Preview Roundups
January 22, 2019
San Jose at Washington 7:00 PM ET
While the Washington Capitals had no trouble creating offense last time out, they still were unable to put an end to their season-high five-game losing streak. The Capitals attempt to halt the slide when they host the San Jose Sharks on Tuesday.
Arizona at Ottawa 7:30 PM ET
The Arizona Coyotes and Ottawa Senators are both struggling to stay out of the basement in their respective divisions, but both teams are playing well entering the final week leading to the All-Star break. The Coyotes have earned points in six of their last seven contests (5-1-1) as they continue their six-game road trip with a visit to Ottawa on Tuesday night.
NY Islanders at Chicago 8:30 PM ET
The New York Islanders have ascended to the top of the Metropolitan Division due in large part to a stifling defense that has yielded two goals or fewer in nine of their last 12 outings -- and in each contest of their five-game winning streak. The Islanders bid to continue their stingy ways and match a season-high winning streak Tuesday when they visit the Chicago Blackhawks at United Center.
Carolina at Calgary 9:00 PM ET
The Carolina Hurricanes and Calgary Flames stole the spotlight at last year's NHL draft, making a blockbuster trade in which five players changed uniforms. Former Carolina coach Bill Peters is now behind the bench with Calgary, adding another layer of intrigue when the Pacific Division-leading Flames host the Hurricanes on Tuesday night in the first meeting since the deal.
Detroit at Edmonton 9:00 PM ET
Frustration has reared its ugly head for both the Edmonton Oilers and Detroit Red Wings, a pair of sputtering clubs that are looking for a positive prior to playing their last game before the All-Star break at Rogers Place on Tuesday. The Oilers answered winning five of eight by dropping back-to-back three-goal decisions while the Red Wings have lost the first two contests of their three-game trek through Western Canada.
