What Happened
Tonight, the NHL features eight games on its schedule, including two nationally televised matchups in the United States and Canada. Notable games include the Los Angeles Kings hosting the Vegas Golden Knights and the New Jersey Devils facing off against the Buffalo Sabres.
Why It Matters
The Kings are looking to improve their playoff chances with the debut of Artemi Panarin, acquired from the New York Rangers. The Kings currently sit three points behind the Anaheim Ducks for the second wild card spot in the Western Conference. Meanwhile, the Devils will see the return of Olympic star Jack Hughes, which could significantly impact their performance against the Sabres.
What’s Next
Fans can tune in to the games starting at 7:00 PM ET with the Devils vs. Sabres matchup, followed by the Kings vs. Golden Knights at 10:00 PM ET. The outcomes of these games could have significant implications for playoff standings as the season progresses.
