Preview Roundups
December 23, 2018
Columbus at New Jersey 12:30 PM ET
Taylor Hall looks to continue an offensive surge as the New Jersey Devils attempt to win back-to-back games for the first time in more than a month when they host the red-hot Columbus Blue Jackets on Sunday afternoon. The reigning Hart Trophy winner, Hall scored two goals and set up two others in Friday's 5-2 victory over Ottawa, giving him three tallies and three assists during his three-game point streak.
Boston at Carolina 5:00 PM ET
Patrice Bergeron is back and all is right with the Boston Bruins as they hit the road to face the Carolina Hurricanes on Sunday. Bergeron returned Saturday after missing 16 games with rib and collarbone injuries and contributed two goals - including the 300th of his career - and two assists in Boston's 5-2 victory over Nashville on Saturday.
Florida at Chicago 7:00 PM ET
The Chicago Blackhawks carry a season-best three-game winning streak into their matchup against the road-weary Florida Panthers on Sunday, loaded with confidence after their rookie goaltender helped shut down the league's top line. Collin Delia stopped 35 shots in his first game of the season and third of his career, and Chicago kept the Avalanche's Mikko Rantanen, Nathan MacKinnon and Gabriel Landeskog off the scoresheet in a 2-1 victory at Colorado on Friday.
Philadelphia at NY Rangers 7:00 PM ET
A day after suffering their first loss since Scott Gordon replaced Dave Hakstol as coach, the Philadelphia Flyers will try to get back on the winning track when they visit the New York Rangers on Sunday. Rookie goaltender Carter Hart led the way as the Flyers won Gordon’s first two games at the helm, but they could not take advantage of a 37-19 advantage in shots on Saturday as they dropped a 4-3 decision to Columbus.
Detroit at Toronto 7:30 PM ET
Mitch Marner looks to continue his offensive surge as the Toronto Maple Leafs attempt to extend their point streak to five games when they host the struggling Detroit Red Wings on Sunday. The 21-year-old Marner has scored in four consecutive games after notching two goals and an assist for his second straight three-point effort in Saturday’s 5-3 win over the New York Rangers.
Los Angeles at Vegas 8:00 PM ET
The Vegas Golden Knights continue to spin their wheels as far as wins and losses go but keep getting rewarded for their setbacks as they host the Los Angeles Kings on Sunday. Vegas had its six-game home winning streak snapped after dropping a 4-3 overtime decision to Montreal on Saturday, but is a solid 4-1-2 in its last seven contests overall.
Arizona at San Jose 8:00 PM ET
The San Jose Sharks were optimistic heading into their four-game homestand after having earned points in 10 of their previous 11 contests at SAP Center (9-1-1). The positivity may be lacking Sunday as the Sharks remain in search of their first win on the stretch at home when they face the Arizona Coyotes.
NY Islanders at Dallas 8:00 PM ET
The New York Islanders seek their fourth win in five contests when they conclude their four-game road trip Sunday against the Dallas Stars. New York defeated Detroit in a shootout at home before beginning its trek with victories at Colorado and Arizona, but the streak was halted with Thursday's 4-2 setback against Vegas.
