Vancouver Canucks vs. Florida Panthers
As you might expect, the Vancouver Canucks are struggling on the longest road trip in NHL history, although they are hoping their struggles can end by keeping the struggles of the Florida Panthers alive when the teams meet in South Florida on Thursday night. The Canucks (35-21-2)...
Los Angeles Lakers vs Orlando Magic
Seven months after they played for the right to call themselves “World Champions,” the Orlando Magic and Los Angeles Lakers renew hostilities for the first time since the NBA Finals when they face off Monday night at the Staples Center. The champions, the Lakers (31-9) have rolled...
Anaheim Ducks vs. Boston Bruins
The Anaheim Ducks made a push late in the season that took them from an after thought in the Western Conference playoffs to a first-round upset of the President’s Trophy winner San Jose Sharks last spring and were an overtime goal away from knocking off the future Western Conference...
Detroit Red Wings vs New York Islanders
The Detroit Red Wings have been one of the best teams in hockey, and professional sports, for the better part of two decades. The New York Islanders—well, not so much. The two teams, however, find some kinship with each other as the Red Wings travel to Long Island for the first...
Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Philadelphia Flyers

Boston Celtics vs Washington Wizards
The Boston Celtics are starting to show that last year’s tumble to the second seed and second round exit was a bit of an aberration as they continue to rack of victories, now reaching eight games. The Celtics hit the road but fully expect their streak to continue against the woeful...
Philadelphia 76ers vs. Detroit Pistons
It has been an interesting week for Philadelphia 76ers star Allen Iverson. First he was reintroduced as a player for the Sixers, a team he had played from being drafted in 1996 to being traded to the Denver Nuggets in 2007. He was then traded by the Nuggets to the Detroit Pistons...
St. Louis Blues vs Boston Bruins
With each team looking for their first three-game winning streak of the season, the Boston Bruins and St. Louis Blues hope a winning streak will help them begin to put some mustard in their otherwise non-descript season. The Bruins (10-8-4) ran off to the Eastern Conference’s best...
