BUZZTRON UPDATE
4-2 Last Night 11-3 Saturday. 15-5 for the weekend. After a slow start, the machine was oiled and new ticker tape was installed...
Tonight's Picks:
Detroit OVER Calgary
Boston OVER NJ Devils
LA Kings OVER NY Rangers
Dallas OVER Utah
Colorado OVER Pittsburgh
NEW PROJECTED FINAL STANDINGS:
Several games with playoff implications, The Bruins need to take care of NJ, while Detroit needs to get points versusCalagary..both teams are predicted to win.
BUZZ GAME OF THE NIGHT: Penguins at Colorado.
This game matters more than people might think.
Pittsburgh is still hovering around the playoff line in the East. When you look at the actual, current standings it looks very much like the Penguins are bound for the playoffs, but when you actually look at the rest of the season's schedule and factors TheBuzzTron 3000 has the Penguins on pace to miss the playoffs by one point. That could change tonight.The Buzztron has them losing to Colorado tonight, so a Penguins win would put them back in the playoffs in the projections even if the Bruins win their expected win tonight.
Colorado is battling for seeding and home ice in the West.
Implication:
Penguins win → huge road points in the race. Jump into final wildcard in Projected standings
Avalanche win → strengthen their division positioning.
