NHL Games on Monday, Feb. 5

Rest Notes: The league returns from the better part of a week without action, and the first teams to clock out of January make their returns to kick us off. Colorado is the most rested of this group, but when we’re getting into eight days versus nine, how much does it really matter?

NHL Games on Tuesday, Feb. 6

Rest Away Team Time Home Team Rest
9 Calgary Flames 7:00 PM Boston Bruins 9
9 Dallas Stars 7:00 PM Buffalo Sabres 9
9 Vancouver Canucks 7:00 PM Carolina Hurricanes 9

9 Edmonton Oilers 10:00 PM Vegas Golden Knights 9

Rest Notes: The Avs will give us our first test for this week, as to whether or not it’s better to have an extended rest or no rest! Road back-to-backs are always difficult, though going from MSG to New Jersey is a little easier.

0 Dallas Stars 7:00 PM Toronto Maple Leafs 1
10 Minnesota Wild 9:30 PM Chicago Blackhawks 10

Rest Notes: Dallas-Toronto gives us our first game in normal-ish , though the Stars are playing the second half of a road back-to-back here. Like Colorado, it’s a short commute, going from Buffalo to Toronto.

NHL Games on Thursday, Feb. 8

Rest Away Team Time Home Team Rest
1 Vancouver Canucks 7:00 PM Boston Bruins 1
1 Washington Capitals 7:00 PM Florida Panthers 1
1 Calgary Flames 7:00 PM New Jersey Devils 1
1 Winnipeg Jets 7:00 PM Philadelphia Flyers 1
0 Tampa Bay Lightning 7:30 PM New York Islanders 2
1 Colorado Avalanche 8:00 PM Carolina Hurricanes 1

Rest Notes: At this stage, most of the league has gotten back into a groove, with just a few holdouts still coming back from vacation. Tampa has the worst break with a back-to-back against the Islanders’ two days of rest. Colorado is playing their third game in four nights. Arizona awakens from its slumber.

NHL Games on Friday, Feb. 9

Rest Away Team Time Home Team Rest
2 Pittsburgh Penguins 8:00 PM Minnesota Wild 1
1 New York Rangers 8:30 PM Chicago Blackhawks 1
2 Edmonton Oilers 10:00 PM Anaheim Ducks 8
Make your plays on NHL action at

Rest Notes: The Ducks are the only team that won’t have a post-all-star game under their belt on this list. If the Edmonton Oilers get their 17th win on Tuesday, that mismatch might look extra spicy. Pittsburgh has a slight advantage over Minnesota.

NHL Games on Saturday, Feb. 10

10 St. Louis Blues 1:00 PM Buffalo Sabres 3
1 Vancouver Canucks 1:00 PM Detroit Red Wings 9

Rest Notes: Finally, the rest of the league wraps up their byes and returns to the ice. Outside of the obvious vacation vs. regular rest matchups, there aren’t many significant differences here. Pittsburgh and Edmonton each play their second of a back-to-back, Tampa plays their third in four nights, and Colorado plays their fourth in six.

NHL Games on Sunday, Feb. 11

Rest Notes: Finally, a day without any vacation-returners… and it’s all back-to-back. From over-rested to no rest, I suppose! True normalcy returns next week.
