Montreal at Buffalo 7:30 PM ET
The Buffalo Sabres vie for their first winning streak of the season when they host the slumping Montreal Canadiens on Wednesday. After going 0-4-1 over its first five home games, Buffalo edged Detroit 3-2 in a shootout on Sunday for its initial victory at First Niagara Center this season. Chris Stewart forged a tie with 6:52 remaining in the third period and Zemgus Girgensons scored the decisive goal in the third round of the bonus format to give the Sabres their first divisional win.
Detroit at NY Rangers 8:00 PM ET
The Detroit Red Wings and New York Rangers vie for their first victory in November at the other's expense when the Original Six rivals meet at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday. New York went the distance in both contests before suffering a 1-0 shootout loss to Winnipeg on Saturday and a 4-3 setback in the bonus format versus St. Louis two nights later.
NY Islanders at Anaheim 10:30 PM ET
The New York Islanders look to halt their three-game losing streak as they continue their five-game road trip against the Anaheim Ducks on Wednesday. After dropping a 4-3 home decision to Winnipeg on Oct. 28, New York began its trek with losses at Colorado and San Jose, scoring a total of one goal in the setbacks. The Islanders, who were 3-1-0 on the road before the trip, have been idle since falling 3-1 to the Sharks on Saturday.
