Preview Roundups
March 05, 2018
Calgary at Pittsburgh 7:00 PM ET
The Pittsburgh Penguins snapped a demoralizing three-game skid last time out and hope to continue going in the right direction when they host the struggling Calgary Flames on Monday. The Penguins allowed a total of 17 goals during their slide before recording 50 shots and grinding out a 3-2 overtime win over the New York Islanders on Saturday.
Toronto at Buffalo 7:30 PM ET
The Toronto Maple Leafs look to wash away the memories from a disappointing outdoor game and end a three-game slide when they visit the Buffalo Sabres on Monday for the first of four meetings over their last 15 contests. The Maple Leafs were dispatched by Washington 5-2 in a Stadium Series contest at the Naval Academy on Saturday and are 0-2-1 since their 13-2-0 stretch.
Ottawa at Dallas 8:30 PM ET
The Dallas Stars began their five-game homestand with a loss but attempt to conclude it with a four-game point streak when they host the Ottawa Senators on Monday. Dallas, which occupies the first wild-card spot in the Western Conference and trails Minnesota by two points for third place in the Central Division, improved to 2-1-1 on the string at American Airlines Center with Saturday's 3-2 overtime triumph over St. Louis.
Arizona at Edmonton 9:00 PM ET
After finishing their season-high seven-game homestand on a strong note, the Arizona Coyotes continue their quest to escape the league basement when they begin a three-game road trip Monday against the Edmonton Oilers. Arizona, which is just one point behind Eastern Conference-worst Buffalo, completed its 5-2-0 stretch at Gila River Arena with triumphs over Minnesota on Thursday and Ottawa two days later.
NY Islanders at Vancouver 10:00 PM ET
If the New York Islanders hope to remain in the playoff hunt, they'll need to begin recording some victories. New York looks to halt its six-game slide (0-4-2) Monday as it continues a four-game road trip against the Vancouver Canucks.
