Welcome to NHL On Tap, where three NHL.com writers dive into what they’re most excited about on the daily schedule. Today, we’ll take a look at the 14 games happening this Wednesday.
The Florida Panthers are hoping to extend their impressive six-game home-winning streak as they face off against the Boston Bruins at the Amerant Bank Arena (7 p.m. ET; MAX, TNT, TVAS). With a 12-5-1 record, the Panthers have been on fire lately, winning seven of their last eight games. Boston’s David Pastrnak will be the one to watch as he aims to continue his impressive seven-game point streak with 15 points, including a goal and an assist in the Bruins’ last game.
The Dallas Stars also have revenge on their minds as they take on the Vegas Golden Knights at American Airlines Center on Wednesday (9:30 p.m. ET; TNT, MAX, SCRIPPS). Having suffered a series of losses against the Golden Knights, the Stars are eager to turn the tables, especially given their difficult history in the 2023 Western Conference Final. Stars coach Peter DeBoer, who was previously fired by Vegas, is sure to have some revenge on his mind as well.
Meanwhile, two of the NHL’s best defensemen, Quinn Hughes of the Vancouver Canucks and Cale Makar of the Colorado Avalanche, are set to face off for the first time this season at Ball Arena on Wednesday (10 p.m. ET; ALT, SNP). Both players have been putting up impressive numbers, making this game a must-watch for any hockey fan.
In addition to these matchups, there are 11 other games scheduled for Wednesday, including Edmonton Oilers at Carolina Hurricanes, Chicago Blackhawks at Columbus Blue Jackets, New Jersey Devils at Detroit Red Wings, New York Rangers at Pittsburgh Penguins, Winnipeg Jets at Tampa Bay Lightning, Buffalo Sabres at Washington Capitals, Philadelphia Flyers at New York Islanders, St. Louis Blues at Arizona Coyotes, and Calgary Flames at Nashville Predators.
It’s going to be an action-packed Wednesday in the NHL, and we can’t wait to see how it all unfolds!
