Top Budget Plays Centers Christian Dvorak $3300 – The center is a punt play at the least. However, playing against New Jersey may set up very good as the center will get some top line ice time. He is going to get decent opportunities. Dvorak has three points in his last four games. More [...]
Trusting your gut when you’re losing is often a difficult task. It’s understandable to think that changing things up will offer better results, and easy to to make rash decisions.

Buffalo was in Columbus Wednesday a night after their 1-0 win against Detroit. Things didn’t go as well. Columbus as the Blue Jackets skated away with a 5-1 win.
