NHL Live previews Central, Atlantic on Tuesday
 

It is Central and Atlantic Division day on Cisco NHL Live from 5-7 p.m. ET on the NHL Network with Bill Pidto and EJ Hradek. EJ will break down and give his predictions for the two divisions that each had four teams post over 100 points last season.

Every day this week the NHL Network will be at a different training camp. Tuesday’s stop is in Detroit to see how the Red Wings are dealing with the post-Lidstrom era. We’ll talk with coach Mike Babcock and new top Swedish defenseman Niklas Kronwall, and hear from Henrik Zetterberg.

The Central Division preview continues with guests Joel Quenneville, the Blackhawks coach, and Predators top-flight goalie Pekka Rinne. St. Louis Blues analyst Darren Pang will keep us up to date on the defending Central champions.

 

Last season the Atlantic Division fielded both representatives in the Eastern Conference Finals. Rangers and Devils analysts Joe Micheletti and Ken Daneyko will preview what to expect from these finalists. NHL Network analyst Barry Melrose will stop by and give his predictions for the Atlantic.
