    NHL notebook: D Murray agrees to extension with Jackets
    By The Sports Xchange


    The Columbus Blue Jackets reached an agreement with defenseman Ryan Murray on a two-year, $5.65 million contract extension Thursday.
    The 22-year-old Murray was the second overall pick in the 2012 NHL draft. He has four goals and 13 assists in 55 games this season, one of only three Blue Jackets players to see action in every game.
    Murray's career high is 66 games as a rookie two years ago. Last season, he was limited by injuries to 12 games.
    Murray would have become a restricted free agent on July 1. The extension runs through 2018 at $2,825,000 annually.


    --The 2017 NHL draft is headed to Chicago, the NHL announced.
    The draft will be held June 23-24, 2017 at the United Center. It marks the first time the event has been held in Chicago.


    --Boston Bruins goaltender prospect Malcolm Subban will be sidelined a minimum of eight weeks after undergoing surgery to repair a broken larynx, the team announced.
    Subban suffered the injury when he was struck in the throat by a puck on Feb. 6 while with the Providence Bruins of the American Hockey League. The incident occurred during warmups of a game against the Portland Pirates.
    Subban, the brother of Montreal Canadiens All-Star defenseman P.K. Subban, has played in 27 games for Providence this season, posting a 14-8-5 record with a 2.46 goals-against average and .911 save percentage.


    --Toronto Maple Leafs center Nazem Kadri was fined $5,000 for making "inappropriate gestures" during Tuesday's game against the Calgary Flames, the NHL announced.
    Kadri made a throat-slash gesture at Calgary defenseman Mark Giordano while expressing his anger over a hit he received from Giordano.


    --The Detroit Red Wings assigned center Joakim Andersson to Grand Rapids of the American Hockey League, the club announced.
    Andersson has three points (one goal, two assists) in 28 games with the Red Wings this season.


    --The San Jose Sharks recalled defenseman Mirco Mueller from the San Jose Barracuda of the American Hockey League, the team announced.
    Mueller, 20, played in 10 games with the Sharks this season. He made his NHL debut last season and has one goal and three assists in 39 games.


    --Tampa Bay Lightning announced that defenseman Jason Garrison is expected to miss 3-5 weeks with a lower-body injury.
    He has four goals and seven points, and is second on the Lightning in blocked shots (76).
    The Lightning recalled defenseman Slater Koekkoek from the Syracuse Crunch of the American Hockey League.


    --The Los Angeles Kings recalled defenseman Kevin Gravel from Ontario and assigned defenseman Christian Ehrhoff to the American Hockey League team.
    The Kings also made goaltender Peter Budaj an emergency recall.

    Preview: Penguins (27-19) at Hurricanes (24-21)


    Date: February 12, 2016 7:00 PM EDT


    While the Pittsburgh Penguins hope their recent goose egg was a mere hiccup during a hot stretch, the Carolina Hurricanes expect a rejuvenated attack after four days off.


    The rested Hurricanes open a favorable stretch in the schedule Friday night as the visiting Penguins look to get back on track in a matchup of Metropolitan Division foes.


    Pittsburgh (27-19-7) was the league's best team offensively from Jan. 21-Feb. 8, averaging 4.14 goals while winning six of seven games - including a big outburst in Monday's 6-2 win over Anaheim.


    Sidney Crosby scored at least once in each of those seven contests for a career-best goal streak, helping the Penguins finally resemble the up-tempo team most expected entering the season.


    Then New York Rangers pumped the breaks and beat Pittsburgh 3-0 on Wednesday. Crosby didn't record a shot on goal to end his 11-game point streak and the Penguins were shut out for the first time in 18 games.


    Pittsburgh failed to find the back of the net on 34 shots and moved to 1 for 11 on the power play over its last four games, looking more like the team that averaged 2.19 goals through Dec. 19 - more than only Anaheim (1.84) and Philadelphia (2.09).


    "We had some good chances," said Crosby, who totaled 12 goals and 22 points during his point streak. "They capitalized on theirs and we didn't. That was the difference."


    Pittsburgh goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury suffered his second loss in three starts after winning five in a row. That run started with one of his four shutouts when he made 22 saves in a 5-0 victory over the Hurricanes on Jan. 17.


    Crosby scored twice as the Penguins snapped Carolina's three-game win streak in this series, including a 2-1 final Dec. 19 and 3-2 overtime victory at Carolina on Jan. 12.


    Fleury's shutout ended a dismal stretch against the Hurricanes in which he went 2-3-1 with an .888 save percentage and 3.14 goals-against average dating to December 2013.


    Carolina goalie Cam Ward, who has a .947 save percentage while winning three of his last four starts against Pittsburgh, may earn a third straight start since Eddie Lack allowed five goals against the Penguins last month.


    Ward missed the most recent matchup in this series due to a concussion, but the 11-year veteran returned with two strong performances over the weekend. He made 33 saves in a 5-3 win at Winnipeg on Feb. 5 and finished with the same amount in a 2-1 shootout loss at Montreal two days later, helping Carolina wrap up a 1-1-1 trip.


    The Hurricanes (24-21-9) open a key stretch with eight of 10 games at PNC Arena, where they are 6-1-2 since Dec. 26. They had scored five goals in each of their wins on a 3-1-0 run that stretched over the All-Star break before finishing with just one and missing all five shootout attempts against the Canadiens.


    Jeff Skinner is riding a five-game point streak, but captain Eric Staal has only two assists in his last 10 games.


    "We got rested up. We're good," coach Bill Peters said. "We'll get ourselves in a good rhythm here coming into this stretch and take advantage of our schedule being at home."


    It opens with back-to-back games against the Penguins and Islanders as the Hurricanes celebrate the 10th anniversary of their 2006 Stanley Cup title this weekend.


    Pittsburgh, which is 1-2-2 on the road since Jan. 12, is a bit banged up with Evgeni Malkin staying home to nurse a lower-body injury and Trevor Daley a game-time decision with an undisclosed injury.

      Preview: Canadiens (27-24) at Sabres (21-28)


      Date: February 12, 2016 7:00 PM EDT


      Two-month chunks of the season have brought wildly different results for the Montreal Canadiens. With about that much time left, they hope for the earlier returns to make a push.


      The Canadiens look to build off their first winning streak in more than two months when they open a three-game trip against the sinking Buffalo Sabres on Friday night.


      Montreal (27-24-4) opened as the NHL's best team with a 19-4-3 record through Dec. 1 but posted the league's worst mark of 5-20-1 from Dec. 3-Feb. 3. That miserable stretch included no point streaks with two four-game skids and a six-game drought.


      With the clock ticking on what would be a massive collapse, the Canadiens have finally found a bit of relief with three straight wins to snap a four-game skid and close a homestand 3-1.


      Montreal scored 10 goals in the final three games, looking more like the team that led the league with a scoring average of 3.54 through the season's first 24 games compared to the one that fell to the bottom at 1.86 from Nov. 28-Feb. 3.


      Tomas Plekanec has led the latest swing in offense, tallying three goals and five assists in the last four games after going scoreless in the previous six.


      "He's going out there and playing solid defensively and creating offense as well," Alex Galchenyuk said of his linemate.


      Now the key is spreading the success around. The Canadiens' top line of Plekanec, Galchenyuk and Brendan Gallagher have logged 13 of Montreal's 26 points over the last three games. Meanwhile, captain Max Pacioretty has one goal and one assist in his last nine games and David Desharnais has gone without a point in his last seven.


      "We need to follow up on what other guys are doing if we want to have success and keep it going," Desharnais told the team's official website. "At the start of the year, everyone was chipping in and there was a different hero each game."


      While Montreal is 3-11-1 away from home since Dec. 5, Buffalo is 1-7-2 at First Niagara Center since Dec. 19.


      The first two games between these Atlantic Division foes were as opposite as the Canadiens' season has been. A 7-2 rout of Buffalo on Oct. 23 was part of Montreal's nine-game opening run, but a 4-2 loss Feb. 3 was the final loss in its extended slump.


      Though the Sabres have won four of the last five in this series, Montreal has taken five of the last six in Buffalo and has points in 12 of the last 14 there.


      The Sabres (21-28-6) came out of the All-Star break with their win over the Canadiens, but they have followed with four straight losses - the first two in extra time and the final two in regulation.


      After falling 7-4 to Florida on Tuesday, Buffalo surrendered another handful of goals in Thursday's 5-1 loss at Philadelphia. The Sabres trailed 4-0 in each game.


      "Mental breakdowns, turnovers, lack of coverage, it's a little bit of everything," captain Brian Gionta said.


      Robin Lehner was pulled Tuesday after allowing four goals on 12 shots, and he surrendered five more on 28 two days later. It is unclear if he or Chad Johnson will start in net Friday.


      Ben Scrivens will make his fourth straight start in net for Montreal. He has won three in a row with a .959 save percentage, though he holds just a .908 mark in six career starts against Buffalo.

        Preview: Kings (32-18) at Rangers (31-18)


        Date: February 12, 2016 7:00 PM EDT


        The New York Rangers are overcoming a pair of major absences thanks in large part to Henrik Lundqvist. An injury to Jonathan Quick has already posed a problem for the Los Angeles Kings.


        Lundqvist should get a chance to spur the Rangers to a fifth straight win Friday night when they try to capitalize on Quick's potential absence.


        New York (31-18-5) is 5-2-0 since Rick Nash went down with a bone bruise in his left leg. The team has also won both games without captain Ryan McDonagh, who is sidelined with a concussion.


        While there's no timetable for either to return, another dazzling performance from Lundqvist could keep the Rangers rolling. He's won eight of his last 10 starts with a 1.77 goals-against average, winning four straight behind a 1.23 GAA after making 34 saves in a 3-0 win at Pittsburgh on Wednesday.


        "There's no doubt that our goaltending was outstanding," coach Alain Vigneault said. "(Lundqvist) made some big saves at key times and we were able to get some timely goals."


        Lundqvist will be facing the Kings for the first time since posting a .923 save percentage while New York lost to the Kings in five games of the 2014 Stanley Cup Final.


        Quick had a .932 save percentage in that series and a .903 mark while splitting two matchups that Lundqvist missed last season. However, he's expected to miss a second straight game with an undisclosed injury, leaving Pacific Division-leading Los Angeles (32-18-3) to decide between backup Jhonas Enroth and Peter Budaj, whose last appearance in the NHL came with Montreal in April 2014.


        Enroth surrendered three goals in the opening period Thursday, finishing with 25 saves in a 5-2 loss to the New York Islanders.


        "We've been a really good team at bouncing back this year and that's what we have to do again heading into (Friday) night," left wing Milan Lucic told the team's official website.


        That will require a better effort in net, and Enroth is 1-2-0 with a 3.20 GAA in his last four games against the Rangers, while Budaj has won three of four with a 2.17 GAA.


        Lucic has four points in two games, scoring a goal in each. He's netted three goals over the past two meetings with New York, but those came with Boston.


        The Rangers could use a strong stretch from Kevin Hayes, who ended a 12-game goal drought Thursday. The right wing has eight goals after netting 17 as a rookie last season. His failure to build on that made him a healthy scratch in back-to-back games last month.


        He has two points in two meetings with the Kings, finding the net in a 4-2 win at MSG on March 24.


        Jesper Fast snapped his streak of 11 games without a goal on Wednesday. The right wing, though, has seven points in his last eight contests but none in two against Los Angeles.


        "When you miss some of your top people, it's an opportunity for some other guys to step up," Vigneault said.


        Lundqvist's next appearance will be his 667th, moving him past Mike Richter for the Rangers record by a goaltender.

          Preview: Avalanche (28-25) at Red Wings (28-18)


          Date: February 12, 2016 7:30 PM EDT


          Petr Mrazek isn't lacking confidence in his first full NHL season. The Detroit Red Wings have plenty of it building in their emerging goaltender.


          Mrazek should get a chance to continue his recent dominance as the Red Wings go for a fourth straight win Friday night against the Colorado Avalanche.


          Mrazek, who turns 24 on Sunday, is 10-2-1 with a 1.31 goals-against average, .951 save percentage and three shutouts over his past 13 games after posting an 11-8-3 record and 2.32 GAA in his first 24.


          "Every goaltender, I think, has swagger and the confidence, you know, so it's important for the goaltender," Mrazek told the team's official website. "I just try and work hard, stay positive, stop as many pucks as you can."


          He stopped 22 Wednesday, coming 2:24 shy of back-to-back shutouts in a 3-1 win over Ottawa. Mrazek has allowed two goals on 75 shots during Detroit's three-game winning streak.


          "He's a wall back there for us," center Andreas Athanasiou said.


          That was certainly true while splitting a pair of meetings with Colorado last season. Mrazek allowed one goal on 51 shots, stopping 28 in a 3-0 road victory Feb. 5, 2015.


          Henrik Zetterberg had a point in each of those two matchups, giving him 38 in 41 career meetings including the playoffs. The center has three points in the last two games, including his 10th goal of the season Thursday.


          Dylan Larkin is facing the Avalanche for the first time. His 18 goals are tied with Chicago's Artemi Panarin for the league lead among rookies, while his 38 points trail only Panarin.


          Detroit (28-18-8) is 5-0-2 in its last seven meetings with Colorado.


          The Avalanche (28-25-4) have won 10 of their last 14 road games, including Thursday's 4-3 win at Ottawa after an 0-3-1 homestand.


          "It was a big win for us when it hasn't been going our way," right wing Jarome Iginla told the team's official website. "For them to come back and to make a very close game of it and to hold them off in the third period and play a good, smart game with the lead, it definitely feels good. Now we want to keep going.


          "It is a weight off our shoulders breaking the bad slide. Now we've got to build upon this."


          Iginla ended his nine-game goal drought by finding the net twice on power plays. His 604 career goals are four behind Dino Ciccarelli for 17th in NHL history.


          Iginla has eight goals in his last eight regular-season games at Detroit.


          Matt Duchene leads Colorado with 24 goals, three shy of his career high set in 2010-11. However, the center's production has slowed down considerably with two goals in 12 games.


          He's only scored twice over his last 11 matchups with the Red Wings.


          It's unknown if Semyon Varlamov will start after making 26 saves Thursday. He's started on consecutive days three times already this season, going 2-1-0 with a 1.69 GAA in the second game of those stretches.


          Varlamov, though, is 1-5-0 with a 3.09 GAA in six career meetings with the Red Wings, while backup Calvin Pickard made 34 saves and turned aside seven of nine shootout attempts in a 2-1 shootout win at Joe Louis Arena on Dec. 21, 2014.


          He's split four decisions with a 3.76 GAA in seven road games this season.

            Preview: Blues (30-17) at Panthers (32-16)


            Date: February 12, 2016 7:30 PM EDT


            Brian Elliott's stellar month-long stretch has kept the St. Louis Blues competitive during a time when their offense often hasn't been.


            The Blues hope Jaden Schwartz's long-awaited return provides a boost against one of the NHL's more efficient scoring teams in Friday night's with the Florida Panthers.


            While injuries and inconsistency have plagued the offense all season, St. Louis (30-17-9) has remained in contention in the top-heavy Central Division largely behind its steady defense. Elliott and fellow goaltender Jake Allen have each played key roles by combining for a 2.13 goals-against average and .922 save percentage.


            Though Allen has been sidelined by a knee injury since Jan. 8, Elliott hasn't faltered under the increased workload. The 2015 All-Star has a 1.67 GAA in his 12 consecutive starts and has yielded one goal or less in five of the last seven.


            "You can't complain about our goaltending, that's for dang sure," captain David Backes said following Elliott's 32-save effort in Tuesday's 2-1 shootout loss to Winnipeg.


            The Blues have still lost four of six in spite of Elliott's exploits, scoring no more than one goal in each game except for Sunday's 4-1 victory over reeling Minnesota. They were outshot 33-22 by the Jets, the Central's last-place team, to draw sharp criticism from coach Ken Hitchcock afterward.


            "You have to work, you have to compete when you have the puck and not be discouraged because you're getting checked," he said. "There's a reason why we're scoring just one goal."


            Having Schwartz in the lineup for the first time since Oct. 20 may help. The talented wing, third on the team with 28 goals and 63 points last season, has missed 49 games after fracturing his left ankle in practice.


            "When he's up to speed, he brings instant, quick offense that's hard to find," Hitchcock said. "He's a hungry scorer."


            Florida (32-16-6) figures to give Elliott a stern challenge having generated 34 goals over a 6-1-1 stretch. Temporarily shut down in Monday's 3-0 loss to Detroit that halted a four-game home win streak, the Panthers' offense got back on track with three first-period goals en route to Tuesday's 7-4 victory at Buffalo.


            "We needed to have a bounce-back game," said center Jussi Jokinen, who recorded a goal and two assists and has 12 points over his last eight. "We didn't create enough (against Detroit), and we wanted to change that."


            The Panthers still weren't overly sharp on defense, surrendering two power-play goals in four chances. They've killed just 14 of 20 short-handed situations over their last four games, while the St. Louis power play is 4 of 9 in the last two after an 0-for-19 stretch over the previous eight.


            Roberto Luongo had 30 saves against Buffalo and has faced 34 or more shots in four of his last five starts while allowing three goals or more in three straight.


            Luongo delivered a sharp 29-save effort and Derek MacKenzie scored twice in a 3-1 victory at St. Louis on Dec. 1 which stopped a six-game series skid.


            Blues defenseman Alex Pietrangelo (knee) and Florida forward Aleksander Barkov (upper body) will each miss a second straight game.

              Preview: Predators (25-21) at Lightning (29-20)


              Date: February 12, 2016 7:30 PM EDT


              Consecutive road losses by a total of six goals might have humbled Tampa Bay, but that seems easily correctable with it returning to a home winning streak that's nearing the level of its franchise record from last season.


              The Lightning begin a four-game homestand Friday night against the Nashville Predators, who conversely should be eager to try to continue an impressive road winning streak after a sluggish homestand.


              Tampa Bay (29-20-4) fell 4-2 in Montreal on Tuesday following Monday's 5-1 defeat in Ottawa to match its two-game high for goals allowed.


              "We were leaky tonight," coach Jon Cooper said. "When you're a little bit leaky, you're not getting the bounces you were getting in the past and we definitely have to tighten that up. It's been a little bit alarming."


              It came on the heels of a three-game homestand that pushed its winning streak in Tampa to eight - two shy of matching their record-setting streak from Dec. 11, 2014-Jan. 31, 2015. The Lightning may have been leaky on the quick road trip, but they've scored 3.50 goals per game on the home streak. They've also won 10 of their last 13 games overall.


              "We're not going to panic over 48 hours," Cooper said. "This is a humbling league. You can't get comfortable at any time. There's no panic mode for us."


              It might be easier to reassure themselves of that if Steven Stamkos could get going. The 26-year-old has scored once in his last 10 games, though he did have a goal in the first meeting with Nashville.


              The Predators opened the season series with a 5-4 shootout win in Nashville on Oct. 20 behind two goals and an assist from James Neal. The forward has seven goals and eight assists on a personal nine-game winning streak against the Lightning, but the first seven came with Pittsburgh. His current team has been about as good with wins in seven of eight against Tampa Bay, including four straight.


              The Predators (25-21-8) are following up a 1-3-0 homestand with the trip to Tampa followed by a stop in Florida, and they're doing so with a shot at their first five-game road winning streak since 2009-10. Their coach, however, isn't concerned with whom Nashville is facing or where.


              "We need to win games, whether it's the top team or somebody in the division or somebody that's not in the playoffs right now," Peter Laviolette told the team's official website. "We have to collect points."


              That'll be easier with a better defensive-zone presence after the Predators gave up 13 goals in their last three games on the homestand, including Tuesday's 5-2 loss to Washington.


              "We made a couple of bad mistakes," Laviolette said. "You can't leave opportunities that are coming across the crease, uncovered men. We need to do a better job in that area. There weren't a lot of them, but the ones that did happen, we need to do a better job."


              At the other end, Filip Forsberg scored twice and has three goals and two assists in his last two games.


              Both teams' No. 1 goaltenders could use a bounce-back effort. Nashville's Pekka Rinne has a 4.03 goals-against average and .831 save percentage over a 1-2-0 span, while Ben Bishop has 3.32 and .893 marks over a 2-2-0 period.


              Bishop has won his last four home games with a .940 save percentage, but he's 0-2-1 with 3.98 and .862 marks lifetime against the Predators.


              Rinne has won his last three road starts with a goal allowed in each and a .963 save percentage, and he's won all three of his games against the Lightning.

                Preview: Flames (25-25) at Coyotes (24-23)


                Date: February 12, 2016 9:00 PM EDT


                Just over three weeks ago, Arizona was sitting in second place and trying to snap a three-game losing streak to avoid conceding a spot in the standings. The Coyotes failed, and three Pacific Division foes have blown by them since.


                A fourth could be on the way Friday night with streaking Calgary stopping in Arizona to complete a back-to-back road set.


                The Coyotes (24-23-6) were tied with San Jose entering a head-to-head matchup on Jan. 21 and lost to complete a four-game losing streak. They followed it with two wins but have gone 0-4-1 since and are 2-7-2 dating to Jan. 14, watching Anaheim cruise by first before Vancouver did the same in Wednesday's 2-1 final.


                "They are tight games right now and you can't afford mistakes," coach Dave Tippett told the team's official website. "We are letting points slip away. We know exactly what we have to do and the points we have to gain. It hasn't been very fruitful lately."


                The 11-game span has furnished just 19 goals, though the power play has at least started to come around with a 4-for-13 mark in the last three following a 1-for-28 span. It's also been a struggle defensively with 23 goals allowed on the current five-game skid, and while some of that falls on goaltending, Arizona has allowed 35.8 shots per game in that time.


                "You can sit there and feel sorry for yourself and think you should've won," said Max Domi, who assisted on Martin Hanzal's second-period goal. "But at the end of the day, if you only score one goal it isn't going to cut it. We did some good things tonight, but at this time of the year just doing some things isn't really good enough."


                Louis Domingue has been in goal for four of those games, going 0-3-1 with a 4.94 goals-against average and .853 save percentage. He won his only game against Calgary on Jan. 7, making 25 saves in a 2-1 road victory.


                The Coyotes have opened the season series with consecutive wins by that score after losing the previous five with the Flames. Hanzal scored in both, as did Oliver Ekman-Larsson.


                Calgary (25-25-3) traveled after a late night in San Jose, winning 6-5 in a shootout after building a 4-1 first-period lead. It fell behind in the third before Kris Russell again tied it, and the Flames then killed a 5-on-3 to get it to overtime. The win was their third straight in a stretch where they've scored 13 goals, moving them one back of Arizona for fifth in the division.


                Mikael Backlund has scored in all three, and Sean Monahan has three goals and four assists in his last four games as the club masks defensive struggles resulting in eight goals in two games.


                "Gutsy effort from our guys," Bob Hartley said via the team's official Twitter feed. "I'm very proud of our team."


                Karri Ramo faced the Sharks and exited with a lower-body injury near the end of regulation, so Jonas Hiller will spend his 34th birthday between the pipes after earning the win over the Sharks in eight scoreless minutes.


                "We really needed these points, and I want nothing more than to help the team win," Hiller said.


                Hiller was in goal for Calgary's previous two wins and has gone 4-1-1 with a .942 save percentage in his last seven games.


                The former Anaheim goaltender has won eight straight versus the Coyotes as part of an 11-0-1 run with a 1.97 GAA since last losing to them in regulation on Nov. 23, 2011.

                  Grand Salami - February


                  The Grand Salami in pro hockey is decided by adding up all the goals scored in every game scheduled for that particular day. You can wager on 'over' or 'under' the Grand Salami total. The total is set by adding up all listed 'over/under' odds for each game on that particular day.


                  Note: The Grand Salami will have no action if any game is suspended or cancelled before the regulation time of three twenty minute periods. Also, regardless of the number of goals scored during the shoot out portion of the overtime, the final scored recorded for the game will give the winning team on more goal than its opponent based on the score at the end of regulation time.


                  *The majority of sportsbooks do not put out a total on the Grand Salami when there is only one game on the card. For tracking purposes, we will continue to show the 'over/under' for goals and combined goals scored on days with just one game.

                        Preview: Montreal at Buffalo
                        When: 7:00 PM ET, Friday, February 12, 2016
                        Where: First Niagara Center, Buffalo, New York
                        The Montreal Canadiens have turned their fortunes around with a three-game winning streak and look to continue the recovery when they visit the Buffalo Sabres on Friday. The Canadiens suffered through a 1-8-1 stretch before Ben Scrivens shut the door in net and Tomas Plekanec provided offense in wins over Edmonton, Carolina and Tampa Bay.
                        Plekanec scored a pair of goals in the 4-2 victory over Tampa Bay on Tuesday and has collected seven points during the winning stretch while All-Star defenseman P.K. Subban is riding a seven-game point streak. The Canadiens trounced the Sabres 7-2 during their season-opening nine-game run but have slowly fallen out of a playoff position since. Buffalo is building for the future while riding a roller coaster this season and currently resides near the bottom of the league with 48 points. The Sabres dropped a 5-1 decision to Philadelphia on Thursday to extend their winless streak to four games (0-2-2).
                        TV: 7 p.m. ET, Sportsnet East, RDS (Montreal), MSG (Buffalo)
                        ABOUT THE CANADIENS (27-24-4): While there have been plenty of positives over the last three games, Montreal has some injury concerns. Jeff Petry (day-to-day) missed the last contest while fellow defenseman Nathan Beaulieu (day-to-day) and Brian Flynn (six-to-eight weeks) went down Tuesday – all with lower-body injuries – and center Jacob De La Rose was recalled. Scrivens was winless in four games with the Canadiens before recording three straight solid performances, allowing four goals on 98 shots.
                        ABOUT THE SABRES (21-28-6): Buffalo registered 42 shots in the loss at Philadelphia on Thursday, with Evander Kane leading the way with eight and Justin Bailey recording seven in his NHL debut. Rookie Jack Eichel also had seven shots but remains tied with Sam Reinhart at 16 goals – one behind team leader Ryan O’Reilly, who has not scored in 14 games. Chad Johnson, who is expected to get the start against Montreal, has allowed two goals or fewer in five of his last six contests.
                        OVERTIME
                        1. Montreal RW Brendan Gallagher has recorded four points and a plus-6 rating during the winning streak.
                        2. Buffalo C Daniel Catenacci went through concussion testing Thursday after absorbing a hit by Philadelphia’s Radko Gudas and is doubtful for Friday.
                        3. The Sabres have earned at least one point in five of the last six games in the series (4-1-1).
                        PREDICTION: Canadiens 4, Sabres 2

                          Preview: Los Angeles at NY Rangers
                          When: 7:00 PM ET, Friday, February 12, 2016
                          Where: Madison Square Garden, New York, New York
                          The New York Rangers aim for their fifth consecutive victory when they host the Pacific Division-leading Los Angeles Kings on Friday. New York’s December swoon has become a distant memory as the club has followed a 6-4-1 month of January by posting its first four-game winning streak since a nine-game run from Oct. 25-Nov. 15.
                          The Rangers’ current surge, which includes a shutout victory over red-hot Pittsburgh on Wednesday, has helped them maintain second place in the Metropolitan Division as they begin a three-game homestand. Los Angeles kicked off its season-high seven-game trek Tuesday by routing Boston for its third straight road win, but fell to the New York Islanders two nights later. The Kings, who entered Thursday with a seven-point lead in the Pacific, are hoping Jonathan Quick can make a rapid recovery after missing the 5-2 loss to the Islanders with a lower-body injury. The Rangers and Kings split their two-game series last season, with each team emerging victorious on the road.
                          TV: 7 p.m. ET, NHL Network, FSN West (Los Angeles), MSG (New York)
                          ABOUT THE KINGS (32-18-3): With Quick sidelined, Los Angeles summoned Peter Budaj from Ontario of the American Hockey League to serve as Jhonas Enroth’s backup. The 33-year-old Budaj has not appeared in the NHL since 2013-14, when he went 10-8-3 with a 2.51 goals-against average in 24 games with Montreal. Defenseman Kevin Gravel finally realized his dream Thursday by playing in an NHL contest for the first time since being selected in the fifth round of the 2010 draft.
                          ABOUT THE RANGERS (31-18-5): Henrik Lundqvist’s next game will be the 667th of his career, moving him past Mike Richter for first place on the franchise list among goaltenders. The 33-year-old Swede surpassed Martin Brodeur for most victories in his first 11 seasons by posting his 366th on Wednesday. Rick Nash is unlikely to get the opportunity to end his nine-game goal-scoring drought as he figures to miss his eighth consecutive contest with a leg injury.

                          1. The Rangers also are expected to be without D Ryan McDonagh, who has missed two straight contests with a concussion.
                          2. Los Angeles LW Milan Lucic has scored in back-to-back games for the first time since Dec. 5 and 6.
                          3. Rangers C Derick Brassard shares the team lead with 18 goals and is one shy of matching the career high he set last season.
                          PREDICTION: Rangers 4, Kings 3

                            Preview: Pittsburgh at Carolina
                            When: 7:00 PM ET, Friday, February 12, 2016
                            Where: PNC Arena, Raleigh, North Carolina
                            The Carolina Hurricanes kick off their weekend celebration honoring the 10-year anniversary of the franchise’s lone Stanley Cup title on Friday when they open a three-game homestand against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Cam Ward, who won the 2006 Conn Smythe Trophy, would love nothing more than another chance to compete for the Stanley Cup as he plays in the final season of a six-year, $37.8 million contract.
                            “I would appreciate it a little more now that I’m in my older years and been in the league a lot longer,” Ward told the Raleigh News & Observer. “I hope to get that opportunity again.” The 31-year-old Ward improved to 16-7-3 in his career versus Pittsburgh after he made 37 saves in Carolina’s 2-1 win on Dec. 19 and turned aside 23 shots in a 3-2 overtime victory on Jan. 12. Ward sat out the next meeting five nights later as Penguins captain Sidney Crosby scored twice in a 5-0 rout. Pittsburgh was on the wrong end of a shutout on Wednesday, however, as Crosby saw his career-high seven-game goal streak and 11-game point stretch come to a halt in a 3-0 setback to the New York Rangers.

                            ABOUT THE PENGUINS (27-19-7): Marc-Andre Fleury ignited a five-game winning streak by turning aside all 22 shots he faced against Carolina on Jan. 17. While Fleury is expected back in net, it is uncertain if defenseman Trevor Daley will be on the ice after he got tangled up with Rangers forward Jesper Fast and was slammed awkwardly into the goal post. Fellow blue-liner Ian Cole is waiting in the wings should Daley be unable to play on Friday.
                            ABOUT THE HURRICANES (24-21-9): All-Star defenseman Justin Faulk left practice early on Thursday after colliding with the boards. Coach Bill Peters did not provide an update on the condition of Faulk, whose 34 points lead the team and his 15 goals are second only to Jeff Skinner. Speaking of Skinner, the former Calder Trophy recipient is riding high on a five-game point streak (two goals, four assists) in addition to scoring the winning goal in overtime against Pittsburgh on Jan. 12.
                            OVERTIME
                            1. Carolina C Jordan Staal has scored two goals and set up seven others in his last seven games, but has tallied just once in 11 career meetings against his former team.
                            2. Pittsburgh LW Chris Kunitz has collected three goals and two assists in his last five road contests.
                            3. The Stanley Cup will be at PNC Arena on Friday.
                            PREDICTION: Penguins 3, Hurricanes 2

                              Preview: Colorado at Detroit
                              When: 7:30 PM ET, Friday, February 12, 2016
                              Where: Joe Louis Arena, Detroit, Michigan
                              Detroit general manager Ken Holland told reporters Wednesday that Petr Mrazek would be the Red Wings’ No. 1 goaltender for the rest of the season, but the game log shows it’s been that way for quite some time. Mrazek, who is 10-2-1 in his last 13 games, leads the NHL in save percentage (.934) and goals-against average (1.94) as Detroit tries for its fourth consecutive victory when it hosts the Colorado Avalanche on Friday.
                              Mrazek started 17 of the first 31 games while sharing the duties with Jimmy Howard, but Howard has started only five times – with four losses in second contests of back-to-back games – since Mrazek took over Dec. 20. “I think he’s played real good for a while now,” Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill told reporters of Mrazek after Wednesday’s 3-1 victory over Ottawa. “I’d also say that our team defense has something to do with that. Our guys have really, really played good defensively.”
                              While Mrazek’s play has helped Detroit move into second place in the Atlantic Division, Colorado gained possession of the top wild-card spot in the Western Conference after snapping a four-game losing streak (0-3-1) with a 4-3 victory in Ottawa on Thursday. “It was a big win for us when it hasn’t been going our way,” right wing Jarome Iginla told reporters after scoring a pair of power-play goals to increase his career total to 604. “… It is a weight off our shoulders breaking the bad slide. Now we’ve got to build upon this.”
                              TV: 7:30 p.m. ET, Altitude (Colorado), FSN Detroit
                              ABOUT THE AVALANCHE (28-25-4): Iginla scored only once in 14 games prior to Thursday’s outburst, which moved him into a tie for 22nd with Pat Verbeek on the NHL’s all-time power-play goal list with 186. Nathan McKinnon has a club-leading 44 points after recording his 19th goal Thursday – also on the power play, which was 3-for-4 against the league’s worst penalty-killing unit after Colorado went 3-for-31 in its previous nine games. Carl Soderberg has six points in his last six games after recording a pair of assists Thursday, increasing his team-high total to 29 – three shy of his career high.
                              ABOUT THE RED WINGS (28-18-8): Rookie Dylan Larkin boasts the team lead in goals (18) and points (38), and recorded three goals and two assists in the three games prior to being kept off the scoresheet against Ottawa. Captain Henrik Zetterberg (club-best 27 assists) scored his 10th goal Wednesday after recording a pair of assists in Monday’s 3-0 victory over Florida. Defenseman Danny DeKeyser is day-to-day with a bruised right knee after he was struck with a Dion Phaneuf slap shot Wednesday while defenseman Mike Green missed his second straight game Wednesday because of a sore groin despite participating in the morning skate.
                              OVERTIME
                              1. Detroit C Pavel Datsyuk, who has two goals and three assists during a three-game point streak, needs two points for 900 in his career.
                              2. Colorado F Jack Skille (concussion) and G Reto Berra (ankle) did not accompany the team on the flight to Ottawa and remain on the injured-reserve list.
                              3. This is the first of two meetings this season with the second Feb. 27 at Coors Field – home of the Colorado Rockies – in the Coors Light Stadium Series. … The road team has won five straight encounters.
                              PREDICTION: Avalanche 3, Red Wings 2
