Pittsburgh at NY Islanders 7:00 PM ET
The two-time defending Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh Penguins look to recover from another staggering performance when they visit the struggling New York Islanders on Friday. Pittsburgh could not build on Tuesday's impressive win at Philadelphia as it managed just 21 shots in Thursday’s 4-0 loss to Carolina - its eighth setback in 12 games.
San Jose at Ottawa 7:30 PM ET
The San Jose Sharks attempt to make a quick recovery from a shootout loss when they continue their five-game road trip Friday against the Ottawa Senators. San Jose split the first two contests on its trek before dropping a 3-2 decision at Toronto on Thursday.
Florida at Detroit 7:30 PM ET
The Florida Panthers return from an unexpected break on their month-opening road trip when they visit the Detroit Red Wings on Friday. Florida had its five-game trek reduced to four when Thursday's contest in Boston was postponed due to the severe winter storm that impacted the area.
Buffalo at Winnipeg 8:00 PM ET
The Winnipeg Jets attempt to continue their home dominance when they host the road-challenged Buffalo Sabres on Friday. Winnipeg is beginning a brief two-game stretch at Bell MTS Place, where it has won three in a row and lost in regulation just once in its last 15 (13-1-1).
Vegas at Chicago 8:30 PM ET
The Chicago Blackhawks hope to build on one of their best performances in almost three weeks when they host the Western Conference-leading Vegas Golden Knights on Friday. Chicago extended its point streak to three games (2-0-1) with a 5-2 road victory against the New York Rangers on Wednesday in which it allowed just 25 shots and scored three unanswered goals in the third period.
