Stastny hurt right now doesn't help them, but the big question mark for them was how their goaltending was going to be.
Nashville is playing unreal right now, and I would not be surprised at all if they took the division. Rinne back, Weber, Josi, Jones, etc on D, Neal for offense, they're looking like a real good team. Chicago is chicago, baring some crazy injuries, they should be a playoff team. And Dallas and Minnesota are real strong as well. St. Louis is going to have a real tough time this year, and a poor start now is not going to help
