Evgeni Malkin is mired in a scoring funk - well, by his standards - as the 2012 Hart Trophy winner has failed to dent the scoresheet in each of his last four games. Pittsburgh's leader in assists (13) and points (20), Malkin will look to get back on track as he plays his 800th career NHL game on Tuesday when the Penguins visit the New Jersey Devils.

The New York Islanders came up empty in the Sunshine State after registering at least one point in seven consecutive games (5-0-2), including three straight at home. New York looks to begin a similar streak when it kicks off another three-game stretch at Barclays Center on Tuesday against the Vancouver Canucks.

Captain Claude Giroux and the Philadelphia Flyers are on quite the roll, as the former has collected three goals and five assists during his last three games to help the latter improve to 5-0-1 in its last six. Giroux, who was named the NHL's Third Star of the Week, and the Flyers aim to continue their respective torrid stretches on Tuesday when they host the Florida Panthers.

The Buffalo Sabres are looking more like a contender this season by finding ways to pull out games and will look to test themselves against the Eastern Conference-leading Tampa Bay Lightning at home Tuesday night. The Sabres knocked off Montreal 6-5 in overtime on Thursday before rallying late to tie and later defeat red-hot Vancouver 4-3 in a shootout Saturday to extend their home point streak to four (3-0-1).

The surging Detroit Red Wings hope to make it much easier on themselves as they go for a fourth straight victory Tuesday night when the improving Arizona Coyotes pay a visit. The Red Wings have won each of their last three games after regulation - two in shootouts - and own six victories in the past seven outings overall following a rough start to the season when they dropped nine of 10 contests (1-7-2).

The Minnesota Wild are off to the best start in franchise history after finishing a strong road trip and look to continue their surge when the reigning Stanley Cup champion Washington Capitals pay a visit Tuesday night. The Wild have accumulated 24 points - most ever through 17 games for the club - after going 5-2-0 on a monster road trip and have not lost in regulation at home this season (5-0-2).

The Canadiens begin their three-game swing through western Canada against the struggling Edmonton Oilers on Sunday and hope Max Domi continues the torrid start to his career in Montreal. Domi was suspended in the preseason for punching unwilling Florida defenseman Aaron Ekblad but has burst out of the gate with nine goals and 21 points in 17 contests, and is riding his second six-game point streak of the campaign.

The Toronto Maple Leafs bid to rebound from their first loss away from home on Tuesday against the Los Angeles Kings, who are wrapping up their season-high seven-game homestand. The Maple Leafs saw their three-game winning streak come to a halt and fell to 6-1-0 on the road following a disheartening 5-1 setback at Boston on Saturday.

Joe Pavelski helped the San Jose Sharks end one streak and continue another last time out with his best offensive effort of the season. The 34-year-old captain seeks a repeat performance on Tuesday as the Sharks aim for their fourth straight win at SAP Center when they continue their six-game homestand with a contest against the Nashville Predators.
