Saturday in the NHL is packed with games, 13 in total! Get ready for a busy day of hockey action.
With so many games, let`s break down each matchup to see what`s at stake for every team, from playoff contenders to those vying for better draft lottery odds.
New York Rangers at New Jersey Devils
12:30 p.m. ET
The rivalry between the Rangers and Devils is always exciting, especially when both are in the playoff hunt. The Devils are currently ahead, and these points are vital for the Rangers as they chase a wild card spot.
Florida Panthers at Ottawa Senators
2 p.m. ET
This game could be a first or second round playoff preview. For now, it`s their last regular-season meeting. Matthew Tkachuk is unfortunately still injured.
Pittsburgh Penguins at Dallas Stars
3 p.m. ET
The Penguins are barely in the playoff race and need wins. The Stars are already in the playoffs but are aiming for the top seed in their division.
Anaheim Ducks at Vancouver Canucks
4 p.m. ET
The Ducks are out of playoff contention and near the top of the draft lottery. The Canucks` playoff hopes are fading.
Edmonton Oilers at Los Angeles Kings
4 p.m. ET
These teams have met in the first round of the playoffs the last three years, with Edmonton winning each time. Could this be a playoff preview again?
Carolina Hurricanes at Boston Bruins
7 p.m. ET
The Hurricanes have clinched a playoff spot and are likely to be the second seed in their division. The Bruins are likely to miss the playoffs for the first time since 2015-16 and are looking at a high draft pick.
Tampa Bay Lightning at Buffalo Sabres
7 p.m. ET
The Lightning have been strong recently and are aiming for the top spot in their division. The Sabres are likely missing the playoffs again and are in the draft lottery conversation.
Columbus Blue Jackets at Toronto Maple Leafs
7 p.m. ET
The Blue Jackets are still in the wild card race and need points. The Maple Leafs are leading their division and could face the Senators in the first round if they hold on.
Philadelphia Flyers at Montreal Canadiens
7 p.m. ET
The Canadiens are currently holding a wild card spot, surprisingly after finishing low last season. The Flyers are in the draft lottery range.
Colorado Avalanche at St. Louis Blues
7 p.m. ET
While not a first-round preview, these hot teams could meet later in the playoffs. The Blues have moved into a wild card spot, and the Avalanche look set as the third seed in their division.
Winnipeg Jets at Utah Hockey Club
7 p.m. ET
Utah is playing meaningful games late in the season, a win in itself. They could even sneak into the playoffs. The Jets are competing for the Presidents` Trophy as the league`s best team.
Vegas Golden Knights at Calgary Flames
10 p.m. ET
The Golden Knights` division lead has shrunk, but they are still in a good position. The Flames are trying to catch a wild card spot.
Seattle Kraken at San Jose Sharks
10 p.m. ET
This game is crucial for draft lottery standings. The Sharks are currently in last place, but only slightly ahead of the Blackhawks. The Kraken are also in the lottery mix.
