The Bruins have enjoyed a sizzling hot start to the season (9-1 in their first 10 games), while the Maple Leafs have underachieved against lesser teams to begin their season, though they are coming off a 5-2 win over the Flyers. Tonight, they face off against each other in Toronto, where the pressure to succeed is always dialled up.
Another Original Six matchup, as the Rangers play host to an up-and-coming Red Wings team that is looking to improve on the 74 points they racked up last season.

The 1972 expansion cousins clash tonight on Long Island, as the Flames finally take to the road after playing at home for nine of their first ten games.

It’s proven tougher to take on the Kraken so far in this their sophomore season. Seattle recently beat the Calgary Flames, in Calgary, 5-4.

The return of former Sabres’ forward Jack Eichel, as the red-hot Golden Knights clash with the surprisingly effective Sabres.

The Penguins at Maple Leafs meet up in Toronto on Remembrance Day in Canada (Veteran’s Day in the United States).
