Behind The Mask

With Kelly Hrudey


Monday February 24: vs

The Oilers are winners of three straight games but I'm wondering about the impact of moving Torey Krug will have on the club. The Islanders have won four straight and with the addition of Jeff Skinner they look very formidable.

Prediction (OT)
vs
3 2
Actual
vs
5 0


Wednesday February 26: vs

The Bluejackets have clinched the division title and sit second overall in the league. 9-1 and winners of three straight games, they're ready to make some noise come playoff time. The Stars have dimmed somewhat after rolling along they now are 5-4-1 in their past ten games but appear to be locking up their playoff appearance.

Prediction
vs
2 5
Actual
vs
4 1


Thursday February 27: vs

The Habs have been playing good hockey lately and despite losing their past two games, they have opened up a four point edge on the Devils for the final playoff position in the east. The Bruins seemed to have hit a pitfall going 1-6-3 in their past ten and are only six points up on the surging Canadiens.

Prediction
vs
3 2
Actual
vs
1 3


Friday February 28: vs

Both of these teams have clinched playoff positions so what remains to be seen is if the Sabres can hold on for the Presidence trophy. I'm guessing they do.

Prediction
vs
2 5
Actual
vs
2 7


Tuesday February 25: vs

This is the first of a home and home between these two teams. This should be a great game! The Sharks are 7-3 and are only a point behind the Bluejackets for second overall in the league. The Nordiques meanwhile are 8-1-1 and are looking good. Only two points behind the Sharks, this home and home could see them vault up the standings.

Prediction (OT)
vs
4 3
Actual (OT)
vs
3 3
