Preview Roundups
February 21, 2020
NY Rangers at Carolina 7:00 PM ET
Although the Carolina Hurricanes are holding down one of the wild-card spots in the Eastern Conference, the race could not be any tighter with teams changing places on a nightly basis. The Hurricanes will face one of the teams chasing them and perhaps their biggest nemesis when the resurgent New York Rangers pay a visit to Carolina on Friday night.
Detroit at NY Islanders 8:00 PM ET
The New York Islanders look to leave a disastrous four-game road trip in their rear-view mirror on Friday when they host the league-worst Detroit Red Wings at Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum. The Islanders were shut out twice to begin their recent trek and mustered just one goal in each of the other two contests on their season-high four-game skid.
Nashville at Chicago 8:30 PM ET
The Nashville Predators saw the momentum built from a lopsided victory and a home-and-home sweep of a bitter rival go by the boards following a setback in their last contest. The Predators look to get back on track Friday when they visit the Chicago Blackhawks, who have dropped seven of their last eight games (1-5-2).
St. Louis at Dallas 8:30 PM ET
The Dallas Stars look to extend their point streak to seven games and move into a virtual tie with defending Stanley Cup champion St. Louis for first place in the Central Division when they host the Blues on Friday night. Dallas is 5-0-1 over the past six contests, with the only blemish in overtime at Ottawa, and four of the victories were by one goal after Wednesday’s 3-2 victory over Arizona at home.
Boston at Calgary 9:00 PM ET
The Boston Bruins have the best record in hockey but are still in a dogfight to win their own division despite winning four games in a row and 10 of their last 11. The Atlantic Division-leading Bruins have a chance to become the first team in the NHL to reach 90 points when they continue their four-game road trip at the Calgary Flames on Friday night.
Minnesota at Edmonton 9:00 PM ET
The Minnesota Wild look to build off the team's first win under interim coach Dean Evason and complete a successful trek through Western Canada on Friday when they visit the Edmonton Oilers. The Wild, who have won the first two meetings this season with Oilers, sport a sizzling 14-3-0 record in their last 17 games in Edmonton.
Colorado at Anaheim 10:00 PM ET
Some key injuries have piled up for the Colorado Avalanche, who are waging a three-team battle with Dallas and defending Stanley Cup champion St. Louis for the top spot in the Central Division. The Avalanche also will be tested by a rugged upcoming schedule with eight of their next 10 on the road, beginning with Friday's clash at the Anaheim Ducks.
