| | | PITTSBURGH: LAST SEASON: 43-27-12, 98 points. Finished fourth in
Metropolitan Division. Lost to New York Rangers in Eastern
Conference semifinals.
COACH: Mike Johnston (second season).
ADDED: F Phil Kessel, F Eric Fehr, F Matt Cullen, F Sergei
Plotnikov, D Adam Clendening.
LOST: D Paul Martin, D Christian Ehrhoff, F Brandon Sutter, F
Blake Comeau, F Steve Downie, F Nick Spaling, G Thomas Greiss.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Phil Kessel. The Penguins brought in the
three-time All Star from the Maple Leafs to give franchise
cornerstones Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin some much-needed
support. The 28-year-old is hoping a fresh start away from the
crucible in Toronto will help him put up the kind of numbers he
only occasionally flirted with during his six seasons in Canada.
OUTLOOK: Injuries and an offense that struggled to score goals -
a stunning development for a team with two of the game's biggest
stars - led to Pittsburgh's quiet five-game loss to the Rangers
in the first round last spring. General manager Jim Rutherford
provided needed depth by adding Eric Fehr, Matt Cullen and young
Russian Sergei Plotnikov to give the bottom six some punch. If
Kessel can develop chemistry with either Malkin or Crosby and
the defense led by Kris Letang keeps the crease in front of
goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury clear, the Penguins will be in the
postseason for a 10th straight year. Another quick exit,
however, could lead to widespread changes. | | WASHINGTON: LAST SEASON: 45-26-11, 101 points. Second in Metropolitan
Division. Lost to New York Rangers in Eastern Conference
semifinals.
COACH: Barry Trotz (second season, 17th NHL season).
ADDED: F T.J. Oshie, F Justin Williams.
LOST: D Mike Green, F Troy Brouwer, F Joel Ward, F Eric Fehr, F
Curtis Glencross, D Tim Gleason.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Alex Ovechkin. When it comes to the Capitals,
it's always about the three-time NHL MVP and man of many
nicknames - "Alexander the Great," "The Great 8," "Ovi." He just
turned 30, and while he jokes about how he isn't keeping count,
at some point there will arrive a time when his aggressive style
of hit-and-be-hit play will take a toll. Still, Ovechkin scored
53 goals last season, his sixth season getting to the
half-century mark.
OUTLOOK: Not much new here: For a half-dozen years or so, the
Capitals have entered the season with high expectations, often
lived up to them during the regular season, then flopped in the
playoffs. Ovechkin has said it's time to stop talking about
potential and start doing something when the games count the
most. He's never been past the second round of the playoffs and
is 3-6 in Game 7s, so not until spring will everything be
evaluated. |
