ST. LOUIS BLUES - CHICAGO BLACKHOCKS Absences: Some doubtful on both sides for the first match. Goalkeepers: Eliot (2.07), Allen (2.35) and Nilsson (2.75) are the goalkeepers of St. Louis, Crawford (2.37), Darling (2.58) and Leighton (1.52, but in one match) of Chicago. Eliot and Crawford are great goalkeepers, the latter with no…

LOS ANGELES KINGS - SAN JOSE SARKS Absences: Nothing important. Goalkeepers: Quick (2.22) and Enrot (2.17), Los Angeles goalkeepers, Jones 2.27) and San Jose Reimer (1.62). Quick in his day is incredible. Defense: Los Angeles concedes 2.34 goals (3rd best defense), San Jose concedes…

The New York Islanders lost 4-3 to Buffalo at home yesterday and today against the completely indifferent (sealed the playoffs yesterday) Philadelphia, they choose an opponent. If they win, they fall on Pittsburgh, if they lose, they send the hated Rangers to the trained "penguins" and play against Florida. Hockey does not…

Huesca is marginally below the relegation zone, Tarragona is in the playoffs with the aim of rising directly. Without three key executives, Huesca (the two stoppers and a defensive midfielder) has only three victories at home. Twelve consecutive undefeated Tarragona (seven consecutive…

With the exception of the home match with Ponferrandina that ... did not enter the field, Oviedo's image lately is bad. Instability, mistakes and in many cases lack of mood (mainly away from home). He has four defeats in the last five. Inside is one though, that weird 2-4 of…

They are the two worst teams of the second round! Cordoba has five consecutive defeats at home! Ultra returns to Cordoba 4-4-2 (it does not have a key stopper). Rarely does not score at home, finally concedes goals easily. Albacete (without a key midfielder) has been playing since its last…

The Dallas Stars with a victory against the Nashville Pretenders seal the first title of their district in 10 years. Nashville is 7th in the West and does not change position. Dallas' attack is great, but his defense easily concedes goals. Nashville has been faltering defensively lately (in…

Last home game for the New Jersey Devils who have been eliminated from the playoffs. Last match for the Toronto Maple Leafs, if they lose in the regular season, they will finish last in the league (otherwise they will have to wait for the result of Edmonton playing later) and they have more chances for…

Tampa Bay Lightning go to Montreal decimated. To the well-known absence due to a serious problem of Steven Stamkos, are added today those of Kucherov, Hedman. In total, these three (first in points in the team) have 76 goals and 101 assists. On the beams the alternate and mediocre Vasilevski. Tampa Bay is in…

Essentially the last day (it has two matches tomorrow and a final) of the regular season in hockey. The question is who do the New York Rangers want to face in the first round of the playoffs. The hot and unstoppable Pittsburgh Penguins or the good but not so well-formed Florida Panthers. Any reasonable person…

It will rain a little, this makes the terrain in "Antuva" dangerous for the defenses. Ponferandina has never won in Miranda in nine of its visits. Mirandes is fighting for the playoffs, it will not have its goalkeeper plus a key stopper (there is a lack of time and a leading midfielder), he scores…

The last two of the standings, only if one wins has hopes to fight. Giagostera has ... a tradition with the B 'teams, with 14 victories in the last 17 at home (not with Bilbao B, generally with all the ... B'). The Catalans at home usually have a good face, with attacking football…

The Nashville Predators have a specific place in the playoffs (neither going up nor down) but are looking for momentum after a bad streak due to the fact that they concede goals very easily (in five consecutive conceded goals they have conceded at least three goals). Offensively they continue to be above good. The goalkeeper has not been announced…

We said it about the Colorado Avalanche a few days ago, defense "holes" (in seven consecutive conceded at least three goals), attack very capable but unstable. We have said it many times about the Dallas Stars, amazing attack, defense ... useless (usually) and mediocre goalkeepers. This could be a pretty big bet on a starter, but…

The terribly formed attack of Pittsburgh paid us well the day before yesterday, I do not need to rewrite much: In seven series and in the last 9/10 they have scored three or more goals. On the beams again, the pancake Murray, is very good in general in the season, but he gets tired because he keeps playing due to an injury of the main one.

The St. Louis Blues have been scoring like machine guns for quite some time. In the last 9/10, against good or bad defenses, they scored a minimum of three goals and in fact seven times at least four goals. Defensively they are clearly improved a lot, but tonight they are going to a difficult home to face an excellent offensive team…

Derby in New York, the Islanders are looking for the first sweep (to win all the games of the season) in their history against the Rangers and to catch them in the standings (for better placement in the playoffs). Matches between them traditionally either become a rodeo with countless goals, or stick very low.…

The Vancouver Canaks had nine straight wins by the end of last week, mainly because they could not find nets or on demand. In the early hours of last Friday, they dropped the bomb, winning 4-2 in San Jose. This was followed by an impressive victory over the excellent Anaheim (also away from home) with 3-2 and immediately…
