Preview Roundups
November 09, 2019
Florida at NY Islanders 1:00 PM ET
The New York Islanders saw their 10-game winning streak come to an end last time out with a poor third period, but look to record at least a point for the 12th straight contest when they host the Florida Panthers on Saturday afternoon. The Islanders coughed up a three-goal lead in the final 18:22 of regulation and watched Pittsburgh's Evgeni Malkin score in overtime to halt the second-longest winning streak in club history Thursday.
Buffalo at Tampa Bay 1:00 PM ET
The Tampa Bay Lightning provided a glimpse of what helped them match the NHL regular-season record with 62 wins in 2018-19 during the opener of the Global Series in Stockholm, Sweden, and look to complete a sweep the two-game set with the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday. Reigning Hart Trophy winner Nikita Kucherov scored a brilliant goal, the Lightning added another on their talented power play and then closed out a 3-2 victory over Buffalo on Friday.
Philadelphia at Toronto 7:00 PM ET
The Philadelphia Flyers and Toronto Maple Leafs each worked overtime to win their last game, but that likely seemed like a short day at the office after the clubs navigated through 11 rounds of a shootout last weekend. The Maple Leafs got the better of the Flyers in that marathon and will look to get a leg up on Saturday when they reconvene in Toronto.
Los Angeles at Montreal 7:00 PM ET
The Montreal Canadiens have been rather inconsistent of late while the Los Angeles Kings have consistently struggled this season. The Canadiens will look to rebound from an overtime loss in their last outing when they host the Kings on Saturday night.
Carolina at Ottawa 7:00 PM ET
The Carolina Hurricanes opened the season with five consecutive victories but have come back to earth, sandwiching a pair of three-game skids around a three-game winning streak. With four of their next five on the road, the Hurricanes look to avoid a season-high fourth straight defeat at the Ottawa Senators on Saturday night in the front end of a home-and-home.
Chicago at Pittsburgh 7:00 PM ET
The Pittsburgh Penguins earned their first victory of the season when trailing after two periods last time out and look to build off the inspiring comeback when they host the improving Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday night. The Penguins were down 3-0 entering the final 20 minutes of regulation Thursday before scoring three times and getting an overtime goal from Evgeni Malkin for a 4-3 victory that ended the New York Islanders’ 10-game winning streak.
Vegas at Washington 7:00 PM ET
The Washington Capitals saw their reign as Stanley Cup champions come to an end with a stunning first-round loss in the playoffs last season, but they have the look of the team that will be in the mix for another championship. Owners of the league's best record, the Capitals go for their sixth straight victory when they host the Vegas Golden Knights on Saturday night.
Minnesota at Arizona 8:00 PM ET
The Arizona Coyotes are in the midst of a rugged schedule in November that features nine games in the span of two weeks and includes trips to Western Canada and the East Coast. The Coyotes are more concerned with the present, however, as they attempt to avoid a season-high third consecutive loss when they host the road-weary Minnesota Wild on Saturday night.
Columbus at Colorado 9:00 PM ET
The Colorado Avalanche - or at least what's left of them - try to ride the momentum of a record-breaking offensive explosion when they host the Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday. Colorado snapped a five-game slide after scoring a franchise-record six goals in eight minutes of the second period in a 9-4 victory over Nashville on Thursday without No. 1 goaltender Philipp Grubauer, while defenseman Nikita Zadorov left the game with an upper-body injury.
St. Louis at Calgary 10:00 PM ET
The defending Stanley Cup champion St. Louis Blues try for their seventh straight victory and a three-game sweep through Western Canada when they visit the Calgary Flames on Saturday. St. Louis won the first five by one goal - four in overtime - before making life easier on itself with a 5-2 victory over Edmonton on Wednesday.
Nashville at San Jose 10:30 PM ET
The Nashville Predators are more than willing to move on from their last performance, and for good reason considering the traditionally defensive-minded team was gouged for a franchise-record nine goals. The Predators look to tighten up defensively on Saturday when they visit the San Jose Sharks.
