Preview Roundups
February 02, 2015
Florida at NY Rangers 7:00 PM ET
The New York Rangers snapped a modest two-game skid by igniting an offense that had been dormant following the All-Star break. The Rangers traditionally haven't had any trouble scoring goals when they face the Florida Panthers and hope that stretch continues when the clubs meet at Madison Square Garden on Monday. Chris Kreider scored in New York's 4-1 victory over Carolina on Saturday and also tallied in a 5-2 triumph over Florida on New Year's Eve.
Winnipeg at Calgary 9:00 PM ET
After facing little resistance during a five-game winning streak, the Winnipeg Jets have seen their defense spring a leak to the tune of allowing five goals in each contest during their current three-game slide. The Jets look to fly right when they open a two-game road trip against the Calgary Flames on Monday. Both clubs occupy fourth place in their respective divisions and are clinging to the wild-card slots in the Western Conference playoff picture.
Edmonton at San Jose 10:30 PM ET
The San Jose Sharks attempt to conclude their homestand with their fourth straight victory when they host the Pacific Division-rival Edmonton Oilers on Monday. San Jose improved to 4-1-1 on its seven-game stretch at SAP Center on Saturday with its third consecutive win, a 2-0 triumph over Chicago. There was a key number for Antti Niemi on that evening - Jan. 31 - as the Finnish netminder made 31 saves to secure his 31st career shutout.
