Preview Roundups
January 12, 2016
Columbus at NY Islanders 7:00 PM ET
The New York Islanders dominated their Metropolitan Division adversaries by posting at least a point in each of their first nine meetings (7-0-2) before losing their last three encounters. The Islanders look to regain their footing at the expense of the Columbus Blue Jackets when the cellar-dwelling team makes its first trip to the Barclays Center on Tuesday.
Pittsburgh at Carolina 7:00 PM ET
Scintillating special teams play has enabled the Pittsburgh Penguins to get back on track after a disastrous five-game losing skid. With points in seven of their last nine games (5-2-2), the Penguins look to continue their ascent in the Metropolitan on Tuesday when they visit the division-rival Carolina Hurricanes.
New Jersey at St. Louis 8:00 PM ET
Having put an end to a five-game losing streak, the battered and bruised St. Louis Blues will open a four-game homestand against the New Jersey Devils on Tuesday night. The Blues lost five players to injury in a pair of weekend games versus Anaheim and Los Angeles and four of them, including No. 1 goaltender Jake Allen, are listed as week-to-week.
Buffalo at Minnesota 8:00 PM ET
Consistency continues to elude the Minnesota Wild, who look to bounce back from a lackluster defeat when they host the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday night in the second of a three-game homestand. One night after skating to a 2-1 victory at Western Conference-leading Dallas, Minnesota suffered a 2-1 setback to the New Jersey Devils.
San Jose at Winnipeg 8:00 PM ET
The San Jose Sharks attempt to string together three straight victories for the first time since November when they visit the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday. San Jose outscored Toronto and Calgary by a combined 12-4 in back-to-back triumphs and vies for its first three-game winning streak since capturing six in a row from Nov. 13-22.
Nashville at Chicago 8:30 PM ET
Patrick Kane offered quite the understatement after propelling the red-hot Chicago Blackhawks to their season-high seventh straight victory. After telling reporters that the reigning Stanley Cup champions are "trending in the right direction," Kane and the Blackhawks look to keep the visiting Nashville Predators spiraling down the standings on Tuesday when the Central Division rivals meet at the United Center.
Tampa Bay at Colorado 9:00 PM ET
Defenseman Tyson Barrie is on track for a second straight 50-point season and looks to build off an award-winning week when his Colorado Avalanche host the Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday. Barrie recorded six points during a three-game winning streak before being blanked in the 6-3 loss at Chicago on Sunday and was named the NHL’s Third Star of the Week.
Edmonton at Arizona 9:00 PM ET
The Arizona Coyotes attempt to extend their winning streak to four games when they continue their season-high seven-game homestand against the Pacific Division-rival Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday. Arizona has earned at least one point in five straight games (4-0-1) and nine of its last 10 (7-1-2), including Saturday's 4-0 triumph over Nashville in the opener of its lengthy stretch at Gila River Arena.
