- 4 game weeks belong to Carolina, Islanders, Rangers, Ottawa, Pittsburgh, Tampa Bay and Toronto in the East , and Chicago, Columbus, Edmonton, LA, Nashville, and St. Louis in the West.
- Only one team plays just 2 games this week and that's Philadelphia.
- I'd roll with my Sabres this week . They have Toronto and the Flyers which are pretty easy matchups, and they face the Rangers who are one of the leagues top 10 defensive units, but usually have trouble keeping it low scoring at HSBC .
- Montreal has been in a funk over the last several games . Look for some better performances this week when they get Washington, the Pens and Senators - none of which is particularly stingy.
- The Rangers have 3 good matchups among their 4 games . I still can't suggest loading the lineup with even their better players as too often the club scores only one or two goals .
- The Panthers play 3 games and all three have the look of low scoring contests . I'd exhaust all my lineup options before going with any of my marginal guys in that Florida lineup this week .
- The Lightning might have the least appealing of all the 4 game schedules for this coming week . Games against Chicago, New Jersey, and Boston look like tough tests for this underachieving group.
- Minnesota looks like they'll be in a tough spot for much production this coming week . Games against Calgary, Detroit, and Chicago suggest the need to look elsewhere for this coming week .
- The Blues players look like they could be in for a tough week . They do play 4 contests, but the weakest of the 4 defensive clubs is Nashville (twice) and they still rank 13th in the league .
