JC declined to make any picks on Monday night and deferred first pick to Adam today. Both of them went 4-2 on Saturday night. It's a ten game night in the NHL, but Adam called it a "Poo pile to pick from" after the first 3 picks.  

ADAM (43-32): NY Rangers (1st), New Jersey (2nd), Ottawa (6th), Washington (8th), Philadelphia (9th)
*Ottawa upset

JC (46-29): Montreal (2nd), Pittsburgh (3rd), Colorado (5th), Dallas (7th), Los Angeles (10th)

WHAT WE'RE WATCHING TONIGHT

ADAM - This is a layup - it's the first meeting between  the generational talents of the past two decades. Connor McDavid and Sidney Crosby meet for the first time, and both teams are coming in hot. Pittsburgh just wrapped up a 3-0-1 road trip and sit in second place in the Metropolitan. Edmonton is in the cat bird seat in the Pacific Division, and have won two straight since losing three games in a row. This is the last of the five games on the Oilers road trip. Cam Talbot will be in net for Edmonton, while Matt Murray will be between the pipes for the Pens.

JC - As you know, I'm a sucker for Original Six matchups. This game should be quite the contest for anyone looking for confirmation that Montreal is the real deal. Boston will be coming off of their victory at home against an injury-hampered Sabres. The Canadiens started the season off on a tear and they're looking to continue their dominance. If the Bruins play Rask, then they have a shot. If not, Montreal should roll right over Boston. Look for Shea Weber to introduce himself to this long and storied rivalry early and often.
