Preview Roundups
December 14, 2016
San Jose at Ottawa 7:00 PM ET
The Ottawa Senators hope to rebound from a rough road trip when they return home Wednesday night to face the San Jose Sharks – the only team they beat on the recent four-game trek. The Senators surrendered 19 goals on the trip, including nine in losses to Los Angeles and Anaheim over the weekend after beating San Jose for the fifth straight time Dec. 7.
Boston at Pittsburgh 7:30 PM ET
The top two goal scorers in the National Hockey League will go head-to-head when the white-hot Pittsburgh Penguins host the Boston Bruins on Wednesday night. The reigning Stanley Cup champions, led by superstar captain Sidney Crosby, are on an offensive rampage, outscoring the opposition by a staggering 35-14 margin during their six-game winning streak.
Tampa Bay at Calgary 9:30 PM ET
The Calgary Flames were already turning things around and Johnny Gaudreau’s earlier-than-expected return from a fractured finger only made them better. Gaudreau boasts eight points in four games since rejoining the lineup and looks to stay hot as the Flames go after their seventh consecutive victory when the struggling Tampa Bay Lightning pay a visit Wednesday.
Philadelphia at Colorado 10:00 PM ET
The red-hot Philadelphia Flyers look to win their 10th contest in a row for the first time since 1985 when they play the second outing of a three-game road trip against the Colorado Avalanche on Wednesday. Brayden Schenn capped an impressive weekend in style, following up his second career hat trick on Saturday by scoring 2:44 into overtime the following night in a 1-0 win over Detroit.
