Seeing The Future

from Kevin Allen of Rink Rap at USA TODAY, Ten summer predictions for the 2012-13 NHL season — and what could cause them to go awry:

• New York Islanders goalie Rick DiPietro will play as many games in 2012-13 as he has in the past four seasons: That total is 47. It just seems like it’s time for the oft-injured goalie to have some good luck.

The worry: He might not be able to beat out Evgeni Nabokov and will end up as a backup.

• Malkin and Crosby both will score 100 points:Evgeni Malkin is 26 and Sidney Crosby just turned 25, meaning both are entering the primes of their careers. Both have had injury issues. But Malkin is coming off a scoring championship, and Crosby has 103 points in his past 63 games. They seem primed for monstrous seasons.

The worry: A potential lockout could reduce the number of games they play this season.
