Three games start off the schedule at 7PM. The

Panthers

, fresh off a 5-3 win over the Islanders and minus one GM Michael Yormark in the front office, face off in Boston against the

Bruins

. The Bruins are poised for a deep playoff run, while Florida should probably make a splash before the trade deadline much like what is expected of the

Flames

. The

Detroit Red Wings

will visit the

New Jersey Devils

, and the

Dallas Stars

face off in Columbus against the

Blue Jackets

. At 8PM, four more games hit the ice. The

Colorado Avalanche

look to continue closing on the Division leading Black Hawks in Chicago. Both are almost already locks for the postseason, and look to be buyers headed for the deadline. Also on tap are the

St. Louis Blues

hosting the

Tampa Bay Lightning

, the Nashvile

Predators

hosting the

Pittsburgh Penguins

, and the

New York Islanders

visiting the

Winnipeg Jets

. At 9PM, the

Vancouver Canucks

head south to try and stay in the playoff race. They've only won once in their last 10 games, and the

Phoenix Coyotes

are only one point behind. The

Ottawa Senators

travel to Edmonton to take on the "not nearly as good as Calgary"

Oilers

at 9:30, and the

Sharks

close out the schedule by hosting the

Carolina Hurricanes

at 10:30 PM.Of course, the big news figures to be whatever happens on the wire. You can trust Matchsticks and Gasoline to keep our ear to the rail on any and all news.
