The NHL has continued to dominate the news cycle over the last week. With Covid-19 beginning to loom large over the league once again, multiple teams have been shut down or had games postponed.
With one month remaining in the year, happy December to hockey fans everywhere. It is hard to believe that the 2021 NHL season is already almost two months, in the books.
The third full week of the 2021-2022 NHL season is nearing completion. Much to the dismay of hockey fans everywhere, Covid-19 has continued to loom large over the league.
Welcome to another one of our Season Previews! This time around, we’ll discuss the Winnipeg Jets. Last season ended shockingly for the Jets after being swept by the Montreal Canadiens in the second round of the playoffs.
During the 2021 NHL Entry Draft, the Winnipeg Jets made four total selections. There were no draft day trades made by general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff who seemed just fine to stand pat where the team was at.
It may have had its ups and downs, but overall it was a good season for the Winnipeg Jets. They ended the season finishing third in the North Division, putting them up against the Edmonton Oilers in the first round of the playoffs.
We knew the Canadian division would be chaotic, so of course, the division finals would be between two teams without much to look into. Both teams embarrassed others in the first round.
Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl formed the best duo in the NHL during the 2020-21 season. The two have only appeared in three playoff series as members of the Edmonton Oilers, and not until now have they matched up against a Canadian foe in the postseason.
The ongoing saga and proverbial dark cloud that was Pierre-Luc Dubois and the Columbus Blue Jackets has finally come to an end. On Saturday morning, the Blue Jackets sent Dubois, along with a third-round draft pick in 2022 to the Winnipeg Jets in exchange for Jack Roslovic and scoring winger Patrik Laine.
Welcome back to Ice Picks, and thank you to those following along as we try to breakdown these NHL cards. Thursday we split our picks as the Devils, thanks to a 47 save performance by Mackenzie Blackwood, edged out the Rangers. Things were evened out with another supreme goaltending performance as Brian Elliot and the Flyers blanked the Sabres 3-0. Tonight we are going slightly conservative again as we back some favorites. Let’s hop right in pick some winners, time for Ice Picks.
Ten game slates are sometimes hard to decipher. There are many matchups to consider and numbers to sort through. The most important thing is to not play too many lineups because you can’t decide between lines to play or narrow your overall player pool.
Saturday night is usually a big night in NHL and tonight is no different as we have 11 games to choose from on the main slate. Tonight the focus will be Boston hosting the Devils, the Jets and Blackhawks in Chicago, the surging Carolina Hurricanes looking to stay undefeated versus the Blue Jackets and the Maple Leafs looking to rebound at Detroit. Let’s drop the puck and make some Ice Picks.
