Preview Roundups
October 09, 2018
San Jose at Philadelphia 7:00 PM ET
The Philadelphia Flyers were dealt a serious blow on Monday, and they didn't even play a game. The Flyers will take the first step toward overcoming the injury of offseason acquisition James van Riemsdyk on Tuesday when they play their home opener against the San Jose Sharks at Wells Fargo Center.
Vancouver at Carolina 7:00 PM ET
Carolina Hurricanes coach Rod Brind'Amour has liked what he's seen from his team - and for good reason, considering the club is off to its best start since venturing south from Hartford. Fresh off an eight-goal explosion, the Hurricanes bid to continue their good fortune on Tuesday when they face the visiting Vancouver Canucks.
Colorado at Columbus 7:00 PM ET
Philipp Grubauer came to Colorado hoping for a promotion of sorts and will get his first chance to impress his coaches and teammates when the undefeated Avalanche visit the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday. Grubauer, who served as Braden Holtby's backup for most of his six seasons in Washington, has watched incumbent No. 1 Semyon Varlamov allow three goals and stop 55 of 58 shots in Colorado's season-opening victories over Minnesota and Philadelphia.
Calgary at Nashville 8:00 PM ET
The Nashville Predators found a way to post a pair of one-goal victories to start the season on the road, despite being outshot, and look to stay unbeaten when they open at home against the Calgary Flames on Tuesday night. The Predators swept the Rangers and Islanders during their trip to New York without any help from the power play and come home where they registered 60 points (28 wins) in 41 regular-season games in 2017-18.
Los Angeles at Winnipeg 8:00 PM ET
Alex Iafallo showed glimpses of making a positive offensive impact for the Los Angeles Kings in 75 games as a rookie last season, and the center powered them to their first victory this year entering Tuesday’s road contest at the Winnipeg Jets. Iafallo scored twice in Sunday’s 4-2 triumph over Detroit, and through two games the 24-year-old center has three points -- a good start after he recorded nine goals and 25 points last season.
Toronto at Dallas 8:30 PM ET
While John Tavares is endearing himself to his new team's fanbase with a strong start to the season, teammate Auston Matthews is beloved in Toronto as well. Named the NHL's First Star of the Week, Matthews aims to extend his scorching start to the new campaign on Tuesday when the Maple Leafs continue their four-game road trip with a visit to the Dallas Stars.
