Preview Roundups
April 06, 2014
St. Louis at Chicago 12:30 PM ET
After suffering a lopsided loss against one Central Division rival, the St. Louis Blues look to atone with a better showing versus another when they visit the Chicago Blackhawks on Sunday afternoon. The Blues saw their lead atop the division trimmed to five points with a 4-0 setback to Colorado on Saturday afternoon. St. Louis' second setback in seven games dropped it two points behind Boston in the race for the Presidents' Trophy.
Dallas at Florida 5:00 PM ET
The Dallas Stars attempt to strengthen their hold on a postseason berth as they conclude their five-game road trip against the Florida Panthers on Sunday. Dallas improved to 3-1-0 on its trek with a 5-2 victory at Tampa Bay on Saturday. Captain Jamie Benn scored two goals and set up another as the Stars moved one point ahead of Phoenix for the second wild-card spot in the Western Conference with a game in hand.
NY Islanders at Columbus 6:00 PM ET
The Columbus Blue Jackets attempt to bounce back from a crushing last-second loss when they host the New York Islanders on Sunday night. Columbus appeared headed for overtime when Chicago's Ben Smith scored with four seconds left in regulation on Friday, costing the Blue Jackets a valuable point as they attempt to hold off New Jersey and Toronto for the final playoff slot in the Eastern Conference. Columbus still controls its own destiny with a one-point lead and five games left.
Buffalo at Philadelphia 7:30 PM ET
The Philadelphia Flyers attempt to halt their four-game slide (0-2-2) when they host the Buffalo Sabres on Sunday. Philadelphia fell to 1-4-2 in its last seven contests with Saturday's 5-2 loss at Boston, remaining four points behind the second-place New York Rangers in the Metropolitan Division and two ahead of Columbus. Wayne Simmonds' power-play goal late in the second period ended the Flyers' scoring drought at 165 minutes, 1 second.
Pittsburgh at Colorado 8:00 PM ET
The surging Colorado Avalanche continue to hold off the Chicago Blackhawks for second place in the Central Division and will go for their seventh consecutive win when they host the Pittsburgh Penguins on Sunday night. The Avalanche turned in their most impressive victory of the winning streak Saturday with a 4-0 drubbing at Western Conference-leading St. Louis. The testy matchup of division rivals led Colorado coach Patrick Roy to call Blues captain David Backes "gutless."
Anaheim at Edmonton 8:00 PM ET
The Anaheim Ducks look increase their lead in the Pacific Division when they visit the Edmonton Oilers on Sunday for the third meeting between the teams in 10 days. Anaheim sits just one point in front of San Jose thanks to a 5-2 loss to visiting Nashville on Friday. The Ducks allowed the game's first three goals and trailed 4-1 after one period en route to their first loss in four contests.
