Preview Roundups
February 14, 2016
Colorado at Buffalo 12:30 PM ET
The Colorado Avalanche are a better team away from home and can complete a three-game sweep of their road trip when they meet the Buffalo Sabres on Sunday afternoon. Colorado, which owns the top wild-card spot in the Western Conference, is 17-12-0 outside Denver following its 3-2 shootout victory over Detroit on Friday and has its goaltender to thank as Semyon Varlamov made 43 saves after turning aside 26 shots in Thursday's 4-3 victory in Ottawa.
Los Angeles at New Jersey 12:30 PM ET
The Pacific Division-leading Los Angeles Kings hope to have their top netminder in the lineup Sunday afternoon as they continue their season-high seven-game road trip against the New Jersey Devils. Los Angeles is 2-1-0 on the trek but has played the last two contests without Jonathan Quick, who has been sidelined with an undisclosed injury since posting the victory in the trip-opening 9-2 triumph at Boston on Tuesday.
Boston at Detroit 3:30 PM ET
The Detroit Red Wings attempt to conclude their five-game homestand without a regulation loss when they host the Atlantic Division-rival Boston Bruins on Sunday afternoon. Detroit, which earned 10 points (4-0-2) during a six-game stretch at Joe Louis Arena earlier this season, has collected seven over the first four contests (3-0-1) of its current homestand.
St. Louis at Tampa Bay 6:00 PM ET
The St. Louis Blues found their offense in South Florida and look to complete a sweep of their trip to the Sunshine State when they visit the Tampa Bay Lightning on Sunday. St. Louis, which had managed just 10 goals in its previous seven contests, recorded a 5-3 victory Friday over the Atlantic Division-leading Florida Panthers.
Philadelphia at NY Rangers 7:30 PM ET
Three of their first four meetings have been decided in a shootout and both teams have won twice as the New York Rangers host the Metropolitan Division-rival Philadelphia Flyers in the rubber match of the five-game season series on Sunday. The Rangers took the last meeting in a physical game on Feb. 6 and have earned at least one point in five straight contests overall (4-0-1).
