It seems like this year the NHL has been hit harder with injuries more then in past seasons and it is big named players being injured. Vancouver is staying competitive despite having so many key injuries but how will teams like Washington and Atlanta do without their star players. Week 7 is highlighted with a home and home series between Boston and Pittsburgh, a 4 game home stand for the Blackhawks and an East coast road trip for the Kings.
Games to be played in week 7:
4 Games:Chicago, Los Angeles, Minnesota & San Jose
3 Games: Anaheim, Atlanta, Boston, Buffalo, Calgary, Carolina, Detroit, Edmonton, Montreal, Nashville, New Jersey, Islanders, Ottawa, Pittsburgh, St. Louis, Toronto, Vancouver & Washington
2 Games:Colorado, Columbus, Dallas, Florida, Rangers, Philadelphia, Phoenix & Tampa Bay
When it comes to dressing your players for the upcoming week, especially your goalies, it is important to know which team is on a long road trip and which team is enjoying an extended period at home.
