Buffalo at New Jersey 7:00 PM ET
The New Jersey Devils aim for the first victory on their own ice in more than a month when they begin a five-game homestand Monday against the Buffalo Sabres. New Jersey has gone 0-5-2 at Prudential Center since blanking Boston 3-0 on Jan. 2 but is coming off its sixth consecutive road win, a 5-1 triumph at Columbus on Saturday in which Taylor Hall scored twice to end a seven-game drought.
Toronto at NY Islanders 7:00 PM ET
The Toronto Maple Leafs ended their three-game slide in wild fashion last time out and look to build off that emotion when they visit the New York Islanders on Monday. The Maple Leafs squandered 4-1 and 5-4 leads before James van Riemsdyk’s late goal gave them a 6-5 victory at Boston on Saturday that put them in position to finish their six-game road trip (2-3-0) with a .500 record.
St. Louis at Philadelphia 7:00 PM ET
The Philadelphia Flyers have been downright stingy at home of late and hope to continue the trend Monday, when they host the St. Louis Blues. Philadelphia has allowed just one goal in each of its last three contests at Wells Fargo Center, including Saturday's 1-0 overtime loss to Los Angeles that dropped the club to 1-0-1 on its five-game homestand.
