First place in the Atlantic Division - and the entire NHL - still is on the minds of the Toronto Maple Leafs, who look to complete a perfect five-game homestand when they host the Columbus Blue Jackets on Wednesday. Toronto, which has won eight of nine overall, is third in the division but trails first-place Tampa Bay - which also leads the league - by just six points.

The Colorado Avalanche will hit a pair of major milestones Wednesday, when they play the 3,000th game in franchise history and also the 1,500th at home dating to their days in Quebec. The Avalanche will be focused on another round number as they go for their 10th consecutive win at Pepsi Center in a matchup against the Montreal Canadiens.

The Florida Panthers ignited a sputtering power play and, lo and behold, the team has won five of six following the All-Star break. The surging Panthers would love to continue that trend on Valentine's Day as they face off versus the Vancouver Canucks in the second contest of their five-game road trip on Wednesday.
