The Calgary Flames came out on top in a spirited Battle of Alberta encounter on Saturday and look to extend their winning streak to six when they begin a three-game trip Monday night against the Montreal Canadiens. The Flames rallied twice to tie the game and got the winner early in the third period from Elias Lindholm on the power play for a 4-3 win over Edmonton to climb to first place in the Pacific Division, at least for a night.

The New York Islanders and the host New York Rangers will be making up for lost time as they play the first of three games in nine days against each other on Monday at Madison Square Garden. The Islanders enter the tilt on a three-game point streak (2-0-1), while the Rangers have won four in a row at home entering a stretch of eight of 10 contests at MSG.

The Boston Bruins answered a season-high five-game winless skid by collecting at least a point in 12 of their last 13 contests (7-1-5). The Bruins bid for their fourth straight victory on Monday when they visit the Philadelphia Flyers, who are looking to rebound from their first shutout loss of the season.

The Carolina Hurricanes go after their third straight shutout and a season series victory when they visit the NHL-best Washington Capitals on Monday night for a Metropolitan Division showdown. Carolina, which won two of the first three against the Capitals this season after knocking them out in the first round of the playoffs last spring, blanked Arizona (3-0) on Friday and Los Angeles (2-0) just 24 hours later to finish its homestand 5-2-0.

The St. Louis Blues boast one of the best home records in the league at 16-4-3, however a rare blemish came in November at the hands of the Anaheim Ducks. The Blues bid to avenge that setback and extend their home winning streak to nine games on Monday when the Ducks pay another visit to the Gateway City.
