The Home Stretch

[Anybodyhome]

April: 7 home games, 7 road games.

Home: Minnesota, Buffalo, NY Islanders, Anaheim, Detroit, Winnipeg, NJ Devils

Road: Buffalo, NY Rangers, Colorado, Arizona, NJ Devils, NY Islanders, NY Rangers

I'd look at this schedule and say they should win every home game in the last month of the season, 14 points. I'd look at the road schedule and say 8 points, maybe 10 if they split with the Rangers. A 20-point month is not out of the question.

Until the totally unnecessary and cheap shot on Jesperi last night, the team is getting healthier by the day and it's a good thing to have a couple healthy scratches when you know the whole team is playing well. I think Lorentz is going to step into KK's spot for the time being.

Any word on KK? Looked like he was holding his ribs.

Haven't seen anything yet. He was flexing his left knee when he was helped into the locker room. Couple things going on- he was holding his ribs and his left knee was also an issue.

I don't know what Ellers history is, but that should warrant a couple games.

Read on ESPN that he couldn't put weight on his leg.
