Preview Roundups
December 17, 2018
Anaheim at Pittsburgh 7:00 PM ET
The Pittsburgh Penguins bid to post their fifth straight win at PPG Paints Arena on Monday when they conclude a three-game homestand against the Anaheim Ducks. The Penguins improved to 6-1-1 in their last eight home contests after they followed Friday's 5-3 victory versus Boston with a 4-3 overtime triumph against Los Angeles the following night.
Vegas at Columbus 7:00 PM ET
The Vegas Golden Knights have found their stride after a slow start to the season and can finish a four-game trip without a regulation loss when they visit the Columbus Blue Jackets on Monday. Vegas, which started the season 1-4-0, has earned at least one point in 11 of its last 13 games (10-2-1) after Alex Tuch scored in overtime on Sunday for a 4-3 triumph over the New York Rangers.
Boston at Montreal 7:30 PM ET
The Montreal Canadiens look to complete a perfect three-game homestand and post their fourth straight victory at Bell Centre when they host the Original Six-rival Boston Bruins on Monday. Two of the Canadiens' triumphs during their home winning streak came against Ottawa, including Saturday's come-from-behind triumph.
Nashville at Ottawa 7:30 PM ET
The Nashville Predators answered a fruitless trek through Western Canada by opening a three-game homestand with a 3-1 win versus the Ottawa Senators last week. After extending past regulation to emerge victorious in their next two outings, the Predators bid for their first road win in over one month as they open a four-game trek in Ottawa on Monday.
NY Islanders at Colorado 9:00 PM ET
The New York Islanders will need to get acclimated to life away from home as they play six of their next seven contests on the road, including Monday's opener of a four-game trek versus the red-hot Mikko Rantanen and the Colorado Avalanche. The home team has won each of the last eight encounters in the series, with the Islanders limping to an 0-3-1 mark in their last four trips to Denver.
