Preview Roundups
February 22, 2019
Columbus at Ottawa 7:00 PM ET
The Columbus Blue Jackets have had a few days to hopefully cure all that ails them, including an illness that kept Artemi Panarin out of their last contest. The Blue Jackets bid to avoid a third straight loss and get back on the right side of the playoff picture on Friday as they visit the NHL-worst Ottawa Senators, who have dropped nine of their last 12 games.
Colorado at Chicago 7:30 PM ET
The Colorado Avalanche and Chicago Blackhawks have taken different paths toward the wild scramble for the final two postseason spots in the Western Conference. A lengthy slump after a fast start appeared to derail Colorado while the Blackhawks are digging their way out of a deep hole and look to continue their surge when they host the Avalanche on Friday night.
Minnesota at Detroit 7:30 PM ET
The Minnesota Wild recorded a much-needed victory on the road last time out after being shut out in the final two contests of their 0-3-1 homestand. They attempt to strengthen their tenuous hold on a wild-card spot in the Western Conference when they visit the Detroit Red Wings on Friday.
Anaheim at Calgary 9:00 PM ET
The Calgary Flames have regained their footing following a four-game winless drought and will go for their fourth consecutive victory when they wrap up a three-game homestand against the Anaheim Ducks on Friday night. Calgary has reclaimed first place in the Pacific Division on the heels of the winning streak but it has won only five of the past 20 meetings against the Ducks.
Winnipeg at Vegas 10:00 PM ET
The Winnipeg Jets looked every bit the serious contender in the Western Conference heading into February, but that appearance is a bit cloudy after a pair of lopsided losses to Colorado during their three-game losing streak and two defeats to lowly Ottawa in a 2-4-2 stretch. The Jets look to get back on track Friday against the Vegas Golden Knights, who have lost six of their last seven at home (1-5-1).
