Four of Tuesday's five games are first-meeting-of-the-season contests. So going by career numbers, Ales Kotalik of the Rangers has torched the Canucks with 5 goals in seven games, making him a must start. Anaheim's Teemu Selanne has been unstoppable in matchups against the Penguins with almost two points per game. Lastly, Stanley Cup winner Chris Kunitz of Pittsburgh returns to Anaheim for the first time since last year's deadline-day trade.
