Preview Roundups
January 21, 2019
Nashville at Colorado 3:00 PM ET
Peter Laviolette has seen a pair of slow starts derail his bid to become the second United States-born head coach to win 600 games in the NHL. After dropping two in a row and four of their last five (1-3-1), the Nashville Predators hope a stronger start leads to better results on Monday when they open a three-game road trip against the Colorado Avalanche.
St. Louis at Los Angeles 4:00 PM ET
The St. Louis Blues have recorded at least a point in five of their last six games (4-1-1) to elevate to the NHL's version of .500. The Blues bid to move closer toward a potential wild-card spot in the Western Conference on Monday when they open a five-game road trip against the Los Angeles Kings at Staples Center.
Minnesota at Vegas 6:00 PM ET
The Minnesota Wild answered the bell in their last outing after getting knocked out by a team that was mired in a franchise-worst 12-game winless skid. The Wild bid to put up a strong fight on Monday when they open a three-game road trip versus the Vegas Golden Knights, who boast a sterling 16-4-3 mark at T-Mobile Arena this season.
San Jose at Florida 7:00 PM ET
The Florida Panthers have gotten much healthier in the last week and look to make one last run at being a playoff contender as they go for a third straight victory Monday night against the visiting San Jose Sharks. The Panthers got Nick Bjugstad back a little over a week ago and fellow forward Vincent Trocheck has recorded three points in two games since returning from a two-month absence with an ankle injury.
