Preview Roundups
February 24, 2019
NY Rangers at Washington 12:30 PM ET
After ending a six-game road trip in the same manner in which it started, the Washington Capitals will hope to bounce back and take advantage of a pair of also-rans. Following a 3-3-0 trek that concluded with a 5-2 loss at Buffalo, the reigning Stanley Cup champions resume their pursuit of the top spot in the Metropolitan Division when they host the New York Rangers on Sunday.
Dallas at Chicago 3:00 PM ET
The Chicago Blackhawks hope to resume their surge toward a playoff spot in the Western Conference after suffering a disappointing result last time out when they host the Dallas Stars on Sunday afternoon. Patrick Kane extended his point streak to 20 games on Friday, but the Blackhawks fell 5-3 at home against Colorado and sit four points out of the second wild-card position after winning 10 of their last 14 contests.
San Jose at Detroit 3:00 PM ET
The San Jose Sharks look to rebound after being shut out for the first time since late November when they continue their four-game road trip Sunday afternoon against the struggling Detroit Red Wings. The Sharks recorded points in nine of 10 contests (8-1-1) before dropping a 4-0 decision at Columbus on Saturday and losing All-Star defenseman Erik Karlsson to a groin injury.
St. Louis at Minnesota 7:00 PM ET
St. Louis and Minnesota were veering in opposite directions when they squared off a week ago and the result was predictable -- a dominant 4-0 victory by the visiting Blues that extended their winning streak to 10 games. The Wild will get a chance to avenge that lopsided defeat and put an end to their six-game slide at home when they host St. Louis on Sunday.
Calgary at Ottawa 7:00 PM ET
Having regained their mojo following a perfect three-game homestand, the Calgary Flames hope to continue the momentum after struggling on their previous road trip. Winners of four in a row, the Pacific Division-leading Flames will play the first of three straight away from home when they visit the reeling Ottawa Senators on Sunday night.
Winnipeg at Arizona 9:00 PM ET
The Winnipeg Jets head to Arizona for a Sunday evening matchup with the Coyotes after a performance that more closely resembled the team that reached last season’s Western Conference finals. Nikolaj Ehlers returned from injury and scored on his first shift, Patrik Laine shattered a long scoring slump with two goals, and the Jets snapped a three-game losing streak - winning for only the third time in the past nine games - with a 6-3 triumph at Vegas.
