San Jose Sharks—The Sharks have taken 13 of their last 18 games, including wins over Vancouver, Colorado, and Detroit. Goaltender Evgeni Nabokov has three shutouts in that span. The Sharks have struggled under high expectations the last few years, but are finally starting to live up to the hype, with a comfortable lead in the Pacific Division.
Colorado Avalanche—Winning 11 of their last 14 games, Colorado is starting to fire on all cylinders, which is bound to scare the entire Western Conference. Now, if they could only get Peter Forsberg back to 100 percent health.
Tampa Bay Lightning—Tampa Bay is averaging nearly four goals per game in their last 10, riding the red-hot play of diminutive winger Martin St. Louis to the top of the Southeast Division. |
