Preview Roundups
December 05, 2016
Florida at Boston 7:00 PM ET
While the Boston Bruins are struggling to find answers on offense, Tuukka Rask has things well under control at the other end of the rink. Rask, who leads the league in goals-against average and is near the top in several other categories, hopes to remain hot when the Bruins try to extend their four-game point streak (3-0-1) against the visiting Florida Panthers on Monday.
Ottawa at Pittsburgh 7:00 PM ET
The Ottawa Senators suffered through a disappointing 2015-16 campaign mostly due to their defensive struggles, but things have changed one season later. The Senators put their much-improved defensive mindset to the test against the defending Stanley Cup champions when they visit the Pittsburgh Penguins on Monday.
Buffalo at Washington 7:00 PM ET
The Washington Capitals hope to put an end to their three-game winless streak when they host the Buffalo Sabres on Monday. Washington fell to 0-2-1 with Saturday's 2-1 shootout loss at Tampa Bay and hasn't won since posting a 3-1 home victory over the Sabres on Nov. 25.
Arizona at Columbus 7:00 PM ET
The Columbus Blue Jackets attempt to extend their point streak to six games when they host the sliding Arizona Coyotes on Monday in the back end of their home-and-home series. Columbus improved to 4-0-1 with Saturday's 3-2 shootout triumph in Arizona, which also was its third consecutive victory.
