Welcome to March. From a content awareness perspective I will be hopefully starting up some more weekly Ambush podcasts as the Baseball season comes around and maybe something for March Madness.
Overall the plan for Hockey will continue to be coverage between myself and Rob Geriak.
Tonight’s notable items for the slate today include
- The Boston Bruins continue their west coast swing in Anaheim,
- While the Oilers continue their east coast swing in … Philadelphia! Oh joyous of joys that game should present to us.
- Nine games in total

Claude Girioux (Flyers)
You might be as shocked as I was to see that Girioux came in as the top ranked center today on the model, but the Oilers certainly have not been lock down against centers as we know so this is a very interesting spot to look at the Flyers side in a game everyone will be loading up on the visiting Oilers.
Other Centers: Suzuki (MON), Hartman (MIN), Hischier (NJD), Draisaitl (EDM)

Taylor Hall (Bruins)
Boston is wrapping up a west coast trip with tonights game and then a visit to Vegas on Thursday. I note this so that on Thursday you can appropriately hammer the Golden Knights against them after they win 5-1 against the Ducks today. Hall and Pastrnak together on the second line should create havok.
Other Wings: Pastrnak (BOS), Marchessault (VGK), Connor (WPG),

Cale Makar (Avs)
The Avs are going to open a can of whoop-@$$ on the Isles today. Colorado is rocking and should control this game into a fast paced spot. I like Cale to get 3+ SOG tonight, a few blocks and has a great upside to get a multi-point game.
Other Defense: McAvoy (BOS), Andersson (CGY), Pietrangelo (VGK), Hamilton (NJ)

Josh Anderson (Canadiens)
