PUCK 'EM - DAY 12 - 10/28/16 & WHAT WE'RE WATCHING THIS WEEKEND

It wasn't a banner night for either Adam or JC. Adam went 2-2 to JC's 1-3, so it allowed Adam to retain home ice and close the one-game gap. Both guys are 27-17 heading in to Friday's six game slate. There are 18 games total on Saturday & Sunday, so there'e plenty of room for movement and for someone to get a lead. 

ADAM (27-17): Anaheim (1st), Edmonton (4th), Chicago (5th)

JC (27-17): Colorado (2nd), NY Rangers (3rd), Calgary (6th)

WHAT WE'RE WATCHING THIS WEEKEND

Adam - I'm picking a bleu, blanc and rouge game for the second time in a row. After extending their winning streak to six games against Tampa Bay Thursday, the Canadiens are looking to make it seven in a row against the rival Maple Leafs. This is their first meeting of the season, so it will be the first time Montreal sees Toronto's youth movement of Auston Matthews, William Nylander & Mitch Marner (who are coming off a 3-2 win over Florida on Thursday). Hockey Night in Canada with the Leafs and Habs never disappoints. 

Toronto @ Montreal - 7PM Eastern Saturday - Bell Centre

JC - The new-look Rangers are now well equipped to face off against the Lightning on Sunday night at the Garden. Both teams have started the season 5-2, but the Blueshirts are on a three game winning streak heading in to tonight's game against Carolina. Tampa Bay will be coming off of a back-to-back after playing New Jersey Saturday, but something tells me they'll be fired up to play against the Rangers. New York has won two of the last three against the Lightniing after losing in the 2014-2015 Eastern Conference Finals. This should be a high tempo and high scoring affair.

Tampa Bay @ NY Rangers - 7PM Eastern Sunday - Madison Square Garden
