon Varlamov and the Avalanche. The Hawks will be looking to avenge their 4-2 loss on March 4th. A battle worth watching as the two clubs look to keep pace with the Western Conference leaders.....In the lone Eastern Conference contest, Boston heads to Montreal to take on Peter Budaj and the Canadiens. The Habs are back home after an unsuccessful 4-game West Coast swing as they are feeling the effects of not having their star goalie Carey Price who is still out with an LBI. Tuukka Rask (LIKELY) will lead the Bruins in what should be a rock'em, sock'em affair. Budaj has faltered lately as the fill-in Number 1 (going 2-3-1) after serving well as the backup (6-4-1) but the big, bad Bruins may prove to be too much for the road-weary Habs....You would think that a game against the Calgary Flames would be just what the doctor ordered for the 3-game losing streak Anaheim ducks, but Flames goalie Joni Ortio has been playing well in net despite losing the last two. Jonas Hiller (LIKELY) will be back in net for the Ducks but don't expect a cakewalk. The Flames play hard and to the end. Ducks will squeak by...
