* This is the final week of the regular season . Do not bench your stars or take unnecessary chances . Use the chart only  for setting your marginal guys .

* 4 Game weeks belong to Boston, Buffalo, Montreal, Islanders, Ottawa, and Philadelphia in the East, and Calgary, Chicago, Colorado, Detroit , and Los Angeles in the West .

* Anaheim is the only team with a 2 game week .

* Because the Ducks only have 2 games, and they're back to back, I would avoid both Hiller and Giguere in the Ducks net since both guys figure to get just one start.

* Atlanta has 3 games and only the 11th ranked Panthers are a decent defensive group . All three games are at home - use your Thrashers with confidence .

* The Sabres have 4 games and are playing for their playoff lives . Play all your Sabres this coming week .

* The Penguins have 3 games and should pile up th epoints with their three opponents . Start them .

* The Blues play 3 contests and with guys auditioning for jobs next year combined with contests against Phoenix and Colorado I like the way their week shapes up.

*Your Canucks make a very good play this week with home games against the Flames and Kings and a road tilt against the Avs . They should get decent scoring totals in each contest .

* The Wild have 3 games and two promise to be low scoring affairs (Nashville and Columbus) . Look elsewhere for marginal starters in the final week .

* Tough week for the Predators this week as two of the three teams they see are in the top 5 defensively . Think twice before blindly starting your Preds.
