First Screen Viewing
Blue Jackets vs. Lightning – 6pm
I’m gonna resist the urge to continually least he Leafs here, even though they’re probably the most entertaining TV at the moment. The Jackets have taken six of the first eight points on offer, and the Artemi Panarin Contract Drive is in full force with seven points already in those games. The Bolts have only played twice, splitting them, and contain their own amount of firepower. The Jackets are kind of a scientific study this season, as this is what happens when you’re under the delusion you can compete for a Cup but the two players most responsible for that delusion don’t want to stay in your city for more than four minutes after their contract expires.
Second Screen Viewing
Hurricanes vs. Wild – 5pm
The Canes are off to another spiky start, as Scott Darling isn’t choking on his own vomit yet. They’re still playing the same style as they did under Bill Peters, but it’s a little more controlled and they have a few more weapons. As you saw on Thursday, the Wild can’t really play defense at the moment for dick, so this one should be up and down as well.
