MONTREAL CANADIENS 2 @ BOSTON BRUINS 1

Goaltending match-up: Carey Price (29/30, .967 SV%) vs. Tim Thomas (33/35, .943 SV%)

Combos: Max Pacioretty - Tomas Plekanec - Brian Gionta/ Michael Cammalleri - David Desharnais - Erik Cole/ Travis Moen - Lars Eller - Andrei Kostitsyn/ Mathieu Darche - Petteri Nokelainen - Mike Blunden/ Josh Gorges - P.K. Subban/ Hal Gill - Raphael Diaz/ Jaroslav Spacek - Yannick Weber

Scratches: Palushaj, Emelin

Top PP times: Weber (1:55), Plekanec (1:55), Cole (1:33), Gionta (1:12), Cammalleri (1:12)

Trending: Erik Cole (1G, +1, 2 PIM, 6 SOG) has points in three in a row now after having only one point on the season before that stretch. David Desharnais (1A, +1, 0:53 PP, 1 SOG) has points in B2B games for the first time this season. Jaroslav Spacek (1A, +1, no PP, 1 SOG) has helpers in two straight now. Tomas Plekanec (1G, +1, 2 PIM, 2 SOG) has points in three of four. Brian Gionta (1A, +1, 2 SOG) ended a three-game pointless spell. P.K. Subban (+1, 11 PIM, 0:10 PP, 3 SOG) picked up some PIM in a fight tonight and those sin bin visits are why standard league keeper league owners would be wise to never part with the up and coming star.

Combos: Brad Marchand - Patrice Bergeron - Rich Peverley/ Milan Lucic - Chris Kelly - Tyler Seguin/ Benoit Pouliot - David Krejci - Nathan Horton/ Daniel Paille - Gregory Campbell - Shawn Thornton/ Zdeno Chara - Johnny Boychuk/ Dennis Seidenberg - Joe Corvo/ Andrew Ference - Adam McQuaid

Scratches: Methot, Savard, Sanford

Top PP times: Wisniewski (6:05), Tyutin (5:45), Vermette (5:32), Prospal (5:11), Umberger (5:09)

Trending: Vinny Prospal (1G, 4 SOG) continues to put up points for the Jackets. Nice signing. Antoine Vermette (1A, 5 SOG) pushed his point streak to four games. James Wisniewski (1A, +1, 5 SOG) was shutout in his first game, but had a point here in No. 2 and he should be a steady producer for fantasy owners. Fedor Tyutin (1G, +1, 2 PIM, 5 SOG) has points in three of six from the back end. His value should be helped with Wisniewski back on the PP.

Combos: Thomas Vanek - Luke Adam - Jason Pominville/ Ville Leino - Derek Roy - Drew Stafford/ Nathan Gerbe - Paul Gaustad - Patrick Kaleta/ Cody McCormick - Matt Ellis - Brad Boyes/ Christian Ehrhoff - Andrej Sekera/ Jordan Leopold - Marc-Andre Gragnani/ Robyn Regehr - Tyler Myers

Trending: Thomas Vanek (3A, 3 SOG) has points in all but one start and he’s just been fantastic for poolies and the Sabres. He had 34 SOG in 8 GP coming in here too. Jason Pominville (2G, 1A, 3 SOG) already had 10 points before tonight, while Brad Boyes (1G, 1A, 1 SOG) has points in B2B affairs after a long string of nothing. Christian Ehrhoff (1A, +1, 1 SOG) had been shut down in his past three. Nathan Gerbe (1A, +1, 0:11 PP, 3 SOG) had five points coming in here and has points in B2B games for the first time all season.

TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS 4 @ NEW YORK RANGERS 2

Goaltending match-up: Jonas Gustavsson (28/30, .933 SV%) vs. Henrik Lundqvist (32/36, .889 SV%)

Combos: Joffrey Lupul - Tim Connolly - Phil Kessel/ Clarke MacArthur - Mikhail Grabovski - Nikolai Kulemin/ Matthew Lombardi - Tyler Bozak - Matt Frattin/ Philippe Dupuis - Dave Steckel - Mike Brown/ Carl Gunnarsson - Dion Phaneuf/ Mike Komisarek - John-Michael Liles/ Jake Gardiner - Luke Schenn

Scratches: Franson, Orr, Rosehill

Top PP times: Liles (3:38), Phaneuf (3:11), Kessel (3:03), Connolly (2:41), Lupul (2:36)

Trending: Tim Connolly (2 PIM, 15:13 TOI, no SOG) made his debut with the Leafs finally tonight. Matthew Lombardi (1G, 0:30 PP, 2 SOG) has points in B2B games. Joffrey Lupul (1G, 2 PIM, 4 SOG) is still producing well for his owners and Phil Kessel (1A, 5 SOG) was stopped several times on breakaways by Lundqvist. Jake Gardiner (1A, 2:13 PP, 4 SOG) has helpers in three of four. Clarke MacArthur (1G, +2, 2:18 PP, 3 SOG) had just one point in five games coming in.

Combos: Ruslan Fedotenko - Brad Richards - Marian Gaborik/ Brandon Dubinsky - Derek Stepan - Ryan Callahan/ Wojtek Wolski - Brian Boyle - Brandon Prust/ Kris Newbury - Artem Anisimov - Erik Christensen/ Ryan McDonagh - Dan Girardi/ Michael Del Zotto - Mike Sauer/ Steve Eminger - Tim Erixon

Scratches: Rupp

Top PP times: Richards (2:48), Gaborik (2:10), Stepan (2:10), Callahan (1:52), Del Zotto (1:34)

Trending: Marian Gaborik (1A, -1, 4 SOG) had been blanked in his past two and he may still be a buy-low candidate, depending on how impatient his owner in your league happens to be now. He can still have a huge season with Brad Richards. Dan Girardi (1G, +1, 0:36 PP, 2 SOG) had all three of his points on the season in the three games coming in here. Michael Del Zotto (1G, 1 SOG) has points in three of five.

WINNIPEG JETS 9 @ PHILADELPHIA FLYERS 8

Goaltending match-up: Ondrej Pavelec (36/43, .837 SV%) & Chris Mason (4/5, .800 SV%) vs. Sergei Bobrovsky (10/15, .667 SV%) & Ilya Bryzgalov (6/10, .600 SV%)

Top PP times: Burmistrov (4:04), Bogosian (3:49), Kane (3:23), Enstrom (3:11), Antropov (3:10)

Trending: Philly trailed this game 5-1 at one point. Andrew Ladd (1G, 2 PIM, 2:39 PP, 2 SOG) finished this one off with a goal at 18:54 of the third period. He has markers in two of three now as well, so maybe he can get something going. Alex Burmistrov (1G, 1A, -1, 2 SOG) has been money for the Jets early on and Evander Kane (1G, 1A, -2, 2 PIM, 3 SOG) has points in three straight, so he’s finally showing signs of life. When going on all cylinders, he’s a good multi-category threat for poolies and he’ll eventually emerge into a star performer. Tanner Glass (1G, 2A, +2, 0:15 PP, 2 SOG) had three points on the season before matching that here. Tobias Enstrom (2A, +1, 1 SOG) has points in five of his past seven on D, while Dustin Byfuglien (1A, +1, 2 PIM, 3:04 PP, 3 SOG) had three points in four games before tonight. Nik Antropov (1G, 2A, -1, 1 SOG) has points in five of six now. Blake Wheeler (3A, +1, 1:02 PP, no SOG) has points in two of three after three without one. Bryan Little (2A, 2:59 PP, 1 SOG) only had one point on the season coming in here. He had 48 points last year.

Combos: Scott Hartnell - Claude Giroux - Jaromir Jagr/ James van Riemsdyk - Danny Briere - Wayne Simmonds/ Matt Read - Sean Couturier - Jakub Voracek/ Jody Shelley - Max Talbot - Zac Rinaldo/ Matt Carle - Erik Gustafsson/ Kimmo Timonen - Braydon Coburn/ Andreas Lilja - Andrej Meszaros

Trending: Danny Briere (2G, 2A, +3, 4:09 PP, 3 SOG) had 27 points in 27 GP vs. this franchise coming in, while Claude Giroux (1G, -2, 3 SOG) had 5-5-10 in 9 GP overall this season before this evening. Jaromir Jagr (1A, -1, 4 SOG) continues to hold off Father Time and Scott Hartnell (1G, 1A, 2 PIM, 3:50 PP, 5 SOG) pushed his point streak to a modest three affairs. Kimmo Timonen (4A, +3, 2 PIM, 2 SOG) has multi-pointers in two of three. James van Riemsdyk (2G, 1A, +1, 9 SOG!) ended a four-game pointless skid here. Jakub Voracek (1A, 2 PIM, 3:25 PP, 4 SOG) is still looking for points in B2B games for the first time this season. Matt Carle (1A, -3, 4:06 PP, 3 SOG) already had six points in nine games coming in and he’ll be looking to continue to produce with more opportunities sans Chris Pronger.

NEW YORK ISLANDERS 2 @ PITTSBURGH PENGUINS 3 (SO)

Goaltending match-up: Evgeni Nabokov (30/32, .938 SV%) vs. Marc-Andre Fleury (17/19, .895 SV%)

Scratches: Mottau, Gillies, Montoya

Top PP times: Streit (2:38), Rolston (2:12), Parenteau (2:12), Tavares (2:12), 4 with 1:48

Trending: Mark Streit (1A, +2, 2 PIM, 2 SOG) had a strong six points in seven games before tonight and Frans Nielsen (1G, +1, 1:48 PP, 2 SOG) had just one point before tonight. Same for Kyle Okposo (1A, +1, 2 PIM, 1:48 PP, 2 SOG).

Scratches: Michalek, Letestu, MacIntyre

Top PP times: Malkin (9:34), Letang (8:49), Neal (8:02), Sullivan (7:19), Kunitz (7:12)

Trending: This was Evgeni Malkin’s (1A, -1, 3 SOG) second game back in the line-up. James Neal (1G, -1, 6 SOG) continues his prolific scoring pace and making poolies smile all the way. Check Jordan Staal’s (19:14 TOI) injury status if he’s on your team. He was tangled up with Tavares at one point and we'll see if there's any lingering effects. Chris Kunitz (1G, 1A, +1, 5 SOG) has goals in three of five. Kris Letang (1A, +1, 1 SOG) has helpers in three of his past four now and Pascal Dupuis (1A, +1, no PP, 3 SOG) added to the 3-5-8 he had before today. Shootout: Malkin

Tomas Fleischmann (1A, 2 SOG) has points in three straight for the first time this season. Stephen Weiss (1G, 1A, +1, 3 SOG) only had one point in four tries coming in, but still had seven points overall thanks to that four-pointer against the Lightning.

Ryan Malone (1A, +1, 3 SOG) has points in three of four after three games without one.
