Tuesday, February 4th
With all teams off their bye weeks now, we get right back into the thick of things with a massive slate tonight. There are 13 games with just two teams — the Dallas Stars and Florida Panthers — on the tail-end of a back-to-back which makes this slate quite the interesting one with so many rested teams.
General Observations
The Boston Bruins remain atop the Atlantic Division, though the red-hot Tampa Bay Lightning have certainly closed that gap after an extremely slow start. After a ridiculous start to the season, David Pastrnak has slowed down a bit. Slowing down for Pastrnak, though, has resulted in 9 goals and 16 points in the 12 games since January 1st. The Bruins host the Vancouver Canucks tonight as the two teams have matching 7-2-1 records over their last 10 games.
