MacKinnon providing pop at Pepsi Center
Nathan MacKinnon has been a revelation for the Colorado Avalanche and it's become clear that the youngster loves playing in the Pepsi Center.
MacKinnon has 10-points (two goals, eight assists) during the playoffs, which happens to be the most of any player. What's astonishing about those 10-points is that MacKinnon has scored everyone of them when the Avs played at home. That means that MacKinnon has averaged over 3-points a game at the Pepsi Center in the playoffs.
Colorado are -132 home favs to top the Minnesota Wild (+122) and book their trip to Round 2 Wednesday.
Panthers GM high on Barry Trotz
The Florida Panthers announced Tuesday that they have fired interim head coach Peter Horachek. Horachek replaced head coach Kevin Dineen on Nov.8 and led the Panthers to a 26-34-6 record over the final 66 games of the season as Florida missed the postseason for the 12th time in 13 seasons.
Horachek’s dismissal means that the Panthers are now one of three NHL teams with a head coaching vacancy along with the Capitals and Nashville Predators.
Don’t be surprised to hear the names Peter Laviolette and Barry Trotz – two names that have been linked to the Capitals’ head coaching vacancy this week- bandied about as the Panthers look to hire a 13th head coach in the franchise’s 21-year history.
“Barry Trotz is one hell of a coach,” Tallon told reporters Tuesday in South Florida.
Trotz went 557-479-60-100 in 15 seasons with Nashville, and led the Predators to the Stanley Cup Playoffs in seven of eight years from 2004-2012. Trotz could be seen as an ideal fit for Florida given his prior success in a non-traditional hockey market with young teams built from the goal line out.

1A Boston vs. 2A Montreal
Bruins: 54-18-9, 117 points
Canadiens: 46-28-8, 100 points
Season series: The Habs took three of four meetings from their division rivals, including both matchups at TD Garden. In all three losses, the Bruins were limited to one goal, while Boston has lost six of its last seven meetings to Montreal since March 2013.
Previous playoff outcome: Montreal swept Tampa Bay in the opening round, while scoring at least four goals in three of those victories. After losing the series opener to Detroit, the Bruins rolled off four consecutive wins to advance to the second round for the fifth time in six seasons. The last time these Original Six rivals hooked up in the postseason, the Bruins outlasted the Canadiens in seven games of the opening round of the 2011 playoffs.
1M Pittsburgh vs. 2M N.Y. Rangers
Penguins: 51-24-6, 108 points
Rangers: 45-31-6, 96 points

Previous playoff outcome: The Rangers alternated wins and losses with the Flyers, but found a way to advance in seven games. The Penguins and Blue Jackets played five games decided by a goal (all coincidentally 4-3), but Pittsburgh finished off Columbus in six games. Pittsburgh eliminated New York in five games of the second round in the 2008 playoffs, as the Pens ultimately lost to the Red Wings in the Stanley Cup Finals.

The first three meetings finished ‘over’ the total, while the final contest was decided in a shootout, won by the Blackhawks at the United Center in early April.
Previous playoff outcome: Both these clubs overcame 2-0 deficits in the opening round, as the Wild rallied past the Avalanche in seven games, winning the finale in overtime on the road. Chicago climbed out of a 2-0 hole against St. Louis to claim the final four games, while scoring 12 goals in the last three wins. The Blackhawks knocked out the Wild in the opening round of last season’s playoffs in five games, with three of those victories coming by at least three goals.
1P Anaheim vs. 3W Los Angeles
Ducks: 53-20-8, 114 points
Kings: 46-28-8, 100 points

Previous playoff outcome: Los Angeles salvaged its season after falling behind San Jose, 3-0, as the Kings stole the final four games to eliminate their division rivals in seven games. Anaheim owned its home-ice with three victories at home against Dallas, while staving off the Stars in six games. This is the first time these two Southern California teams have met in the playoffs in franchise history.
