Preview Roundups
January 02, 2017
Chicago at St. Louis 1:00 PM ET
The St. Louis Blues finally get an opportunity to host their first outdoor game when the arch-rival Chicago Blackhawks pay a visit Monday afternoon for the Winter Classic at Busch Stadium. The forecast calls for warmer temperatures and a chance of rain as the Blues become the 11th team to play in the annual contest while the Blackhawks are 0-2-0 in their Winter Classic appearances in 2009 and 2015.
Boston at New Jersey 7:00 PM ET
The Boston Bruins are getting contributions from more players in the offensive end and hope to continue that trend when they visit the struggling New Jersey Devils on Monday night. David Pastrnak didn't add to his team-leading 19 goals in the last six straight games, but the Bruins stand 3-1-1 in their last five contests and climbed closer to the top of the Atlantic Division.
Colorado at Vancouver 10:00 PM ET
The Vancouver Canucks ride a three-game winning streak for the first time since opening the season 4-0-0 and are suddenly three points out of playoff position in the Western Conference. The Canucks look to continue their rise Monday night when they host the struggling Colorado Avalanche, who own the least points in the league (25) after losing eight of their last nine.
