First Screen Viewing
Avalanche vs. Jets – 7pm
Look, it’s two teams in the Central better than the Hawks! Not that the Avalanche are that far ahead of the local side, but they do sport what is currently the most damaging line in hockey, with Nathan MacKinnon, Mikko Ratanen, and Gabriel LaxativeLog. They certainly make a ton happen. The Jets haven’t fired fully yet, mostly due to Connor Hellebuyck going all “Jets goalie” so far this season. A slightly lower SH% than you’d expect from this band of outlaws hasn’t helped either, but this will correct itself. Should be something of a track meet.
Second Screen Viewing
Sharks vs. Blues – 7pm
There’s only one team propping up the Hawks right now, and thankfully it’s the Blues. Although they could hire Joel Quenneville any minute, because he’s aching to get a hold of this slow and dumb defense, dontcha know? The Sharks should run circles around this detention hall, and that’s always a good time for all. Then again, that could be the final nail in Mike Yeo’s coffin, which probably isn’t what we need. It’s hard being a hockey fan.
