The Red Wings have started off this western road trip strong. After outlasting the Edmonton Oilers this past Thursday, the team swept Alberta by taking down the Calgary Flames with a 3-1 win on Saturday night, extending Detroit’s win streak to five.
Thanks to this strong stretch of play, the Red Wings have a shot at moving into a playoff spot on Sunday. Sitting sixth in the Atlantic Division, Detroit is one point back of the last Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference.
The Canucks have been very busy over the past couple of days, shipping JT Miller off to the New York Rangers while acquiring Marcus Johansson from the Pittsburgh Penguins. The team is hoping the moves pay off in their quest to get into the playoffs.
Vancouver is fifth in the Pacific Division, one point out of a Wild Card in the Western Conference.
This is the second and final meeting this season between the two teams, with Vancouver winning the first meeting in Detroit, in overtime, back in early December.

NHL Buzz: Hughes game-time decision for Canucks against Red Wings
Calgary Flames
Morgan Frost and Joel Farabee each made his debut with the Flames in a 3-1 loss to the Detroit Red Wings on Saturday.
Frost and Farabee were acquired on Thursday in a trade with the Philadelphia Flyers for forwards Andrei Kuzmenko and Jakob Pelletier, a second-round pick in the 2025 NHL Draft, and a seventh-round pick in the 2028 NHL Draft.
“I think it’s awesome,” Farabee said. “Just for ‘Frosty’ and I it’s a little bit of a fresh start for our careers. These guys are playing really well right now and in a great spot and hopefully we can add to that and help them keep it going.”
Farabee, who has 19 points (eight goals, 11 assists) in 51 games, was the right wing on Calgary’s top line with Nazem Kadri and Jonathan Huberdeau. Frost, who has 25 points (11 goals, 14 assists) in 50 games, was the center on a line with Yegor Sharangovich and Martin Pospisil.
“It’s exciting for us both,” Frost said. ” Joel and I have been talking about it. In the moment, you’re obviously sad to leave your teammates you’ve been with and group of guys. At the same time, I think both of us probably needed a fresh start anyway. In the hunt here. Hopefully we can come in and give the team a boost.”
The Flames (25-19-7) are fourth in the Pacific Division and hold the second wild card into the Stanley Cup Playoffs from the Western Conference, one point ahead of the Vancouver Canucks.
“You lose teammates, but you also recognize we’re bringing in some guys that are going to make our team better,” Calgary coach Ryan Huska said. “Players are smart. They know that. At the end of the day they’re excited to have them and welcome them into our team.” — Aaron Vickers
In today’s NHL Buzz, all eyes are on Vancouver Canucks’ star forward Quinn Hughes as he is listed as a game-time decision for tonight’s matchup against the Detroit Red Wings.Hughes, who has been a key player for the Canucks this season, is dealing with a lower-body injury that has kept him out of the lineup for the past few games. The young defenseman has been a force on both ends of the ice, leading the team in points and playing crucial minutes on the power play and penalty kill.
With Hughes potentially returning to the lineup tonight, Canucks fans are hopeful that his presence will give the team a much-needed boost as they look to secure a victory against the Red Wings. However, his status remains uncertain as the coaching staff will make a final decision closer to game time.
Stay tuned for more updates on Quinn Hughes’ status and all the latest news from around the NHL in our next NHL Buzz update.

#NHL #Tap #Islanders #extend #winning #streak #PanthersFormer Bruins defenseman a late add to NHL 4 Nations roster
A former Boston Bruins defenseman will join the NHL’s 4 Nations Face-Off.
Urho Vaakanainen was added to Finland’s roster on Sunday. The New York Rangers defenseman, along with Buffalo Sabres defenseman Henri Jokiharju are injury replacements for Dallas Stars’ Miro Heiskanen and Toronto Maple Leafs’ Jani Hakanpaa.
Vaakanainen has six assists in 26 games this season between the Anaheim Ducks and Rangers this season. The former first-round pick by the Bruins was part of the trade that sent Rangers captain Jacob Trouba to Anaheim earlier this season.
The 26-year-old made his NHL debut during the 2018-19 season with the Boston Bruins after being drafted by the team in the first round of the 2017 NHL Entry Draft.
In four seasons with Boston (31 games), Vaakanainen amassed six assists, blocked 34 shots and delivered 21 hits.
The NHL 4 Nations Face-Off begins Feb. 12 when Team Canada and Team Sweden open the tournament. Team USA takes on Team Finland on Feb. 13.

Jani Hakanpaa won’t suit up for Team Finland at the 4 Nations Face-Off due to an injury, the Toronto Maple Leafs announced on Saturday.
Maple Leafs D Jani Hakanpää will not participate in the upcoming Four Nations Face-Off due to injury.
— Leafs PR (@LeafsPR) February 1, 2025
The 32-year-old defenseman hasn’t appeared in a game since Nov. 16 against the Edmonton Oilers. Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube said on Dec. 5 that Hakanpaa had a procedure done “to help himself out a little bit.”
Hakanpaa has participated in a majority of Toronto’s practices within the last month, but when he could return to the lineup has been a mystery. The Maple Leafs have a four-game Western Canada (and Seattle) road trip before the 4 Nations tournament begins.
The defenseman, however, didn’t make the trip with the team to Edmonton earlier this week.
“He’s back in Toronto, skating and doing things there,” Berube said “Really, I don’t have a timeline for him. Really, I don’t.”
Hakanpaa has played two games for the Maple Leafs this season. He didn’t register a point while averaging 14:05 of ice time in that span. The two games he appeared in were three days apart.
The defenseman returned to practice after his second knee procedure on Jan. 13. He explained his excitement about possibly suiting up for Team Finland at the 4 Nations.
“Hopefully, we get there (ready to play) before the 4 Nations,” he said.
The Maple Leafs signed the veteran defenseman to a one-year, $1.47 million contract on Sept. 11, after a summer filled with questions about where he’d join the team. It was reported that Hakanpaa signed a longer deal earlier in the summer, however, that never came to fruition.
Finland will now need to search for two defensemen for their 4 Nations squad. Dallas Stars defender Miro Heiskanen will also be forced to miss the tournament after suffering a knee injury against the Vegas Golden Knights on Jan. 29.
Hakanpaa was placed on the Maple Leafs’ long-term injured reserve list on Dec. 31.
The defenseman has 15 goals and 30 assists in 290 games, split between the Anaheim Ducks, Carolina Hurricanes, Stars, and Maple Leafs.

The hockey world was buzzing with speculation after defenseman Jani Hakanpaa announced that he would not be joining Team Finland at the upcoming 4 Nations tournament. Hakanpaa, who has been a key player for the Finnish national team in the past, cited personal reasons for his decision to sit out the tournament.Many fans and analysts were quick to jump to conclusions about Hakanpaa’s future in the NHL, with some speculating that he may be considering retirement or a return to Europe. However, Hakanpaa himself has been adamant that he does not have a timeline for his decision and is simply taking things one day at a time.
While it’s certainly possible that Hakanpaa’s absence from the 4 Nations tournament could be a sign of bigger changes to come, it’s important not to jump to conclusions. Hakanpaa has proven himself to be a reliable and talented player in the NHL, and whatever decision he ultimately makes about his future will surely be well-considered.
In the meantime, fans will have to wait and see what the future holds for Jani Hakanpaa. One thing is for certain: his absence from the 4 Nations tournament has only sparked more questions about his NHL future.

With the defending champs looking no worse for wear atop the Atlantic division, we expect the Panthers to make quick work of the bottom-feeding Blackhawks.

The Florida Panthers host the Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday afternoon at Amerant Bank Arena.
The Panthers have played well recently, prevailing in four of their past six games. All four of those wins have come by at least a three-goal margin, and I believe this trend will continue on Saturday in my Blackhawks vs. Panthers predictions.
Find out more in my NHL picks for February 1.
Blackhawks vs Panthers prediction
My best bet
Panthers -1.5 (-140 at BetMGM)My analysis
A big part of the Florida Panthers’ recent success has been the play of goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky, who is confirmed to start between the pipes on Saturday. He’s picked up his play recently, allowing two or fewer goals in each of his past three starts.Bobrovsky is 3-0 over that stretch, boasting a .951 SV% and 1.33 GAA. Florida has won each of those three games by three or more goals.
This success is likely to continue against the Chicago Blackhawks, a team Bobrovsky is 15-4-1 against over the past 20 meetings with a .917 SV% and 2.48 GAA. It certainly benefits Bobrovsky that the Hawks struggle mightily to generate high-danger scoring chances.
Entering this matchup, the Blackhawks rank last in the league in xGF/60. Their defensive play isn’t much better, as they also rank 28th in xGA/60.
The Panthers sit ninth and seventh, respectively, in those two key categories. With the stronger offense, defense, and goaltender, Florida should have no issues winning by two or more goals for the fifth time over the past two weeks.

#Blackhawks #Panthers #Prediction #Picks #Odds #Saturdays #NHL #GameWashington Capitals Trade Tiers Leading Up To 2025 NHL Trade Deadline
After the Carolina Hurricanes, Colorado Avalanche, and Chicago Blackhawks got the ball rolling with a blockbuster deal, teams across the NHL have begun making roster moves with the trade deadline approaching on Friday, March 7 at 3 PM ET.
NoVa Caps ranks the possibility of players and other assets being moved by the Washington Capitals, who could be big buyers as they currently lead the NHL with a 34-11-5 record this season and want to give captain Alex Ovechkin a shot at a second Stanley Cup before his contract expires on July 1, 2026.
** NOTE: Any player who played an NHL game this season or is currently on long-term injured reserve is included
Untouchable
- Ovechkin (two years left on contract, $9.5 million cap hit, 10-team no-movement clause) — The 39-year-old is averaging over a point-per-game (37 in 35) and leads Washington with 23 goals despite missing 16 games with a broken leg. The team is building around Ovechkin as he is 19 goals away from breaking the all-time record, so why would they trade him?
- C Dylan Strome (four, $5 million cap hit) — Strome, who will turn 28 on Trade Deadline day, is once again in the midst of a career year (15-34-49 in 51), where he has established himself as a top-line center. He is on a bargain of a contract and will be looked up to heavily in a rebuild after Ovechkin hangs up his skates.
- RW Tom Wilson (seven, $6.5 million cap hit, 14-team no-trade clause) — The 30-year-old has bounced back and is having the best season of his NHL career as he is four goals shy of his personal best (24 set in 78 games in 2021-22) and 16 points back of his career-high (52 in 2021-22). In addition to his scoring and physicality, Wilson is a huge part of the Capitals’ culture and could be the team’s next captain.
- C Connor McMichael (two, $2.1 million cap hit) — The 24-year-old is on a very team-friendly contract and has already set a career high with 36 points in 50 games. McMichael, who already tied his previous career high of 18 which was set in 80 outings last season, is part of Washington’s younger core and has cemented his place as a top-six forward this season.
- C Aliaksei Protas (five, $3.375 million cap hit) — The 24-year-old has had a breakout season as his 21 goals are ranked second on Washington and 43 points are just six behind Strome for the team lead. He has fit in beautifully in Washington’s top-six forward group and has an excellent frame at 6’6”, 225 pounds.
Staying put
- C Pierre-Luc Dubois (seven, $8.5 million cap hit, no-movement clause) — The 26-year-old has bounced back in his first season in Washington as he already has six more assists (30) and one more point than the 40 he tallied in 82 games with the Los Angeles Kings last season. His .5736 five-on-five expected goals-for percentage and .5699 five-on-five scoring chances-for percentage are both the best among all Capitals to play at least 10 contests. The fit has worked out beautifully for both sides as he has also helped McMichael and Wilson take steps forward. Pucks are starting to go in for Dubois as well, meaning his numbers should improve.
- D John Carlson (two, $8 million cap hit, 10-team no-trade clause) — The 35-year-old leads Washington with an average of 23:50 per game. While his offensive production (4-27-31 in 51) has continued to decline this season, Carlson’s defensive game has improved as he leads Washington with a .542 five-on-five Corsi-for percentage and ranks sixth with a .5524 five-on-five expected goals-for percentage.
- D Jakob Chychrun (pending UFA, $4.6 million cap hit) — The 26-year-old has had a career season with 13 goals (fourth among NHL defensemen) and .717 points-per-game (33 in 46: 13th). Chychrun’s average of 20:52 per game trails only Carlson. His .4636 five-on-five expected goals-for percentage is the worst among Capitals who have played in 35 games but he has come up big offensively. Chychrun’s contract may be set to expire but both sides have expressed a desire in extending it.
- D Rasmus Sandin (five, $4.6 million cap hit) — The 24-year-old signed a long-term contract less than 11 months ago and has bounced back nicely this season, where he has notched four goals, 18 points, a +17 rating, .5009 five-on-five Corsi-for percentage, .5567 five-on-five expected goals-for percentage, and .5422 five-on-five scoring chances-for percentage in 51 games, where he has averaged 19:19 per game (fourth), 1:02 coming on the power play and 41 on the penalty kill.
- G Logan Thompson (seven, $766,667 cap hit for rest of this season, $5.8 million for next six) — The 27-year-old, who signed a long-term extension on Monday, ranks third in the NHL in wins (23) and co-leads it with a .927 save percentage in 28 games. His 2.05 goals-against average ranks second. Washington gave Thompson, who has a 8.42 goals-saved above average at five-on-five, a vote of confidence as their starting goaltender of the present and future in extending him earlier this week.
- D Matt Roy (six, $5.75 million cap hit) — While averaging 19:39 per game, including 1:47 on the penalty kill (both third), the 29-year-old has earned two goals, 12 points, a +11 rating, .471 five-on-five Corsi-for percentage, .49 five-on-five expected goals-for percentage, and .5048 five-on-five scoring chances-for percentage in 41 games. Roy is one of Washington’s best shutdown blueliners and just signed a long-term contract.
- LW Ivan Miroshnichenko (two, $950,000 cap hit) — The 20-year-old, who helped the AHL’s Hershey Bears win a Calder Cup Championship last season, has an empty-net goal and four points in 18 NHL games and eight goals and 18 points in 23 AHL contests. Miroshnichenko was picked 20th overall in the 2022 NHL Draft by Washington and has high upside. He could become a regular top-nine forward in the NHL next season.
- D Martin Fehervary (two, $2.675 million cap hit) — The 25-year-old has recorded a goal, 11 points, +9 rating, .5016 five-on-five Corsi-for percentage, .5063 five-on-five expected goals-for percentage, and .5173 five-on-five scoring chances-for percentage in 51 games, where he has averaged 19:10 per game (fifth), including a team-leading 3:06 on the penalty kill. Washington depends heavily on Fehervary defensively and he is in his prime, so the team will keep him.
- LW Ethen Frank (two, $775,000 cap hit) — The 26-year-old undrafted forward has shined in his first 10 NHL games, where he has notched three goals and four points after scoring 20 goals and 28 points in 35 AHL outings to start the season. Frank’s contract is cheap and appeared to have passed Jakub Vrana for a spot on Washington’s third-line. That may change at some point but that does not mean he will be shopped.
Preferably staying, but will listen to offers
- LW Brandon Duhaime (two, $1.85 million cap hit) — The 27-year-old has fit in well on Washington’s fourth-line with six goals, 13 points, and a .4887 five-on-five expected goals-for percentage in 51 outings.
- Jakub Vrana (pending UFA, $775,000 cap hit) — The 28-year-old may not be a regular in Washington’s lineup but has been productive when getting called on as he has seven goals and 11 points in 25 games. The team has praised his good attitude throughout this season and Vrana has expressed how much he loves Washington and the organization. With scoring depth being a must-have in the postseason and Vrana counting the minimum against the NHL salary cap, the Capitals will likely keep the 2018 Stanley Cup Champion, especially since they were the only team that showed interest in Vrana in unrestricted free agency last summer.
- C Michael Sgarbossa (pending UFA, $775,000 cap hit) — The 32-year-old has seven goals and 29 points in 30 AHL contests and played in just three NHL games this season but has been productive for Washington with seven goals and 15 points in 43 NHL contests since the 2020-21 season. With the Stanley Cup Playoffs approaching, you can never have too many centers.
Would take a great offer
- D Trevor Van Riemsdyk (two, $3 million cap hit) — The 33-year-old has impressed this season with 18 assists, a +19 rating, .4805 five-on-five Corsi-for percentage, .4871 five-on-five expected goals-for percentage, and .5119 five-on-five scoring chances-for percentage in 50 contests, where he has averaged 17:39 per game (sixth), including 1:42 while shorthanded (fourth). Van Riemsdyk’s contract may be a little pricey for the role he plays but he does it well.
- C Nic Dowd (pending UFA, $1.3 million cap hit) — The 34-year-old has been productive with 10 goals, 18 points, a .493 faceoff-winning percentage, and .5122 five-on-five expected goals-for percentage in 50 games. Dowd, whose 2:33 average penalty killing time on ice per game leads Capitals forwards, could bring a nice return with his defensive prowess and very team-friendly cap hit but will likely stay as he is critical to Washington’s shutdown line.
- G Charlie Lindgren (pending UFA, $1.1 million cap hit) — The 31-year-old has gone 11-9-3 with a .903 save percentage, 2.61 goals-against average, a shutout, and 1.57 goals-saved below average in 24 appearances. Washington showed this week that Thompson is their starting goaltender of both the present and future. While they are reportedly interested in extending Lindgren’s contract, it is not impossible to see him go as he has a bargain of a contract and Washington’s No. 2.
- LW Andrew Mangiapane (pending UFA, $5.8 million cap hit) — The 28-year-old has notched 10 goals, 17 points, and a .5345 five-on-five expected goals-for percentage in 50 games and has played all over the lineup. With an expensive contract and his contract set to expire, it would not be difficult to see Mangiapane go in an “all-in” deal to get a top-six winger.
- RW Taylor Raddysh (pending UFA, $1 million cap hit) — The 26-year-old has posted four goals, 18 points, and a .5434 five-on-five expected goals-for percentage in 50 contests in a shutdown role.
- D Dylan McIlrath (pending UFA, $775,000 cap hit) — The 32-year-old has posted two assists, +1 rating, .413 five-on-five Corsi-for percentage, .4808 five-on-five expected goals-for percentage, and .4956 five-on-five scoring chances-for percentage in 11 NHL games. Washington will likely hang onto Hershey’s captain, who has led the franchise to consecutive Calder Cups, for defensive depth and his snarl might come in handy in the postseason.
Would be open to offers on
- C Lars Eller (pending UFA, $2.45 million cap hit) — The 35-year-old, who was re-acquired from the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for Washington’s 2027 third-round pick and the Chicago Blackhawks’ 2025 fifth-round pick on November 12, has recorded four goals, 10 points, a .529 faceoff-winning percentage, and .496 five-on-five expected goals-for percentage in 32 games since getting traded. Eller has averaged 44 seconds on the penalty kill per game (sixth among Capitals forwards). Washington could improve their third-line and Eller’s pending unrestricted free agent status makes it possible he may be moved out.
- C Hendrix Lapierre (pending RFA, $863,334 cap hit) — The 22nd overall pick from the 2020 NHL Draft, who turns 23 on February 9, recorded eight assists and a .4248 five-on-five expected goals-for percentage in 27 NHL games before getting assigned to the AHL on December 29. Lapierre, who has won two Calder Cups with the Hershey Bears, has tallied five assists in eight AHL games since getting demoted. He could be used as a trade chip to improve Washington’s top-six forward group but it is also reasonable to see how Lapierre fares in training camp next fall.
On the block
- LW Sonny Milano (two, $1.9 million cap hit) — After scoring a career-high 15 goals in 49 games last season, the 28-year-old has been limited to just three games due to a poor training camp and an upper-body injury that has sidelined him since November 6. With Frank and Vrana’s emergences this season, there is not much opportunity for Milano to crack Washington’s top-nine. With that being said, the Capitals would not get fair value back if they traded Milano today.
- D Alexander Alexeyev (pending RFA, $825,000 cap hit) — The 25-year-old, who was taken 31st overall by Washington in 2018, has notched a +4 rating, .4516 five-on-five Corsi-for percentage, .5967 five-on-five expected goals-for percentage, and .5517 five-on-five scoring chances-for percentage in five games. Alexeyev has not appeared in the AHL since the 2022-23 season and played in just 77 NHL games over four seasons.
IR
- C Nicklas Backstrom (pending UFA, $9.2 million cap hit)
- RW T.J. Oshie (pending UFA, $5.75 million cap hit) — Both players are unlikely to play this season. Backstrom has not suited up since October 29, 2023 due to a lingering hip injury while Oshie last played on April 28, 2024, when Washington got swept by the New York Rangers in the first round of the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs. Oshie has been recovering from a back injury.

As the 2025 NHL trade deadline approaches, the Washington Capitals find themselves in a unique position. With a mix of established veterans and promising young talent, the team has a number of different trade assets that could be moved to bolster their roster for a deep playoff run.To break down the Capitals’ potential trade assets, here are the team’s trade tiers leading up to the deadline:
Tier 1: Untouchables
At the top of the list are the Capitals’ core players who are essential to the team’s success both now and in the future. This includes stars like Alex Ovechkin, Nicklas Backstrom, and John Carlson, who are unlikely to be moved under any circumstances.Tier 2: Valuable Assets
In this tier are players who could be moved in the right deal, but only for a significant return. This group includes players like Tom Wilson, Evgeny Kuznetsov, and Ilya Samsonov, who have shown their value to the team but could be expendable if the right deal presents itself.Tier 3: Trade Bait
Players in this tier are more likely to be moved before the deadline, either to clear cap space or to bring in additional talent. This group includes players like Lars Eller, Dmitry Orlov, and T.J. Oshie, who could be attractive to other teams looking to add depth for a playoff push.Tier 4: Rental Players
Finally, the Capitals also have a few players on expiring contracts who could be moved as rental players to teams looking for a short-term boost. This group includes players like Anthony Mantha, Justin Schultz, and Conor Sheary, who could be attractive targets for teams looking to add scoring or defensive depth.As the trade deadline approaches, it will be interesting to see how the Capitals navigate their trade assets and make moves to strengthen their roster for a potential playoff run. Stay tuned for updates on potential trades and acquisitions as the deadline approaches.

Florida may not be firing on all cylinders, going 5-4-1 in their last 10 games, but they still sit second in the Atlantic Division and have a prime opportunity to regain the top spot. Meanwhile, Chicago continues to battle through a tough season, having won just two of their last 10 games.

NHL On Tap: Panthers, with 8 players in 4 Nations Face-Off, host Blackhawks
Other games Saturday
New York Rangers at Boston Bruins (3:30 p.m. ET; ABC, ESPN+, SN, TVAS)
The Rangers (24-22-4) have lost two straight, including a 4-0 home loss to the Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday, after a 7-0-3 run. Goalie Igor Shesterkin has allowed nine goals in his past two games after allowing one goal in his previous three. The Bruins (25-22-6) have also lost two in a row, outscored 13-4, following a stretch of 5-1-1. Defenseman Charlie McAvoy, an alternate captain for Team USA in the 4 Nations Face-Off, will play his second straight game after missing seven with an upper-body injury.
Minnesota Wild at Ottawa Senators (7 p.m. ET; TVAS, SN1, FDSNNO, FDSNWI)
The Wild (31-17-4) and Senators (27-20-4) each will look to win a fourth straight game. Minnesota is 3-0-0 so far on a five-game road trip, with wins at the Chicago Blackhawks, Toronto Maple Leafs and Montreal Canadiens. The Wild are 20-5-3 on the road — the most road wins away from home in the NHL this season. They were 19-18-4 on the road all of last season. The Senators enter Saturday in third place in the Atlantic Division. The last time Ottawa sat third or higher in the Atlantic was April 9, 2017.
New York Islanders at Tampa Bay Lightning (7 p.m. ET; FDSNSUN, MSGSN)
The Islanders (23-20-7) look to make it seven straight wins and five straight on the road when they play the first of a back-to-back set in Florida. It’s New York’s longest winning streak since winning six straight from April 1-11 last season. Goalie Ilya Sorokin is 5-0-0 with a 0.99 goals-against average, .964 save percentage and one shutout in his past five games (four starts). The Lightning (27-20-3) were 1-4-0 in their previous five games before a 3-0 home win against the Los Angeles Kings on Thursday.
Nashville Predators at Pittsburgh Penguins (7 p.m. ET; FSSNSO, SN-PIT)
The Predators (18-25-7) have lost three in a row, including 4-3 at the Buffalo Sabres on Friday, after a five-game winning streak. The Penguins (21-24-8) will look to string together consecutive wins behind Sidney Crosby, who was named Team Canada’s captain for the 4 Nations Face-Off on Thursday.

On the other side, the Blackhawks will be looking to counter with their own talented players from Canada, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia. Canadian captain Jonathan Toews will be leading the charge for Chicago, while Czech forward Dominik Kubalik will be looking to provide some offensive firepower. Slovak defenseman Erik Gustafsson will be patrolling the blue line, while Canadian goaltender Corey Crawford will be tasked with keeping the Panthers at bay.
With a mix of international talent on both sides, this match-up promises to be an exciting and competitive game. Be sure to tune in tonight to see which team comes out on top in this clash of nations on the ice.
