Preview Roundups
December 12, 2018
Vegas at NY Islanders 7:00 PM ET
The Vegas Golden Knights have reversed their early-season doldrums by starting to reclaim their dominance at T-Mobile Arena, but they will have to show they can win away from home. Winners of eight of 10 overall and five in a row at home, the Golden Knights will kick off a four-game road trip with a visit to the New York Islanders on Wednesday night.
Pittsburgh at Chicago 8:00 PM ET
The Pittsburgh Penguins are riding a four-game point streak (3-0-1) during which they scored six goals in each of the first two contests but a total of two over the last pair. Pittsburgh hopes to rev up the offense again when it concludes a three-game road trip Wednesday against the struggling Chicago Blackhawks.
Philadelphia at Calgary 8:30 PM ET
Calgary Flames coach Bill Peters has seen his team's spirited 9-2-1 surge over the last 12 games add up to a spot atop the Pacific Division in addition to a place in the conversation among the Western Conference's elite. The high-octane Flames aim to rebound from a shutout loss to a bitter rival when they host the struggling Philadelphia Flyers on Wednesday.
Dallas at Anaheim 10:00 PM ET
The Dallas Stars are in the midst of a stretch of eight consecutive games against teams from the Pacific Division and they have earned points in five of the first six (4-1-1) as they prepare to resume a four-game road trip at the Anaheim Ducks on Wednesday night. The Stars are 9-1-1 this season against Pacific foes but have dropped five in a row at the Honda Center.
