Edmonton Oilers (34-19-4, Second in Pacific) HC: Kris Knoblauch Top Performers: Leon Draisaitl (42-44-86 +25), Connor McDavid (22-50-72 +4), Evan Bouchard (9-35-44 +17), Ryan Nugent-Hopkins )16-21-37 +4), Zach Hyman (19-14-33 +10), Mattias Ekholm (8-17-25 +12), Darnell Nurse (4-18-22 +9)
EDM Outlook: Have lost three in a row. It was 5-4 against COL before 4 Nations. Now 6-3 and 7-3 to PHI and WSH on a back-to-back. Yikes. 5-4-1 in last 10. Haven’t had a regulation win since 1-27 vs. SEA. Slightly misleading, but this is the same point chasm team. 26th PK 74 percent with sub .900 goaltending. Are they going to get back to the Stanley Cup Finals? Get to business with TB, FLA, CAR all on the road. Lock in. Have a nine-point cushion on a spot in the West, but I see this as a wake-up opportunity.
Tampa Bay Lightning (32-20-4, Third in Atlantic) HC: Jon Cooper Top Performers: Nikita Kucherov (26-57-83 +13), Brandon Hagel (27-37-64 +26), Brayden Point (31-28-59 +6), Jake Guentzel (27-27-54 +9), Victor Hedman (8-36-44 +7), Anthony Cirelli (20-23-43 +20), Nick Paul (17-14-31 +6), Ryan McDonagh (2-17-19 +34), Erik Cernak (2-13-15 +22)
TB Outlook: 7-2-1 in the last 10. Have won five in a row. Big back-to-back wins over OTT to take the third seed in the Atlantic. Five of the next seven at home. EDM, CGY, at WSH, at FLA, CBJ, BUF, BOS.
Goaltending Matchup: Stuart Skinner (20-13-4, 2.81 GAA, .898 SV, 2 SO); Calvin Pickard (14-6-0, 2.69 GAA, .896 SV) vs. Andrei Vasilevskiy (26-15-3, 2.29 GAA, .920 SV, 3 SO); Jonas Johansson (6-5-1, 3:24 GAA, .892 SV, 1 SO)
