Preview Roundups
October 19, 2016
Toronto at Winnipeg 8:00 PM ET
The Nos. 1 and 2 overall picks of the 2016 NHL draft will renew acquaintances on Wednesday as Auston Matthews and the Toronto Maple Leafs open a three-game road trip against Patrik Laine and the Winnipeg Jets. Matthews' scintillating four-goal performance in the season opener paved the way to his being named the NHL's Second Star of the Week while Laine collected a goal and assist in his first contest, although both talented players have been held off the scoresheet in subsequent games.
Detroit at NY Rangers 8:00 PM ET
Speed thrills. That could easily be the mantra for the New York Rangers, who are flashing a catch-us-if-you-can style through the first three games of the season. Coming off a seven-goal eruption in a win over San Jose, the Rangers will square off with an Original Six rival when the Detroit Red Wings pay a visit to Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night.
