Keystone State Battle


It should be an entertaining set of games this evening. The game of the night, and why this post has it's title, sees the Flyers travel to Pittsburgh for a soccer-esque derby. Pittsburgh is playing well and the Flyers are beginning to right the ship. But the Pens are just too potent on offense and good enough on defense. The score...4-2 Pens.

Tampa @ Nashville - The struggling Bolts will run into a fired-up and well-oiled Nashville team. Everything says pick the Preds but I am feeling bold. Vinny leads his team to a thrilling 4-3 OT victory.

Calgary @ St. Louis - The Flames are still licking their wounds after a difficult loss to the Avs over the weekend. They will rebound well and keep the pressure on the first place Avs, especially since the baby Blues struggle at home. Flames win 3-1.

Columbus @ Minnesota - Despite a disappointing season for the Wild, they have been respectable at home. Columbus in in danger of falling too far out of the playoff picture and might start to play with some desperation. The elements of mother nature are too strong for the man-made blue jackets. Wild win 2-1.

Washington @ Colorado - This game will be an indication if the Avs are for real. The Caps will be a great test and after their loss to the lowly Leafs. They should get back in the win column. I still have questions about Colorado. Prove me wrong. Caps win a shootout 5-2.

LA @ Edmonton - After a tough loss to neighboring Vancouver, the Kings travel to Edmonton to play the Oilers on back to back nights. The Kings will look to get something out of this mini road trip and win 3-2.
