OUTLOOK: Theyve been among the NHLs best regular-season teams the last few seasons, and one of the stingiest, too. Last season they allowed the third-fewest goals, plus defencemen Alex Pietrangelo and Kevin Shattenkirk are highly productive joining the rush. They appear to have enough firepower to contend for an ever-elusive first Stanley Cup, although as usual theres plenty of competition at the top of the Western Conference. ' ' '
