Preview Roundups
October 03, 2018
Montreal at Toronto 7:00 PM ET
Expectations are sky-high for the Toronto Maple Leafs this season after the club satiated its rabid fan base by signing superstar John Tavares to a seven-year, $77 million blockbuster free-agent contract. The 28-year-old Ontario native is expected to provide a potent punch on the power play with Mitch Marner and Auston Matthews for the Maple Leafs, who open the season Wednesday at home against the Original Six-rival Montreal Canadiens.
Boston at Washington 7:30 PM ET
Perennial underachievers throughout their history, particularly in the postseason, the Washington Capitals finally shed the label with a stirring run to their first Stanley Cup title. With nearly their entire roster intact and captain Alex Ovechkin showing no signs of slowing down, Washington opens its bid to repeat when they host the Boston Bruins on Wednesday night.
Calgary at Vancouver 10:00 PM ET
A new era is underway with the Vancouver Canucks, who enter the season without the Sedin twins in the lineup for the first time since 1999-2000. Daniel and Henrik Sedin, who each amassed 1,000 career points, retired but another elite Swedish talent provides Vancouver with hope for the future entering Wednesday's season opener versus the visiting Calgary Flames.
Anaheim at San Jose 10:30 PM ET
The San Jose Sharks made quite the splash in the offseason, acquiring offensive-minded defenseman Erik Karlsson to pair with fellow former Norris Trophy winner Brent Burns on the back end. The new-look Sharks face a familiar foe in the Anaheim Ducks on Wednesday when the bitter Pacific Division rivals begin their respective seasons at the SAP Center in San Jose.
