The New York Knicks travel north of the border to take on the Toronto Raptors at Scotiabank Arena on Wednesday, January 28. Tipoff is at 7:30 p.m. ET in a battle between two Eastern Conference teams trending in opposite directions. The Knicks, despite being short underdogs, have the clear edge in form and cohesion, while the Raptors continue to struggle post-trade deadline shake-ups. Toronto is a slim -2 favorite at home, with a moneyline of -128. The Knicks sit at +108 as road dogs, and the total is listed at 224.5. The Raptors haven’t been reliable in any role recently, but market respect still exists. Is that mispriced, or is there value on the home side? These are the current

The Colorado Avalanche head to Canadian Tire Centre to face the Ottawa Senators on Wednesday, January 28, 2026 at 7:30 PM, with the game streaming on ESPN+. Colorado is still the class of the league at 35-6-9, and it feels like they’re trying to snap back into that ruthless, road-trip killer mode after a brief wobble. Ottawa sits at 24-21-7, and while the standings pressure is real, they just reminded everyone what their ceiling looks like with that 7-1 statement against Vegas.

The Philadelphia Flyers hit the road again Wednesday night for a Metropolitan Division matchup with the Columbus Blue Jackets at Nationwide Arena. Puck drop is set for 7:30 PM ET, and it’s on TNT. Philadelphia comes in at 24-18-9, while Columbus sits at 24-20-7, and this one matters because neither team has real margin for error in a crowded East race. The Flyers just laid an egg in a 4-0 home loss to the Islanders, and the quotes afterward weren’t subtle. Rick Tocchet called out the backcheck and the overall effort. That’s usually the kind of public push that either sharpens a team fast, or tells you something is off. Columbus, meanwhile, had a game postponed by weather, so the

The New York Rangers visit the New York Islanders on Wednesday, January 28, 2026 at 7:00 PM ET at UBS Arena in Elmont, N.Y. It’s a rivalry game with real standings weight: the Rangers are 22-25-6 and trying to stabilize after another rough stretch, while the Islanders are 28-19-5 and protecting a top-three spot in the Metropolitan. This one also has that weird “business side” feel. The Rangers just moved defenseman Carson Soucy to the Islanders, and now he could be in the building immediately for the first leg of a home-and-home. The market has the Islanders favored (Islanders moneyline -148, Rangers moneyline +126), and the handicap starts with one question that always matters in these games: who’s actually in
