Preview Roundups
April 08, 2015
Toronto at Columbus 7:30 PM ET
A pair of teams long out of playoff contention and headed in different directions square off when the Columbus Blue Jackets host the Toronto Maple Leafs on Wednesday. Unlike the skidding Maple Leafs, the Blue Jackets at least have provided their fans with hope for next season thanks to a spirited sprint to the wire, winning nine consecutive games before falling to overtime to the NHL-leading New York Rangers on Monday.
Boston at Washington 8:00 PM ET
The Boston Bruins attempt to strengthen their hold on a postseason berth when they visit the Washington Capitals on Wednesday. Boston, which enters with a five-game winning streak, is sitting in the second wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference, one point behind Pittsburgh, and trails Detroit for third place in the Atlantic Division by two with a game in hand.
Dallas at Anaheim 10:30 PM ET
With the Presidents' Trophy no longer an option, the Anaheim Ducks now turn their attention to securing the top spot in the Western Conference. Anaheim looks to clinch home ice throughout the conference playoffs when it takes on the Dallas Stars in its home finale on Wednesday.
