Goals Against - a low ranking means they let in lots of goals (Columbus is letting in 3.25 goals against per game, they are ranked #1).
Goals for - the lower the ranking the more the team scores (Washington is scoring the most goals for per game at 3.37 and is the number 1 ranking).
So you want to face a team with a low GA and a high GF. This is based off this seasons goals for and against, it will be updated as the season progresses to be a larger aggregate of this year.

Favorable Offensive Matchups:
Montreal Canadiens. Home and away vs. Columbus. That spells potential success for Max Pacioretti and P.K. Subban
Dallas Stars. The second best offense faces the third worst defense (Calgary).
Minnesota Wild. Arizona Coyotes are the 4th worst defensive team. Zach Parise needs to make up some ground as he is having a slow year.
Unfavorable Offensive Matchups:
Carolina Hurricanes. Chicago is never an easy matchup but Crawford is having an especially strong year in net this year.
Toronto Maple Leafs. Florida Panthers and Tampa Bay Lightning are both strong on defense with Roberto Luongo and Ben Bishop holding strong in net. There will be lots of shots under Mike Babocks system but few will go in.
Philadelphia Flyers. Boston Bruins and Washington Capitals both have strong goalies and the Flyers are already having trouble scoring.
Pittsburgh Penguins. Cory Schneider is having a career year in New Jersey.
Favorable Defensive Matchups:
Ottawa Senators. Buffalo Sabres hope to be scoring more but for the time being Ryan O'Reilly is the only one succeeding. A good week for Craig Anderson
NY Rangers. Also facing the Sabres. Favorable week for Henrik Lundqvist
Boston Bruins. Philadelphia and Anaheim two normally strong offensive teams who can't buy a goal now.
Unfavorable Defensive Matchups:
Philadelphia Flyers. Avoid them as much as possible this week. Boston and Washington are both strong.
Anaheim Ducks. The Bruins have been electric especially on the power play with Patrice Bergeron and Loui Ericksson.
Buffalo Sabres. New York Rangers and Ottawa Senators both on the road.
