It’s being billed as Connor McDavid versus Auston Matthews, and while that makes for an enticing marquee, this game is more than that. The Maple Leafs appear to be separating themselves from the pack in the North Division, but the Oilers have recently made some strides towards the top spot in the group.

While the Bruins have played high-level hockey consistently since the puck dropped back in mid-January, the young Rangers are still searching for their game. That’s not completely unexpected, as Boston was tabbed as one of the top contenders for the Stanley Cup this season, while it’s all about building a contender for New York.

Move over Toronto and Edmonton; the Winnipeg Jets also have designs on top spot in the North Division, and tonight faces a Canucks’ team that has been frustrating to watch so far this season.

The Keystone State teams meet up in Pittsburgh, with both of these clubs in the middle of a five-team dogfight for advantageous playoff positions for the upcoming post-season. This could be a preview of one of those playoff battles.

If you haven’t heard already, Wild forward Kirill Kaprizov is worth the price of admission, or at the very least your attention. He’s put a wonderfully entertaining twist into the Minnesota attack, and the result is they are right in the thick of the battle for a playoff spot in the suddenly wild Western Division. As for the Golden Knights, they are arguably the gold standard in that group.

Despite playing .611 hockey, the prevailing trends were not favourable for head coach Claude Julien, so he was replaced by long-time junior coach Dominique Ducharme. Can he get Les Canadiens playing at the same level they did out of the gate last month? They face a tough test tonight in the Winnipeg Jets.
7 pm Eastern SiriusXM 91
While you might expect both of these teams to qualify for the post-season in the tough East Division, the truth is neither team can coast to mid-May, not with the Flyers, Penguins, and Islanders all fighting for their playoff lives. And it’s always fun to watch former Bruins’ captain Zdeno Chara go up against his old team.
