Preview Roundups
October 16, 2016
Anaheim at NY Islanders 6:00 PM ET
Two teams seeking their first victory of the season face off Sunday as the New York Islanders take on the Anaheim Ducks in their home opener. New York began the campaign with a road loss to the cross-town Rangers on Thursday and dropped a 2-1 decision at Washington two nights later, while Anaheim has fallen in Dallas and Pittsburgh during its season-opening five-game road trip.
Buffalo at Edmonton 7:00 PM ET
Connor McDavid looks to continue his sizzling start to the season when his unbeaten Edmonton Oilers host the injury-plagued Buffalo Sabres on Sunday. The 19-year-old captain recorded three goals and three assists as the Oilers scored 12 times while posting a pair of victories against provincial rival Calgary to open the campaign.
Carolina at Vancouver 10:00 PM ET
The Vancouver Canucks attempt to make it two wins in as many nights when they continue their season-opening four-game homestand Sunday against the Carolina Hurricanes. Vancouver was one of three teams that waited until Saturday to begin their campaigns and came away with a 2-1 shootout triumph over Calgary as Brandon Sutter scored the lone goal of the bonus format in the fourth round.
