Carolina at Boston......................................


Carolina 12-14-4 away (24-27-11 overall)
Boston 19-10-1 at home (32-23-5 overall)

Teams have met once this season, Carolina lost at home 6-3 jan 2. Carolina was coming off the best December in franchise history, and a very successful road trip and coach was worried they'd be sloppy. They were. But have been as poor since then as Bruins have been hot.

Carolina is tough in rematches with opponents they lost to by 3 goals or more. They won two of such rematches, one tie, lost 3 by 1 goal, and only Vancouver managed a second consecutive defeat by 2 or more goals (let alone the original three).

Carolina 2-4-4 last 10. Just 2 wins in last 13. 2-4 last 6 on road--Beat Anaheim and TB.
Boston 6-2-2 last 10. 4-1-1 last 6 home games.

Boston's last game was road tie to NYI in final 1.4 seconds.

Last 3 meetings went over
over 5.5 line has hit 5-3 Boston at home
over 5.5 line has hit 9-3 Carolina on road

Bruins 10-1-0-2 vs SE Div teams. (24-10-2-5 v E Conf)
'Canes 3-6-3-1 vs NE Div teams. (15-14-8-5 v E Conf foes)






Ottawa at NY Rangers
Ott 14-13-4 away (30-22-7 overall)
NYR 16-12-2 at home (27-29-4 overall)

Teams have met twice this season. A 2-2 tie at Senators Oct 13, and NYR won at home 3-2 Dec 23.

Senators 5-11-2 all time at NYR. But 8-3-2-0 last 13 overall.

Last five meetings have gone Under (dating back to Nov 2000)

But--Under is 11-18 Ottawa away
Under 12-18 Rangers at home
But--under 5.5 line has hit 8-5 Ott on road
But--under 5.5 line has hit 9-15 NYR at home.

---I don't usually put in any trends if they all conflict, but it was confusing in a fun way!

Ott 5-2-3 last 10
NYR 5-5 last 10

Ott PK (away) has slipped from 82.7 to 76.5 (overall) last five.
Ranger PK improved from 75.7 (home) to 90.9 (overall) last five.

Rangers are fighting for final playoff spot and losing it last few days. But they are distracted by Theo Fluery tantrums and Messier day to day thoughts on possible surgery.

Ott is 6-8-2 on 1 day rest after a win
NYR is 6-11-2 on 1 day rest after a loss

Ottawa is still offensive leader in NHL at 3.17 goals/game overall. And are 3.39 on road, and have improved to 4.00 overall last five due to tuesday's 5-2 pasting of Montreal. Tho that wacky 11-5 job over WA last Nov sure helped these averages.

Pittsburg at Columbus
Straka out for sure, and most probably Lemieux...http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/tri...ve/s_19849.html

Pitt is 9-17-4 on road
Columbus is 10-17-5 at home

Both teams coming off self-described "sorry efforts"

Pitt 4-5-3 on 0 days rest. 2-2-1 on 0 day following a loss.

Pitt is 1-1-1 on 0 days rest in 2nd game IF first was home, 2nd on road.

Bluejackets 8-17-6 on 1 day's rest. 6-13-3 on 1 day rest following a loss.

Pitt is 0-4-0-1 last five. Haven't won in 8 games (0-5-1-2). And the last win was OT at Atl jan 26.
Pitt is 0-3-1-1 last 5 on road, scoring a total of 9 in those.

Columbus is 1-6-1-1 last nine.

Teams have meet twice in history. Pitt won at home 5-2 (oct 2000) and on road 3-2 (feb 2001).

Aubin start tonight "good possibility" coach is quoted

Tugnutt is expected, since Denis got last start and Columbus poor defense working goalies hard.

Columbus is 2-30-5-2 when held to fewer than 3 goals!

I assume Columbus leading scorer Whitney will start, but no confirmation. Paper sez maybe.




San Jose at Washington
SJ is 15-11-5 away
WA 16-10-5 at home

this from covers:
The Sharks are 8-2 ATS in the past 10 meetings.
SJ have won their last six ATS and SU overall.
SJ's D has given up one goal/game avg. over their last five overall.
The over is 9-3 for the Caps when the line is 5 or less.
Washington is 9-2 ATS when home after a win.
WASH is second in PP at 20.51%.


I would add that SJ PP is 21st in league
And the past 10 meetings go back to 1995.

In SJ six game win streak they have outscored opposition 24-8

WA's Bondra and Zuburs are "probable".

WA is unbeaten in last five, against tought teams like TB (twice), Nash, MN and FL.

WA is 3 points out of final playoff spot. Six of next 7 games against teams with winning records.

WA hoping for a late season run, as usual. They are "41-16-6-4 from February to season's end the past three seasons" sez the Post..........http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dy...-2002Feb27.html

SJ hoping to win tonight to tie franchise record for consecutive wins.

SJ go to TB tomorrow. WA to Ott saturday
