Obviously, the primary objective is to secure home ice in Round 1 but also to fine-tune things before the real season begins on April 9/10. Cassidy is hinting Pasta will be back later this week and it will take a few games for him to be fully ready.
The game a week from now in Tampa will be one to watch. I think both teams will use that game to send a message for the playoffs, the game in Boston on April 6th I suspect will be Syracuse vs Providence.
Toronto's last 10 is more evenly split - 4 home/ 6 away but I can't see them picking up 4 points over the Bruins.
I fully expect the real season begins on April 11th at the Garden against Toronto.
