-4 Game weeks belong to Atlanta, Florida, Montreal, New Jersey, Islanders,and Tampa Bay in the East and Calgary, Colorado, Columbus, Dallas , Minnesota, and Vancouver in the West .
-2 Game weeks belong to the Rangers in the East and LA in the West .
- The highlight of the week will no doubt be the Winter Classic staged Thursday at Wrigley Field in Chicago between the Wings and Black Hawks .
- Keep rolling with Tim Thomas and the Bruins . They've had more favorable weeks for sure, but you can't bench anybody here seeing how well the group is playing regardless of who the opposition is .
- I'd have all my Canes in the lineup this week including any marginal starters with Atlanta, the Blues and the Lightning on the schedule .
- Anaheim looks like a good place for some offensive numbers this week with Columbus, Philadelphia and Phoenix on the schedule .
- I'm still playing Kane, Toews, Campbell, and Sharp but I'd be cautious beyond the top few Hawks this week . Two games against the Wings, and one against the Flames suggest their scoring totals may be lower than most 7 day periods.
- The Canucks play 4 and they're going to score some against probably three of those teams . They also expect to get Mats Sundin in their lineup which may give them a short term boost . I'd have all my normal starters in this week and when it comes down to your last couple of lineup decisions, I'd look at the Canucks on your bench too .
