Preview Roundups
January 21, 2020
Vegas at Boston 7:00 PM ET
The Boston Bruins want to take some positive momentum into the All-Star break while also erasing the memory of a crushing defeat that brought an end to a streak lasting nearly nine years. The Bruins have dropped three of their last four -- with each loss on the road -- entering Tuesday night's home game against the Vegas Golden Knights.
NY Islanders at NY Rangers 7:00 PM ET
The New York Islanders look to snap a season high-tying three-game losing skid on Tuesday when they visit the New York Rangers. The Islanders haven't fared well versus their cross-town rivals, sustaining a 6-2 defeat to the Rangers on Jan. 13 at Madison Square Garden before falling 3-2 three nights later in Uniondale, N.Y.
Winnipeg at Carolina 7:00 PM ET
Justin Williams has carved out a reputation for delivering in the clutch, earning the nickname "Mr. Game 7" for rising to the occasion when the stakes are highest. Williams came through in a big spot in his season debut and leads the Carolina Hurricanes into their final game before the All-Star break against the visiting Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday night.
Pittsburgh at Philadelphia 7:30 PM ET
Sidney Crosby hasn't missed a beat since returning from a 28-game absence due to a core muscle injury, collecting eight points (three goals, five assists) in four contests to keep the Pittsburgh Penguins surging along. The superstar captain aims to send the Penguins to their seventh win in eight contests on Tuesday when they visit the Philadelphia Flyers.
Florida at Chicago 8:30 PM ET
The Chicago Blackhawks have made one of the biggest turnarounds in the league this season, and look to extend their season-high winning streak to six games when they host former coach Joel Quenneville and his surging Florida Panthers on Tuesday night. The Blackhawks lost nine of the first 12 games this season (3-6-3), but have won 11 of the past 15 to pull within three points of a Western Conference playoff position.
