-4 Game weeks belong to Florida, Philly and Washington in the East and Dallas, Los Angeles and the Sharks in the West .

- There are no 2 game weeks for the period of Feb 23-March 1 . Everybody plays at least 3 contests .

-Because this is a week where everybody gets at least a 3 game schedule I wouldn't spend as much time worrying about matchups choosing instead to start all your healthy best talent .

-  I do like the Bruins quite a bit this week as they play 3 contests all at home and both Anaheim and Washington present opportunities to see some goals scored as both clubs are in the NHL's bottom half in team defense .

- I would use my Sabres liberally this week . They don't have any tough matchups on the slate, and it's a safe bet that they'll probably try and be a little more aggressive offensively with star netminder Ryan Miller sidelined (high ankle sprain).

- Other than the game against the Sharks , the Stars have maybe the most favorable set of opponents this coming week . Start all your normal players with confidence .

- A nice sleeper team this week would be the Blues who have 3 games and get the equally very young Coyotes in a pair of games that could feature a decent number of goals .

- Florida has been one of the leagues best stories having climbed right into the thick of the playoff hunt . I would be careful having too many Panthers in your lineup this week as 3 of the 4 contests see them face top 10 defensive units (Boston, Jersey and the Rangers).
