Having finally put an end to a seven-game losing streak, the St. Louis Blues attempt to move closer to a playoff slot when they visit the Dallas Stars on Saturday afternoon in the opener of a four-game road trip.

The Los Angeles Kings aim to extend their winning streak to four games overall and complete a regular-season sweep of the Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday when the clubs meet at the Staples Center.

The Boston Bruins hope to carry over the momentum from an offensive explosion last time out and remain unbeaten on their six-game homestand when they host the Original Six-rival Montreal Canadiens on Saturday.

The Pittsburgh Penguins look to snap out of their defensive funk and end a three-game losing streak when they host the struggling New York Islanders in a Metropolitan Division battle on Saturday.

The Arizona Coyotes attempt to conclude their seven-game homestand on a winning note when they host the Ottawa Senators on Saturday.

The Edmonton Oilers hope to have one of their top forwards back in the lineup when they continue their five-game homestand Saturday against the New York Rangers.
