The Columbus Blue Jackets head to Xfinity Mobile Arena on Tuesday night for a 7:00 PM matchup with the Philadelphia Flyers in a game that matters quite a bit in the Metropolitan race. Columbus comes in at 37-22-11 and sitting third in the division, while Philadelphia is 34-23-12 and trying to keep climbing from fifth. ESPN+ has the broadcast, and the market has Columbus as a short road favorite in what feels like one of the tighter games on the NHL board. This is a good test for both teams. Columbus has been the hotter side over the bigger sample, winning eight of its last 10, but it just had a long point streak snapped. Philadelphia is coming home off

The Chicago Blackhawks head to UBS Arena on Tuesday night for a 7:00 PM matchup with the New York Islanders in a game that means very different things for each side. Chicago comes in at 26-32-13 and well out of the playoff picture, while New York is 40-26-5 and still fighting for every point in a crowded Eastern race.

New Mexico has a clear situational edge. The Lobos are at home, they play fast, and they already looked sharp in this NIT run with a 107-83 win over Sam

The Wichita State Shockers head to the Reynolds Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on Tuesday, March 24 for a 7:00 PM ET tip against the Tulsa Golden Hurricane in an NIT quarterfinal matchup on ESPN2. Wichita State enters at 24-11 overall after two NIT wins, while Tulsa is 28-7 and has been excellent on its home floor all season. The teams split their two regular-season meetings, with each side winning at home, so there is a little familiarity here and, honestly, that matters this time of year. This is also a strong situational spot for Tulsa. The Golden Hurricane are 15-2 at home, they have been one of the steadier AAC teams all season, and they come in off a comfortable
