A light schedule Friday where Neil's choice of home cooking landed him a 1-1-0 mark as the Rangers defeated Chicago while the Sabres fell to Detroit. Heavy lifting Saturday with 15 games, many being played in the afternoon. The big slates haven't been kind but let's see if that trend reverses itself with a 490-272-110 overall mark.

Like a car wreck, it's just hard to look away. We're speaking of the Pacific Division and the Western Conference Wild Card race. The Edmonton Oilers and Vegas Golden Knights were looked upon to be heavy favorites to be 1-2 in the Pacific but are now in a position just to see who will gain home-ice advantage in a potential opening round matchup. Meanwhile, just as it appeared Utah and Nashville were getting comfortable in the wild card spots, they put out the welcome mats to Los Angeles and Seattle. Vic and Neil break it down plus check in on the East where we have some leapfrogging in the Metro and Wild Card battles along with a few other odds and ends mixed in.

A 13-game card wasn't particularly lucky Thursday as Neil's selections were over the map with the +60-minute gremlin showing up again in a 5-4-4 evening which moves Neil to 489-271-110 for the season. Just two games on tap Friday - one very important in the standings, the other...not so much.

Only two games on the Wednesday schedule. Neil held his nose and picked a winner with the Leafs while settling for the loser's point with the Sabres OTL. Perhaps a 13-game Thursday will be a lucky one with a 484-267-106 overall mark.

The Ottawa Senators were tied for last in the Eastern Conference on Jan. 11. They were nine points out of a playoff spot on Jan. 24 and exited the Olympic break still a half dozen points from one of the coveted position. Overcoming injuries to the backline and showing true grit, the Sens woke up on March 25 in a playoff spot thanks to a pair of road wins and so good fortune on the out-of-town scoreboard. Vic and Neil break it all down and also do their first installment of "Spring Cleaning" with the Vancouver Canucks having been eliminated from post-season contention. Finally, a salute to just the second NHL head coach ever to reach 2,000 games behind the bench.

After four days of blazing the trail, Neil cooled off a bit with a 6-7-2 mark. Two games, one with playoff implications and one without, make up Wednesday's schedule. The overmark stands at 483-267-105.
