Approaching the final third stretch of the season, we’re back to the league’s own brand of regularly scheduled programming where the large majority of teams play during the meat of the weekend while only a precious few gear up on either daily side.

That one should be a doozy, especially if Cam Talbot earns the start against his old Edmonton club.
