Letdown spot

This one is fairly simple. The Devils are coming off an emotionally-charged outdoor game against the rival Rangers in the Bronx on Sunday, and now have to travel to face a non-conference opponent - and a tough one at that - in St. Louis on Tuesday.

The Blues got back on track during an eastern road swing last week, and should be in good position to grab another 'w' with noting but two days off to look forward to once the final horn sounds.

Lookahead spot

The Canucks have a big home game lined up against the rival Blackhawks on Wednesday night, but before that, they'll host the lowly Oilers on Monday night. With Edmonton coming off six consecutive losses and Vancouver having taken all three meetings in the series so far this season, it would be easy for the Canucks to overlook Monday's opponent.

Of course, this play should offer excellent value given the Oilers struggles this season. It's worth noting that Edmonton did manage to split two meetings in Vancouver last season.

Schedule spot

The Kings have faced a brutal schedule since the middle of January. In fact, they haven't played a home game since way back on January 13th, when they skated to a 1-0 win over the Canucks.

After dropping a 3-0 decision against the red hot Ducks at Dodger Stadium on Saturday night, they'll play in San Jose on Monday, before wrapping up their difficult stretch with a stop in Phoenix on Tuesday. Don't count on the Kings having much left in the tank in the desert.
