Dallas will take care of Minny, who, after their Cinderella season, are looking very ordinary. Stars have not impressed as of yet but are coming off of a good, team oriented win. Sure, the Phoenix is a perennial cellar-dweller, but this play is about Dallas starting to play together as a team. Minny isn't quite there yet. Look for Dallas to open the scoring and not look back.
Play: Stars, ML (Two?Star)
Jackets looked somewhat sluggish last night in period three. Hard to imagine them coming out with much gusto after a deflating, third-period collapse against the Oil. Preds are well rested and will come out flying. Throw Mr. V into the equation and it equals a W for the Predators. If Vokoun plays like he has been playing, I give the Jackets very little chance to escape with two.
Play: Predators, PL (Three?Star)
One?Star Leans
Flyers: Will outclass Pens
Sharks: Will feast on weary Hawks
Rangers: Was 3-Star material at first, but with Markannen. Dunham may be shaky, Tie/OT good possibility.
Islanders: @home, period.
