Teams That May Do Well After The All-Star Break

from ESPN,

Which team will have the best record after the All-Star break?

Scott Burnside: I'm going to go out on a limb here and predict the Tampa Bay Lightning. Yes, it's been a challenge without captain Steven Stamkos, but the Bolts have played 28 road games already, so that means they'll finish up the season with a home-heavy schedule. I am trusting that goalies Ben Bishop and Andrei Vasilevskiy will both return to form in spite of an uneven and -- in the case of Bishop -- injury-marred first half. I'll also add that Nikita Kucherov has a chance to put heat on the rest of the league's top point producers down the stretch.

Pierre LeBrun: Like Scotty, I love the idea of Tampa getting on a run. Maybe if only because I refuse to believe my preseason Stanley Cup pick could miss the playoffs!...
