Preview Roundups
February 11, 2018
Pittsburgh at St. Louis 12:00 PM ET
The St. Louis Blues are coming off a pair of strong performances as they host the Pittsburgh Penguins in a nationally televised game Sunday afternoon for their third contest in four days. St. Louis earned a 5-2 victory at Winnipeg on Friday night - its first contest without top three defenseman Joel Edmundson, who broke his forearm in Thursday's 6-1 victory over Colorado - as it handed the Jets only their fourth regulation loss at home this season (20-4-2).
NY Rangers at Winnipeg 3:00 PM ET
The Winnipeg Jets are a contending team rumored to be seeking help at the trade deadline, and Sunday provides an up-close and personal opportunity to see some of the talent on the market when they host the New York Rangers. New York's leadership issued a letter this week telling fans, in essence, that trades of core pieces may be coming, a decision made after the Rangers opened February by being outscored 17-4 in four consecutive losses.
Detroit at Washington 3:00 PM ET
The fading Detroit Red Wings will try to recover from a demoralizing loss when they finish a quick two-game trip against the Washington Capitals on Sunday afternoon. The Red Wings were cruising along with a three-goal lead and less than seven minutes left Friday before a major penalty to Tyler Bertuzzi led to four power-play goals and eventually a 7-6 overtime loss against the New York Islanders.
Vancouver at Dallas 4:00 PM ET
The Dallas Stars look to extend their winning streak to a season-high six games and continue dominance in the series when they host the struggling Vancouver Canucks on Sunday afternoon. The Stars have won all five games in February, allowing eight goals combined, after edging Pittsburgh 4-3 in a shootout Friday and have not lost in regulation in the last 14 games against Vancouver (13-0-1).
Colorado at Buffalo 7:00 PM ET
The Buffalo Sabres may have to try to match their longest winning streak of the season without their leading scorer when they host the Colorado Avalanche on Sunday. Jack Eichel, who tops the Sabres in goals (22), assists (31) and points, departed Saturday's 4-2 victory at Boston in the first period with an apparent lower-body injury and did not return.
Boston at New Jersey 7:00 PM ET
With their overall winning streak now a thing of the past, the Boston Bruins look to continue their road dominance when they visit the New Jersey Devils on Sunday. Boston had its string of overall wins snapped at four with Saturday's 4-2 loss to Buffalo but is riding a six-game road winning streak and is 10-0-2 away from home since falling at Nashville on Dec. 4.
Calgary at NY Islanders 7:00 PM ET
The New York Islanders look to build off the emotion of a miraculous victory last time out when they continue a four-game homestand with a matchup against the Calgary Flames on Sunday night. The Islanders scored four times on a five-minute power play late in the third period to erase a three-goal deficit and went on to defeat Detroit 7-6 in overtime Friday, improving to 2-1-1 in their last four.
Philadelphia at Vegas 8:00 PM ET
The Vegas Golden Knights finished a satisfying six-game road trip with four wins and look to continue their dominance on home ice Sunday as they host the Philadelphia Flyers. The expansion Golden Knights are kicking off a seven-game homestand and improved to 19-3-2 at T-Mobile Arena by knocking off Pacific Division-rival San Jose 5-3 on Thursday.
San Jose at Anaheim 8:00 PM ET
The Anaheim Ducks have been superb at home of late, winning seven of their last eight contests at Honda Center. Anaheim looks to avenge its only loss in that stretch when it hosts the Pacific Division-rival San Jose Sharks on Sunday.
