Preview Roundups
January 01, 2017
Detroit at Toronto 3:00 PM ET
The atmosphere won’t be quite the same as three years ago, but a crowd of close to 40,000 is expected when the Detroit Red Wings take on the host Toronto Maple Leafs at BMO Field on Sunday in the Centennial Classic. The Maple Leafs edged the Red Wings 3-2 in a shootout on Jan. 1, 2014 before more than 105,000 at the Big House in Ann Arbor, Mich. with snow falling.
Ottawa at Washington 7:30 PM ET
The Washington Capitals hope to give their penalty-killers some much-needed rest Sunday as they attempt to post back-to-back wins for the first time in more than two weeks when they host the Ottawa Senators. Washington was short-handed nine times in Saturday's 6-2 triumph at New Jersey but did not allow a power-play goal, improving their penalty-killing percentage to 86.9 percent.
Philadelphia at Anaheim 8:00 PM ET
The Philadelphia Flyers were finding different ways to get the job done during their 10-game winning streak earlier this season but seem to have lost the formula. The Flyers have posted just one victory in six contests since the streak ended and hope to ignite their dormant offense when they complete a four-game road trip against the Anaheim Ducks on Sunday.
