Preview Roundups
January 31, 2019
Philadelphia at Boston 7:00 PM ET
Tuukka Rask could be in line to set the franchise record for victories on Thursday when the Boston Bruins host the streaking Philadelphia Flyers, who have won a season-high five in a row. The 2014 Vezina Trophy recipient practiced on Wednesday for the first time since sustaining a concussion in a collision with New York Rangers forward Filip Chytil during Boston's 3-2 loss on Jan. 19.
NY Rangers at New Jersey 7:00 PM ET
The All-Star break helped the New Jersey Devils snap out of a funk but had the opposite effect on the New York Rangers, stalling their momentum from a rare winning streak. After ending a three-game slide with a 6-3 rout of the Pittsburgh Penguins, New Jersey looks to continue the momentum when it hosts the Rangers on Thursday night in the first of four meetings this season.
Columbus at Winnipeg 8:00 PM ET
The Winnipeg Jets have posted a Western Conference-leading 18 wins at Bell MTS Place and look to add to that mark when they open a three-game homestand against the slumping Columbus Blue Jackets on Thursday night. Winnipeg, which owns a two-point lead over the Nashville Predators atop the Central Division, wrapped up a four-game road trip with a 4-3 shootout win at Boston on Tuesday.
