Looking Ahead: A Wild Week
Andrew Santillo
2022-12-11
Editor's note: Congratulations to Looking Ahead writer Andrew Santillo, who just got married last weekend! Because of his recent nuptials and honeymoon afterward, he was only able to provide a chart this week. The writeup will return next week. We wish Andy all the best in wedded life!
If you are planning ahead for next week (Monday December 12 to Sunday December 18), numerous teams play four games. The Minnesota Wild appear to have one of the most favorable schedules with four home games. Meanwhile, the Vancouver Canucks are the only team to play just two games, which may give you enough reason to bench any of their players.
For more on the schedule for next week, see the Schedule Planner at Frozen Tools, which you can customize to your needs.
This period runs through December 9th to December 21st

Hi Andy. Congrats on the new family member. I am wondering if maybe you’ve written somewhere about a formula you might use to determine the ratings #’s to the left. If so maybe you could leave a link to it here?? IF, when you have time. Are road games taken into account? Does that even matter any more? Thanks for doing articles and charts. Marty
Hey Terry,
Thank you so much! I have not written about the formula we use this season, but I’ll take a look at it and explain it a bit more once I return next week.
Thank you again for the well wishes and for reading along! Cheers. Andrew
Thanks for replying Andrew. Really looking forward to learning a bit about the formula when you get a chance. All the best with new baby. Marty
