Slumping Devils managed to win on Sunday.
Doesn't look like Timo Meier has made all that much difference in their overall
play so far - win a bunch, then start losing. |

Is Jonathan Quick the missing piece for
Vegas? Haven't we asked that sort of question with every trade they make for a
fading star?, |

Right now the Rangers are a buzzsaw and
the Pens/Preds were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. |

Leafs fall three spots. Their trade
deadline moves doesn't instill much confidence in the ability to finish come
money time. |

Hmm... playoff time is approaching and
suddenly Gabriel Landeskog is skating again. What a strange coincidence. |

Be honest: we all want to see McDavid
score 60+ goals and hit 150+ points. |

Lightning took 3 of 4 points from the
Devils in New Jersey, then came home and lost to them despite Timo Meier and
Jack Hughes not scoring. |

Choppy waters for the Kracken. Can they

The Panthers are charging up the
standings as of this moment control their own destiny. You can bet Boston
doesn't want to face their offense in the first round of the playoffs. |

Jordan Binnington is nothing if not
entertaining. He's turned a vanilla mid-pack team that's about to fall into the
bottom third of the league worth watching just for his antics. |

William Eklund has made the Sharks
