Happy Tuesday everyone.
There are 12 games in the NHL tonight and we’ll be involved in 4 of them. Site Supporters can see our personal card below.
We’ll be paying close attention in Nashville tonight to see how the Predators respond to the coaching change.
Yesterday, Peter Laviolette was relieved of his duties and John Hynes will take over head coaching responsibilities moving forward.
And in case you haven’t seen it, Connor McDavid’s goal against the Leafs last night is worth watching multiple times…
Good luck on whatever you play tonight!
