The Blues sit atop the Central with 105 points and control their own destiny. Nashville is one point back. Chicago has 102, Minnesota 96, Winnipeg 94. Everybody has 3 games left.
Jake Allen gets the start again tonight. It's his turn. Scratch that. Hitch is going to ride the hot hand. Whatever gets a W. Steen and Tarasenko are both still out. Bortuzzo will miss this one, too.
The Jets worry me. They're a good hockey team and will be desperate for a win. They shut out Minnesota last night to jump over the Kings and Flames into a wild card spot. Since Pavelec played last, I expect to see Hutchinson in net. No Byfuglien as he sits out his suspension.
If you get a chance, stop by Arctic Ice Hockey and see what's happening in the Great White North.
This is your morning open thread.
