Preview Roundups
October 20, 2015
Arizona at New Jersey 7:00 PM ET
The New Jersey Devils finally broke into the win column in their fifth game and hope to continue the momentum when they host the Arizona Coyotes on Tuesday night. New Jersey is coming off a 2-1 overtime victory over the New York Rangers on Sunday at Madison Square Garden to deliver first-year coach John Hynes his first NHL victory.
Florida at Pittsburgh 7:00 PM ET
Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby has failed to record a point in a career-high six games dating to last season. The two-time Hart Trophy winner looks to make a dent in the scoreboard and send the Penguins to their third straight victory when they host the Florida Panthers on Tuesday.
NY Islanders at Columbus 7:00 PM ET
Losing has already begun taking its toll on the beleaguered Columbus Blue Jackets. The NHL's lone winless team looks to end the worst start in franchise history when they host the Metropolitan Division-rival New York Islanders on Tuesday.
Dallas at Philadelphia 7:30 PM ET
Tyler Seguin has begun the season with a flourish and helped the Dallas Stars to three consecutive victories. With seven points (three goals, four assists) in that stretch, Seguin looks to continue his good fortune when the Stars visit the well-rested Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday.
St. Louis at Montreal 7:30 PM ET
The Montreal Canadiens have fended off all comers in breezing to the best start in franchise history, but they will face a serious challenge to their perfect record when the St. Louis Blues pay a visit to the Bell Centre on Tuesday night. Montreal is the league's only unbeaten team and has surrendered a total of only seven goals during its scorching 6-0-0 start.
Tampa Bay at Nashville 8:00 PM ET
The Tampa Bay Lightning hope to have Victor Hedman back in the lineup when they begin their four-game road trip against the Nashville Predators on Tuesday. The hulking defenseman sat out Saturday's victory over Buffalo with an upper-body injury suffered two nights earlier against Dallas.
Washington at Calgary 9:00 PM ET
Captain Alex Ovechkin looks to reach a milestone when he leads the Washington Capitals into Calgary on Tuesday to face the Flames in the opener of their three-game road trip. The superstar Russian, who is seeking his sixth Maurice Richard Trophy - and fourth in a row, needs one point to reach 900 for his career and tie Tony Amonte for 103rd place on the all-time list.
