Preview: Boston Bruins at Washington Capitals, 7 p.m. ET. The last time these two teams met it was Game 7, Joel Ward was about to break hearts in Boston and Tim Thomas was still an NHL goaltender. Eleven months later, the teams are heading in different directions in the Eastern Conference standings. Mike Green will be out for the Caps with a groin injury and Troy Brouwer will be a game-time decision as he is ill.
Preview: Philadelphia Flyers at New York Rangers, 7:30 p.m. ET. A day after Patrick Kaleta was handed a 5-game suspension, Brad Richards will not be in the Rangers' lineup for their meeting with the Flyers after leaving the morning skate early. Micheal Haley has been called up to a fill a space in the roster.
Preview: Minnesota Wild at Chicago Blackhawks, 8:30 p.m. ET. The 1979-80 Philadelphia Flyers entered Minnesota having not lost in 35 games. They fell to the North Stars 7-1 that night. How will the current team playing in Minnesota fare tonight against a Blackhawks team that enters having not lost in regulation through 22 games?
