Penguins Host Capitals
The matchup between the Penguins and Capitals carries extra weight with one player entering his final season. At age 40, Evgeni Malkin leads his club with two goals and two assists. Washington added Alex Tuch, who scored his first two goals with the team in the opener. Both sides feature rookies in goalie Sergei Murashov and defenseman Cole Hutson.
Avalanche Visit Jets
Expectations differed sharply for these Central Division sides entering the year. Winnipeg opened with a 2-0-1 mark and sits ahead of Colorado. Stuart Skinner and Clay Stevenson have posted a.918 save percentage through three games without their usual starter. The Avalanche scored 14 goals across their first two contests, with Nathan MacKinnon collecting five points in that span.
Oilers Close Out Ducks
Edmonton also tallied 14 goals in its first two games before adding three more in a later win. Anaheim arrives undefeated after early victories and previously defeated the Oilers 4-2 in a playoff series. The contest will test whether the Ducks can contain the visitors' top forwards and defenseman.
