March 24, 2014
Phoenix at NY Rangers 7:00 PM ET
The New York Rangers look to continue their ascent in the Eastern Conference when they host the Phoenix Coyotes on Monday. Henrik Lundqvist registered his franchise-best 50th shutout on Saturday as the Rangers recorded their third consecutive victory with a 2-0 triumph over New Jersey. Third-place New York remained one point behind surging Philadelphia in the Metropolitan Division, with the Flyers visiting Madison Square Garden on Wednesday.
Los Angeles at Philadelphia 7:00 PM ET
The Philadelphia Flyers attempt to complete a perfect four-game homestand and extend their overall winning streak to six contests when they host the Los Angeles Kings on Monday. After getting trounced by San Jose in its first game back from the Olympic break, Philadelphia has gone on a tear, earning at least one point in nine of its last 10 contests (8-1-1).
Montreal at Boston 7:30 PM ET
Jarome Iginla and the streaking Boston Bruins look to continue their respective torrid stretches when they host the Montreal Canadiens on Monday. Iginla recorded his sixth two-goal performance of the season and third in five contests Saturday as Boston extended its winning streak to a season-high 12 games with a 4-2 triumph over Phoenix.
Ottawa at Tampa Bay 7:30 PM ET
Captain Steven Stamkos expects to play in his 400th career game Monday as his Tampa Bay Lightning look to extend their point streak to nine contests when they host the struggling Ottawa Senators. The Lightning have suffered only one regulation loss in nine games since Stamkosā€™ return from a broken leg, and the 24-year-old center has scored six times while helping revive a dormant power play.
Winnipeg at Dallas 8:30 PM ET
Time has become extremely precious for the Dallas Stars and Winnipeg Jets as both teams reside on the wrong side of the Western Conference postseason picture. The Central Division rivals look to improve their standing at the other's expense on Monday, when they meet in the Lone Star State. Dallas trails Phoenix by just two points for the second and final wild-card spot while Winnipeg is tasked with overcoming a six-point deficit.
San Jose at Calgary 9:00 PM ET
The San Jose Sharks continue their charge toward a potential Presidents' Trophy when they visit the Calgary Flames on Monday. San Jose has used an 8-1-2 surge to surpass Anaheim for first place in the Pacific Division and climb within three points of both Boston and St. Louis for the top spot in the league. The Sharks dropped a 3-2 shootout decision to Washington on Saturday as they concluded a 1-1-1 homestand that followed a six-game winning streak.
