Preview Roundups
January 14, 2019
Colorado at Toronto 7:00 PM ET
The Colorado Avalanche's pronounced woes on the road grow worse with each passing game while the Toronto Maple Leafs haven't been too keen about their recent performances at home, either. The Avalanche bid to end a seven-game road losing skid on Monday when they visit Scotiabank Arena to face the Maple Leafs, who fell for the fourth time in their last five home contests with Saturday's 3-2 setback versus Boston.
Chicago at New Jersey 7:00 PM ET
While Patrick Kane and Alex DeBrincat are pumping in points on the scoreboard, the Chicago Blackhawks are letting them slip away in the standings. Kane and DeBrincat look to continue their respective torrid stretches on Monday when the Blackhawks open a brief two-game road trip against New Jersey Devils at Prudential Center in Newark, N.J.
Minnesota at Philadelphia 7:00 PM ET
The Minnesota Wild were booed out of their own building in their last outing after what Bruce Boudreau labeled as "the worst game that we've played since I've been here as coach." The Wild look to get back in Boudreau's good graces on Monday when they visit the free-falling Philadelphia Flyers at Wells Fargo Center.
St. Louis at Washington 7:00 PM ET
The St. Louis Blues have used the inspiration of a 25-year-old rookie goalie to climb out of last place in the Central Division and look to notch their fifth win in seven games when they visit the Washington Capitals on Monday night. Jordan Binnington allowed just two goals while winning his first three starts during the current revival for the Blues, including 21 saves in Saturday’s 3-1 victory at Dallas.
Montreal at Boston 7:30 PM ET
The Boston Bruins are heating up at just the right time, as the club has won six of seven to reside within two points of second place in the Atlantic Division. The Bruins bid to continue their sizzling stretch on Monday when they host the Montreal Canadiens at TD Garden in the finale of the four-game season series between the Original Six rivals.
Buffalo at Edmonton 9:00 PM ET
The Buffalo Sabres were one of the biggest surprises in the NHL the first two-plus months of the season, but are suddenly sitting outside of playoff position as they begin a three-game Western Canada trip against the Edmonton Oilers on Monday night. The Sabres fell to 2-5-1 after coughing up three unanswered goals in the third period of a 5-3 setback against league-best Tampa Bay on Saturday.
