NHL Games Of The Week (Feb 27- Mar 4)

Here are my choices for the most interesting match-ups, this week in the NHL. Enjoy!

New Jersey Devils @ New York Rangers on Monday (2/27)

The Devils with 74 points are just 1 back of the 4th seed in the east. They’ll have to beat probably the best team in the league at home while they look to tie up the race for the president’s trophy. The Rangers might make a move for multiple time all-star Rick Nash, which would make them that much better.

Prediction - Rangers 5-3

Los Angeles Kings @ Minnesota Wild on Tuesday (2/28)

Both of these teams are in the midst of a playoff run. The wild are 5 points back of 8th and LA is 2 points back. LA is playing the night before in Nashville which I think they will be a little sluggish to start but will pick it up midway through.

Prediction - Kings 3-2

Florida Panthers @ Winnipeg Jets on Thursday (3/1)

These 2 teams are battling for control of the Southeast division lead. The Jets have played more games then Florida giving the Panthers the edge. Winning the division is crucial because it gives you either the 1,2 or 3 seed going into the playoffs.

Prediction - Panthers 5-4
