Calgary Flames at Minnesota Wild (8 PM ET)
Since posting a club-record eighth straight win on January 2nd by beating Atlanta 5-1, Minnesota has lost four consecutive games at the Xcel Energy Center. That skid has matched the team record, set during its inaugural 2000-01 season. EDGE: FLAMES
Calgary has won two straight and seven of nine to move atop the Pacific division. The Flames are 8-1-1 in their last 10 games against Minnesota. BIG EDGE: FLAMES

The favorite is 9-1 in the last 10 meetings.
The home team is 5-0 in the last five meetings.

New Jersey Devils at Tampa Bay Lightning (8 PM ET)
The Devils led the Atlantic Division by a single point over the Rangers on December 25th but have gone 10-1-2 since. EDGE: DEVILS
Tampa Bay has won seven of its last eight winning each of those contests by one goal. EDGE: LIGHTNING
The Devils are opening a four-game road trip and goaltender Martin Brodeur has been outstanding away from home. The nine-time All-Star has won his last four road starts, posting a 0.74 GAA and two shutouts as New Jersey outscored its opponents 10-3 in that stretch. BIG EDGE: DEVILS & UNDER

Tampa Bay is 5-0 in its last five games as an underdog.

San Jose Sharks at Edmonton Oilers (9 PM ET)
The Sharks have scored 37 goals in their last nine games, winning three straight and seven of their last nine away from home. San Jose has 15 road wins this season, which is the second-best total in the West. EDGE: SHARKS
Edmonton is 2-0 against San Jose this season and beat the Sharks in six games in the second round of the playoffs last season. The Oilers have won six straight and 10 of the last 13 meetings. BIG EDGE: OILERS

The Oilers are 0-5 in their last five games playing on three or more days of rest.

Los Angeles Kings at Vancouver Canucks (10 PM ET)
Vancouver won 10 of their last 12 games entering the All-Star break and have won 12 of their past 14 at GM Place. BIG EDGE: CANUCKS
Los Angeles has a dismal 5-16 record on the road this season. After playing an NHL-high 29 home games before the All-Star break, the Kings will play eight of their next nine away from home. EDGE: CANUCKS

The OVER is 7-1-1 in the Canucks' last nine home games following a road trip of seven or more days.
