NHL Games to watch 2/3/12

Didn't get last night's games in, but there were a few that were good, Flyers-Predators, Red Wings-Canucks.

Anyways, tonight's games, only two to really watch

Los Angeles Kings vs St. Louis Blues
These are two teams fighting for playoff seeding. The Blues currently sit in 5th with 65 points while the Kings sit in 7th with 60 points. It's really going to be a battle of goaltending as the Kings will send out Jonathan Quick and the Blues will most likely counter with Halak who's playing second fiddle to Elliott, but still a damn good goaltender. Expect a 1-0 or 2-1 victory, and it may come in the shootout.

Chicago Blackhawks vs Calgary Flames
Chicago continues their roadtrip of Western Canada and they'll head to Calgary tonight. Calgary is in 11th place in the West, but only 5 points back of Minnesota's 8 spot. Speaking of 8, the Blackhawks got lit up last night by Sam Gagner who tied a record for second-most points in a game with 8 (4 goals, 4 assists). Ray Emery will most likely be in net tonight as the Blackhawks look to rebound from last night's loss.
