Preview Roundups
January 04, 2015
Boston at Carolina 1:00 PM ET
The Boston Bruins have struggled mightily by dropping 12 of their last 18 games (6-7-5), but Sunday afternoon's road date with the Carolina Hurricanes could be just what coach Claude Julien's team needs to get back on track. After all, the Bruins have won eight in a row against the Hurricanes - including their last four trips to Raleigh, N.C.
Florida at Washington 3:00 PM ET
The Washington Capitals look to build off a spirited victory in the Winter Classic as they vie for their 10th consecutive home triumph over the Florida Panthers on Sunday. Troy Brouwer scored the go-ahead power-play goal against his former team with 12.9 seconds remaining in the third period as Washington improved to 9-1-3 in its last 13 contests with a 3-2 victory over Chicago at Nationals Park on Thursday.
Tampa Bay at Ottawa 7:00 PM ET
The Ottawa Senators have gained five of a possible six points since Christmas and look to continue their upswing when the Tampa Bay Lightning visit on Sunday. Bobby Ryan’s overtime goal gave the Senators a 3-2 victory at Boston on Saturday afternoon to begin a stretch of five games in eight days – four of them on the road – as they try to climb into the playoff chase. Tampa Bay had won four straight contests before a 6-3 loss at Pittsburgh on Friday in the second of a four-game trip.
Dallas at Chicago 8:00 PM ET
The Chicago Blackhawks look to put their Winter Classic setback in the rearview mirror when they open a brief two-game homestand against the Dallas Stars on Sunday. Duncan Keith notched his fifth assist in three games during Chicago's 3-2 loss to Washington at Nationals Park on Thursday and scored in both of the Blackhawks' victories over the Stars this season.
Columbus at Colorado 8:00 PM ET
The Colorado Avalanche look to complete a sweep of their three-game homestand when they face off against the Columbus Blue Jackets in the finale on Sunday. Colorado needed more than 60 minutes in each of the first two games of the stretch at Pepsi Center as it edged Philadelphia in overtime on Wednesday and squeaked past Edmonton 2-1 in a shootout two nights later.
Nashville at Anaheim 8:00 PM ET
The two division leaders in the Western Conference meet for the first time this season when the Nashville Predators visit the Anaheim Ducks on Sunday. The Predators moved into first place in the Central Division after a coughing up a three-goal lead in the final 2:01 of regulation and winning at Los Angeles 7-6 in overtime Saturday, improving to 6-1-1 in eight games. The Ducks boast a league-best 56 points and lead the Pacific Division by nine after going 11-3-1 in their last 15 contests.
NY Islanders at Edmonton 9:30 PM ET
The New York Islanders attempt to extend their point streak as they continue their season-high seven-game road trip against the Edmonton Oilers on Sunday. New York posted a 2-1 victory at Calgary on Friday to improve to 3-0-1 in its last four overall games and 2-0-0 on its lengthy trek. Captain John Tavares scored both goals and Kyle Okposo helped set them up as the Islanders also ran their record to 3-0-1 in their last four road contests.
