NHL Horoscopes Week 12: Gemini Mars continues to make an impact

TjOHCGM9PUr2
Mika Zibanejad officially put his slow start behind him with two six-point performances vs. Philly and 18 points in last nine games, and he'll have to keep the momentum going as New York continues its playoff push.

There’s a lot of chaos between it just being Aries season in general, a Gemini Mars cycle that has knocked around two of the best teams in the league, and a potentially dramatic Pisces Mercury.

It’s another week of the NHL and horoscopes where anything can happen, including Leo teams going on a hot streak out of nowhere.

Stat Leaders

Connor McDavid: 63 points, 42 assists (Capricorn)
Auston Matthews: 31 goals (Virgo)
Brendan Lemiuex: 59 PIM (Pisces)
Andrei Vasilevskiy: .930 Save % (Cancer)
