Pens vs
Flyers
After some late season nastiness between the Flyers & Penguins
in mid 2013; Flyers coach Peter Lavliolette is taking a liberal approach for
todays game. It appears Tom Sestito & Jody Shelley; both know for their size
and toughness will be healthy scratches headed into the opener. Same can be said
for defenseman Bruno Gervais. The Penguins plan on sitting out center Dustin
Jeffrey & Ben Lovejoy.
Sorry for you non-lovers of violence; but there is so much hatred here;
it`s only a matter not if but when something happens. One would have assumed
Laviolette be prepare for that type of game and inserting Shelley or
Sestito.

Sens vs Jets
Both of these two Canadian teams seek to get off to a quick start. No
matter what the experts say; these two teams will go neck & neck; so these
head to head match ups are large.
Expect no surprises in the Ottawa lineup; at this time Kaspars Daugavins
& Mark Boroweicki will be the healthy scratches; with Ben Bishop also being
avl. as the third goalie.
The Jets lineup is almost set; Nik Antropov is probable, if he`s not good
to go look for Anthony Peluso to make his NHL debut. Zack Redmond & James
Wright will be out as healthy scratches.

Hawks
vs Kings
Jonathan Toews is a question mark because of the Flu; the Hawks captain did not
skate Friday. The Kings will be without Anze Kopitar & Willie Mitchell both
with knee injuries. Healthy scratches for LA will be Anthony Stewart, Brad
Richarson & Jake Muzzin. The Hawks line-up is not known at this time; but it
is safe to assume Sheldon Brookbank will be the 7th de-man & a scratch for
the Hawks.
