Well, we had one swap in positions last night, as John B. managed to make up those three points on Benson and get himself back into 4th place, but still sits 15 points back of the leader, Clayton.

There are two big games, of the seven scheduled, where every one of the top six teams have a player going. The Kings and Bruins match-up in Boston has the most potential for points at the top, as a lot of big guns and one goalie will be able to make their mark. Also, the Predators and Sharks have a couple of first round picks going (Joe Thornton and Evgeni Nabokov), both of which will be leaned upon for big points. The goaltending match-up in that game will play a big part, as Pekka Rinne, who also played last night against the Ducks, may get the call again tonight. Granted with the loss, he may get rested in favour of Dan Ellis.

Peter leads the way with players going tonight, with nine, assuming that Rinne gets the start for Nashville. Clayton has eight players tonight, likely getting his start from Brian Elliot, as the Sens are playing against Montreal.
