Preview Roundups
January 10, 2017
Philadelphia at Buffalo 7:00 PM ET
The Buffalo Sabres are starting the new year in a much better manner than they ended the last, answering a 1-4-2 stretch to conclude 2016 with two wins in their last three outings. The Sabres look to continue their good fortune against the reeling Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday when the teams meet at KeyBank Center.
Columbus at Carolina 7:00 PM ET
The Columbus Blue Jackets have been the league's hottest team over the past 6 1/2 weeks, but their next opponent has been nearly as unbeatable -- at least on their home ice. The NHL-leading Blue Jackets kick off a three-game southern road trip when they visit the Carolina Hurricanes in a matchup of Metropolitan Division rivals.
Boston at St. Louis 8:00 PM ET
David Backes returns to the city where he spent the first 10 seasons of his career when the Boston Bruins continue their four-game road trip with a visit to the St. Louis Blues on Tuesday night. Although Backes already faced his former teammates in Boston in November, it will be first time playing at Scottrade Center since leaving as a free agent after last season.
Vancouver at Nashville 8:00 PM ET
The Vancouver Canucks had been living a charmed existence during their season-high six-game winning streak, but their struggles on the road reared their ugly head to begin their current three-game trek. With just five wins away from British Columbia, the Canucks look to find the right note on Tuesday when they visit Music City to face the Nashville Predators.
Detroit at Chicago 8:30 PM ET
The Chicago Blackhawks will try to complete a perfect four-game homestand when they host the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday night in a matchup of Original Six rivals. The Blackhawks were mired in a 1-4-1 tailspin that included three straight defeats at United Center before rebounding with three consecutive victories.
San Jose at Edmonton 9:00 PM ET
The San Jose Sharks are hoping their new-found offense can help them remain on top of the Pacific Division. Fresh off a season-high goal total, the first-place Sharks begin a two-game trek of Alberta on Tuesday when they visit the upstart Edmonton Oilers.
Dallas at Anaheim 10:00 PM ET
The Anaheim Ducks were on quite the roll at home, going 7-0-1 before dropping a 2-1 decision to Minnesota on Sunday. The Ducks look to begin a new streak Tuesday as they wrap up a five-game homestand against the Dallas Stars.
