Shawn Thornton on Nikolai Khabibulin - @kluedeke29
I used to light him up all the time in practice in Chicago, so it should be easy. Should get about 12 tonight.

The Fourth Line Has Been Dominated - Cult of Hockey
On paper, the fourth line has been upgraded in a big way from the rag-tag group of last season. Ben Eager brings the crash and bang of a Jacques or Stortini, as well as the ability to play a regular shift. With snake-bitten Colin Fraser departed for California, Anton Lander adds not just potential but boosts the scoring threat on the line. Big, capable Lennart Petrell can kill penalties, doesn’t mind the rough stuff, and has looked at times like a defensive gem. Looking at possession and territorial metrics, though, the line isn’t getting the job done.
G15 Oilers at Bruins - Lowetide
Edmonton has about a 5% chance of winning tonight. Bruins aren't all the way healthy but they are skilled, big, mean and Chara.
