Kyle Palmieri hopes to continue his torrid early-season scoring pace when the unbeaten New Jersey Devils host the Dallas Stars on Tuesday. Palmieri set a Devils record for the most goals by a player through the first three games of a season with six to help his team to a 3-0-0 start after scoring twice for the third consecutive contest in Sunday's 3-2 home victory over San Jose.

Growing pains usually hurt - especially for veterans who might be impatient to win - and the New York Rangers are enduring them as they host the Colorado Avalanche on Tuesday. The Rangers, who started the rebuilding process by unloading big names such as Rick Nash, Ryan McDonagh and J.T. Miller at the trade deadline last season, lost 2-1 to Edmonton on Saturday for their fourth setback in five games to start a campaign which could be a long one in the Big Apple.

The Philadelphia Flyers arguably played their best game of the season in the last outing, but their near-complete effort resulted in a hard-luck 1-0 loss to three-time Stanley Cup champion Marc-Andre Fleury and Vegas. The Flyers will bid for their first win of the season at Wells Fargo Center on Tuesday when they host a team that has yet to taste victory regardless of venue in the Florida Panthers.

Two-time Stanley Cup-winning goaltender Matt Murray is expected to return to the ice as the Pittsburgh Penguins host the Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday before embarking on a four-game trek through Canada. Murray has been sidelined with a concussion that he sustained during a practice on Oct. 8.

The Carolina Hurricanes hope to continue creating abundant opportunities in the offensive end and start another winning streak when they visit the Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday night to end a three-game trip. The Hurricanes lead the league in shots per game (42.3) and recorded 43 on Sunday despite suffering a 3-1 setback at Winnipeg, after scoring 21 times while winning four in a row.

The Arizona Coyotes have yet to find their offensive groove this season, as they have been shut out in three of their first four contests. They attempt to make a rare appearance on the scoreboard Tuesday as they visit the Minnesota Wild for the opener of their four-game road trip.

Connor McDavid led the NHL in points each of the past two seasons and is off to a hot start again, but needs help from his fellow Edmonton Oilers entering Tuesday’s road contest at the Winnipeg Jets. McDavid has scored twice with three assists in three games, but the Oilers have scored five goals in a disjointed start to the season that opened with a loss to New Jersey in Sweden and an ugly setback in Boston before Edmonton beat the Rangers in New York 2-1 on Saturday.

The Buffalo Sabres upended Vegas last week while the latter was playing the second contest of a five-game road trip. The Golden Knights will have a chance for revenge and to even their season series on Tuesday when the roles are reversed with the Sabres making the trek to T-Mobile Arena.
