a Shorthanded Goal from Winnipeg Jets vs. Montreal Canadiens

The Blackhawks and Edmonton Oilers will square off in a five-game play-in series in the NHL’s 2019-20 restart, and a tentative schedule has officially been released for their matchup.

In the case of the Colorado Avalanche’s Tuesday signings, the most noteworthy name is one that wasn’t on the list. Defenseman Nikita Zadorov still needs a deal, which means there’s still at least some threat that he’d leave for the KHL. A little more than a week ago, reports surfaced that Zadorov may strike a deal with CSKA, although he’s willing to give the Avalanche until the end of the month to come up with a better deal.

Pre-game coverage begins at 7 p.m. ET on NBCSN, Peacock, and the NBC Sports app.
