The Toronto Maple Leafs answered five consecutive wins to highlight a sizzling start to the season by cooling off with two straight losses. Auston Matthews and company bid to heat up again as the Maple Leafs put their undefeated road record on the line Wednesday against Patrik Laine and the Winnipeg Jets, who are 5-0-1 at Bell MTS Place this season and 14-0-1 dating back to 2017-18.

The New York Islanders make a brief stop at home following a disappointing trek before heading back out on the road when they host the Florida Panthers on Wednesday. New York concluded a 1-3-0 trip with Saturday's 4-1 setback in San Jose and take to the road for three more contests after meeting Florida in just its third home game of the season.

The Tampa Bay Lightning have found their offense since the first two games of the season and will likely need to display the same production when they visit the red-hot Colorado Avalanche on Wednesday night. The Lightning are averaging five goals per game since managing two combined in the first two and face an Avalanche squad which has built a six-game point streak (4-0-2) with a big boost from its top line.

The Vegas Golden Knights have turned the tables on a tough start to the season, winning three straight contests to even their record after eight games. The Golden Knights aim to continue their good fortune and remain unbeaten versus the Vancouver Canucks on Wednesday when the Pacific Division rivals meet at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
