The New York Islanders are in Boston where defenseman Johnny Boychuk will get an opportunity to face the team that traded him in a salary cap related move just a week before the start of the regular season. The Penguins are in Detroit for a rematch of the 2008 and 2009 Stanley Cup Finals while Pittsburgh looks like to bounce back from a disappointing performance against the Philadelphia Flyers on Wednesday.
The matchup of the night, however, might be in Nashville where the Blackhawks and Predators, off to a surprisingly fast start, face off in a meeting of the last two teams in the league yet to lose a game in regulation this season.
