It's a typically light Monday night in the NHL, but all three games are rare interconference matchups, meaning teams will only pair off twice during the 2026-27 season. The Los Angeles Kings visit the New York Rangers, featuring Artemi Panarin's return to Madison Square Garden as a King after 12 years with the club. Toronto Maple Leafs face the Calgary Flames, who have won four of their past five games, including narrow victories over the Hurricanes and Wild.
Detroit Red Wings visit the Edmonton Oilers, who are without their usual home-ice advantage after a recent loss to Toronto. Edmonton's "big three" of McDavid, Draisaitl and Bouchard lead the scoring, while Detroit's Alex De Brincat is tied for 29th. The Oilers and Wings split the 2025-26 season series, with the home team winning each game.
