Ryan brings us breakfast early this morning…and he has to stop picking the Devils at some point. Its not working….LOL
The Morning After:
Yesterday’s scores:
Predators 4, Lightning 3
Rangers 3, Devils 1
Flames 4, Sharks 0
Predictions record: 1-2
My 3 stars of the night:
1. Henrik Lundqvist, NYR (27 Saves, 1 GA)… ‘The King’ made some big saves for the Rangers to close out a huge win over New Jersey.
2. Rene Bourque, CGY (2 Goals)
3. Anders Lindback, NSH (42 Saves, 3 GA)

Tonight’s Slate:
Flyers @ Blue Jackets, 7:00 ET
Coyotes @ Canadiens, 7:30
Kings @ Wild, 8:00
Game of the Night:
Phoenix Coyotes (2-2-2) @ Montreal Canadiens (4-2-1)
7:30 ET… TV: Local Networks
2009/10 Season Series: 1-0 Canadiens
Players to watch:
PHX- Keith Yandle
Yandle broke out last year, but has just two points and a minus-2 rating.
MTL- Michael Cammalleri
‘Cammer’ is goalless in five, but carries a plus-6 rating.
Projected Goaltenders:
PHX- Ilya Bryzgalov (2010/11 stats: 2-1-2, 2.54 GAA)
MTL- Carey Price (2010/11 stats: 4-2-1, 2.27 GAA)
Injury Report:
PHX- Martin Hanzal (lower body, out)
MTL- Andrei Markov (knee, doubtful)
Game Thoughts:
October 28, 1996… that was the last time the Coyotes won in Montreal. They have a tall task once again as the Canadiens have been solid in the first few weeks. Carey Price has performed beyond what many expected and boasts a 3-0 record against Phoenix. Unless the ‘Yotes can jump out to a lead early, I see the Habs winning a low-scoring contest.
Prediction: Canadiens 3, Coyotes 1
The rest of tonight’s predictions:
Flyers over Blue Jackets
Kings over Wild
