Preview Roundups
February 08, 2016
New Jersey at NY Rangers 7:00 PM ET
The New York Rangers look to extend their winning streak, as well as avenge their only loss of the month, Monday when they take on the visiting New Jersey Devils for the second time in seven days. The Rangers dropped a 3-2 decision at New Jersey on Tuesday but bounced back with victories over Minnesota and Philadelphia, the latter coming in a shootout.
Anaheim at Pittsburgh 7:00 PM ET
The Anaheim Ducks attempt to extend their winning streak and climb into second place in the Pacific Division when they begin a season-high seven-game road trip against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Monday. Anaheim has posted a campaign-best six consecutive victories to pull within one point of San Jose for second in the Pacific and eight of Los Angeles for the top spot.
Tampa Bay at Ottawa 7:30 PM ET
The Ottawa Senators finally produced a solid 60-minute performance last time out, but the challenge becomes much stiffer Monday as they host the red-hot Tampa Bay Lightning. The Senators, who had dropped five of their previous six games, rolled to a 6-1 victory over Toronto on Saturday to avoid dropping under .500 for the first time this season.
Florida at Detroit 7:30 PM ET
Jaromir Jagr is slated to become the 10th player in NHL history to reach 1,600 games Monday, when he and the Florida Panthers visit the Atlantic Division-rival Detroit Red Wings. The 43-year-old Jagr, who is tied with Jonathan Huberdeau for the team lead with 37 points, has scored 738 career goals – three shy of Brett Hull for third place on the all-time list – as Florida looks to extend its point streak to seven games.
