The 2013 NHL Entry Draft is upon us and although the Habs don't pick until 25th overall this year, they still should be poised to add some quality prospects to the fold by the end of the day.

Hamilton (30-39-1-5) looks to end the season on a winning note as they host division rival Rochester (42-29-3-1) in the season finale for both teams. With Rochester clinching a playoff spot last night, I wonder if they may be resting a few players. Collberg should return to the lineup after sitting last night. Projected Rochester Lines:(based on last games' +/- data) Ellis - Larsson - Mancari Rissmiller - Girgensons - Rankin Tarnasky - McCormick - Tropp Lagace - Schofield - Roy Crawford - Biega Schiestel - MacKenzie Bailen - Gauthier-Leduc Hackett Projected Hamilton Lines: Hudon - Tenute - Collberg Kristo - Nokelainen - Leblanc Archambault - Bournival - Lefebvre Hagel - Vail - Stortini Beaulieu - Pateryn St. Denis - Stejskal Tinordi - Ellis Gervais-Chouinard Puck drop is at 3:00 PM, Funny820 as always will have the play-by-play; click the banner below to listen.

The final stretch of the season begins tonight as Hamilton (28-39-1-5) hosts St. John's (31-35-3-4) in a battle of teams already mathematically eliminated from the playoffs. Sebastian Collberg is expected to make his AHL debut in this one and in doing so, will become the youngest player in the league...surpassing Charles Hudon. Michael Bournival and Patrick Holland both left the last game with injury so I've pulled them from the projected lineup until we hear otherwise. Projected St. John's Lines: (based on +/- data from last game) Klingberg - Jaffray - Sawada Maxwell - O'Dell - Macenauer Schnell - Lowry - Ezekiel Lunden - Tousignant O'Neill - Melchiori Ramsey - Arsene Cuility - Godfrey Sol Dekanich Projected Hamilton Lines: Hudon - Tenute - Collberg Archambault - Nokelainen - Leblanc Kristo - Belzile - Lefebvre Hagel - Vail - Stortini Beaulieu - Pateryn Tinordi - Stejskal St. Denis - Ellis Mayer Puck drop is at 7:30 PM, Funny820 as always will have the play-by-play; click the banner below to listen.
