Players To Watch:

Toronto Maple Leafs

John Tavares has been playing well for the Leafs this season; to the tune of contract extension talks. At 34 years of age, being a near point per game player is quite impressive.

Dallas Stars

Matt Duchene has been lighting up the scoresheet and leading Dallas in all offensive categories. In the absence of Tyler Seguin, Duchene will need to keep his torrid pace until the Stars can make additions.
