There's two matchups on the schedule you'll definitely want to exploit today: Columbus at Buffalo and Winnipeg at New York. Johansen and Dubinsky had an easy matchup to begin with facing the woeful Sabres, but they'll get to face Chad Johnson rather than the injured Robin Lehner. Little and Scheifele should go to town on Thomas Greiss while Jaroslav Halak remains sidelined.
