Now that the NHL’s trade deadline is in the rear-view mirror, NHL fans know which teams are pushing their chips into the table, and which ones have raised the white flag on the season. Hosts Shawn Drotar (@sdrotar) and Nate Lundy (@natelundy) start with the Metropolitan Division-best Carolina Hurricanes, who were active at the deadline, adding forward Max Domi from Columbus, and he’s expected to be on the ice when the 'Canes host the Dallas Stars tonight. The Stars (73 points) currently hold the last wild-card spot in the West and are trying to put some distance between themselves and pursuers – Vegas (72 points), Winnipeg (70) and Vancouver (70). Tonight’s game looks to be a tough one, as Carolina’s reeled into the Panthers and find themselves tied for the best record in the East. While St. Louis Blues don’t have a realistic chance of catching Colorado in the Central Division, they’re battling back and forth with Minnesota for second place – and home ice advantage in the playoff’s first round. On Thursday, they host the Philadelphia Flyers, who sent Claude Giroux to the Panthers earlier this week. The Flyers are playing out the string; will Jordan Kyrou and the Blues make it a laugher? Finally, the Nashville Predators head to Vegas with an opportunity to bury the Golden Knights more deeply in the wild-card chase; while it's not a do-or-die game for the boys from Sin City… it’s close. Take a quick trip around the hockey betting and DFS world with Shawn and Nate on "Sticks & Stacks!"
