> The Skinny
The Bruins are a wagon. They have been since October but have really come into their own in the final weeks of the season. They are ramping up for the playoffs while the Red Wings are a team trending in the opposite direction, looking to lose to maintain their draft lottery position . . . The Penguins are holding on for dear life to the third place seed in the Metro. They need to fight off the Hurricanes one more time in order to keep them from passing Pittsburgh in the standings. We think they will, let’s see how it plays out . . . The Wild and the Yotes are not known for their scoring prowess, but a line of five is really achievable for these two teams especially due to the circumstances they find themselves in, three and four points out respectively. This is a big game for both sides, expect goals to be plentiful . . . Lastly the Rangers and Flyers have been disappointing to say the least. Flyers are 3-6-0 in their last nine while the Rags are 3-8-5 since Feb. 24. Both have been struggling to get things going as of late.
