Colorado is still the favorite to win the Central Division, going 5-0-1 despite the absence of Mackenzie Blackwood and slow start by Gabriel Landeskog. We all know the big names and talent there and what they have done in the past.

Utah, formerly known as Arizona, has been a bot of a laughingstock. But no more. The offense is littered with youn players on the upswing while Karel Vejmelka has morphed into a true #1 goalie.

I therefore ask - with no disrespect meant to Winnipeg or Dallas - is today's game a possible battle for the divisional preview? The likelihood os no, but as we know, teams coalesce out of nowhere. This may be the case again.
