The elite centers lacing up the skates tonight offer favorable matchups. Red Wings playmaker Zetterberg is worth his hefty price tag and poised for a big night, facing the Maple Leafs' atrocious defense. The Kings host the Arizona Coyotes, a team that surrendered the fourth-most shots in the league a season ago. Add in an inconsistent Ariona blue line and you have an intriguing match up for snipers Carter and Kopitar.
