Ottawa at Winnipeg 7:30 PM ET
The Ottawa Senators wrap up their five-game Western Conference road trip with a visit to the Winnipeg Jets on Wednesday. The Senators are riding a six-game point streak (5-0-1), while Winnipeg is 2-0-2 in its last four contests as it finishes a four-game homestand. Ottawa saw its five-game winning streak come to an end in a 3-2 shootout loss to the Minnesota Wild on Tuesday and could be tired against the Jets, who have not played since Sunday.
NY Rangers at Detroit 8:00 PM ET
Fresh off completing a successful six-game road trip, the Detroit Red Wings face a stern challenge from the red-hot New York Rangers when the Original Six rivals meet at Joe Louis Arena on Wednesday. Tomas Tatar scored to snap a tie in the third period as Detroit posted a 4-3 victory over Nashville on Saturday to win its second straight and finish 4-1-1 on its trek. Tatar also scored with 7.7 seconds remaining in the third in an eventual 4-3 overtime loss to New York on Nov. 5.
Pittsburgh at Colorado 10:00 PM ET
The Pittsburgh Penguins accomplished their mission of adding experience at the blue line prior to Monday's trade deadline and they'll begin to incorporate defensemen Ian Cole and Ben Lovejoy into the lineup when they start a four-game road trip Wednesday against the Colorado Avalanche. Pittsburgh has won four straight and owns a three-game point streak on the road (2-0-1) as it has 20 games left to improve its postseason position.
Montreal at Anaheim 10:00 PM ET
The Anaheim Ducks attempt to extend their winning streak to four games when they host the Eastern Conference-leading Montreal Canadiens on Wednesday. Anaheim, which is tied with Nashville in the race for the Presidents' Trophy - two points ahead of Montreal, has allowed a total of four goals during its current three-game run.
