Preview Roundups
October 18, 2015
New Jersey at NY Rangers 1:00 PM ET
The New Jersey Devils attempt to record their first victory of the season when they visit the Metropolitan Division-rival New York Rangers on Sunday afternoon. New Jersey has struggled offensively over its first four games, scoring a total of six goals en route to an 0-3-1 record.
St. Louis at Winnipeg 3:00 PM ET
It is far too early in the season to draw any definitive conclusions, but the St. Louis Blues already are making an impression during their current six-game road trip. The Blues visit the Winnipeg Jets on Sunday riding a three-game winning streak after dropping the opening contest of their early-season trek, and in Friday’s victory at Vancouver, they showed plenty of resolve as a three-goal lead with less than four minutes remaining nearly disappeared.
Minnesota at Anaheim 8:00 PM ET
There is another drought in California and while it cannot be compared to the severe lack of precipitation in the Golden State, the Anaheim Ducks' offensive ineptness is nearly as remarkable. Anaheim has scored once during its 0-3-1 start as it hosts the Minnesota Wild on Sunday in the final contest of its four-game homestand, but first-year wing Carl Hagelin knows it may only be a matter of time before the Ducks make it rain goals.
Edmonton at Vancouver 9:00 PM ET
After beginning the season with four straight losses, the Edmonton Oilers look to make it two wins in as many nights when they visit the Vancouver Canucks on Sunday. Edmonton was held to five goals during its skid but matched that total in Saturday's victory at Calgary.
Colorado at Los Angeles 10:00 PM ET
The Los Angeles Kings look to build off their first victory of 2015-16 when they face off against the Colorado Avalanche on Sunday in the finale of their season-opening five-game homestand. Los Angeles scored a total of two goals in losing its first three contests and still struggled to find the net in Friday's win over Minnesota, tallying once in regulation before Anze Kopitar netted his first of the campaign at 2:19 of overtime.
