Preview Roundups
April 19, 2014
Chicago at St. Louis 3:00 PM ET
In the minds of many, the St. Louis Blues went from the penthouse to the outhouse in record time as they concluded the regular season mired in a six-game losing streak. After winning a triple-overtime marathon in the first-round series opener, the Blues look to elevate their standing once again when they host Game 2 against the reigning Stanley Cup champion Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday afternoon.
Columbus at Pittsburgh 7:00 PM ET
Despite putting a scare into their opposition, the Columbus Blue Jackets still haven't proven they can defeat the Pittsburgh Penguins this season. The Blue Jackets look to rebound after letting a two-goal advantage evaporate and salvage a split of the first two contests of their Eastern Conference first-round series when they visit the Metropolitan Division champions for Game 2 on Saturday.
Minnesota at Colorado 9:30 PM ET
Paul Stastny made history in the series opener, becoming the first player in NHL playoff history to score the tying goal in the last 15 seconds of regulation and the winner in overtime. Stastny and the Colorado Avalanche hope a repeat isn't necessary as they attempt to take a 2-0 lead against the Minnesota Wild in their Western Conference first-round series on Saturday.
