The Toronto Maple Leafs snapped a season-high three-game winless skid in style, overcoming an early three-goal deficit with six unanswered tallies to best an Original Six rival. The Maple Leafs bid to ride that momentum against another Atlantic Division adversary on Monday when they host the Buffalo Sabres in the third contest of their four-game homestand.

The Montreal Canadiens saw a three-goal lead in the first period evaporate in short order last time out, as the club fell for the fifth time in seven outings (2-4-1). The Canadiens look to rebound from that demoralizing result and prevent a three-game sweep by the sputtering New Jersey Devils on Monday when the clubs meet at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J.

League-leader Nikita Kucherov reached 100 points for the second straight season last time out and his Tampa Bay Lightning can match that milestone Monday night when they host the struggling Los Angeles Kings. Kucherov scored the only goal as the NHL-best Lightning (98 points) pulled out a 2-1 shootout victory over Buffalo on Thursday to extend their winning streak to eight - one off the club record set in 2016.

The Edmonton Oilers appear to have turned the corner following a demoralizing stretch in which it lost 11 of 12 contests (1-8-3). After answering that run with consecutive victories, the visiting Oilers bid for their second straight triumph following a 13-game winless stretch versus the Nashville Predators when the clubs meet at Bridgestone Arena on Monday.

The Colorado Avalanche have picked themselves off the mat after suffering an eight-game losing streak and are right back in the middle of the Western Conference wild-card race as they prepare to host the Florida Panthers on Monday night. The Avalanche have beaten three teams sitting in playoff position during a four-game winning streak after blanking Nashville 5-0 on Saturday and are one point behind Minnesota for the second wild card.

The Vancouver Canucks and Anaheim Ducks continue to chase a Western Conference wild-card spot when they meet Monday in British Columbia. The clubs, though, will likely be sellers prior to Monday's trade deadline at noon PT with Vancouver losing to the Islanders 4-0 on Saturday for its third straight setback and Anaheim dropping 2-1 decisions at Calgary on Friday and Edmonton a night later.
