Tuesday night in Houston brings a matchup between two clubs trying to stop ugly slides. The Colorado Rockies come into Daikin Park at 6-10, sitting fourth in the NL West and carrying a four-game losing streak. The Houston Astros are in even worse shape at 6-11, last in the AL West, and they have dropped eight straight after a brutal 1-9 road trip. First pitch is set for 8:10 PM ET in Houston, with Michael Lorenzen lined up for Colorado and left-hander Colton Gordon expected to make his season debut for Houston. This game matters because both teams need a reset, but the pressure feels heavier on the Astros. Houston is finally back home after getting swept in Seattle, and

Tuesday night at Nationwide Arena has a strange feel to it. On paper, it looked like a win-and-stay-alive kind of spot, but Philadelphia’s win on Monday officially knocked both Washington and Columbus out of the playoff race before puck drop. So this 7 p.m. EDT matchup on ESPN is no longer about grabbing the final berth. It is about finishing clean, maybe sending a message, and in Washington’s case, possibly skating through what could be Alex Ovechkin’s final NHL game if he decides this summer that he is done.

The Devils and Bruins close the regular season Tuesday night at TD Garden, with puck drop set for 7:00 p.m. ET. New Jersey comes in at 42-36-3 and already out of the playoff picture, while Boston is 44-27-10 with 98 points and still has a real incentive here because the Bruins can hold onto the top wild-card spot in the East with one more clean result. The game is available on ESPN+, with local coverage in the Boston and New Jersey markets as well. That matters because this is not just a meaningless finale for Boston. The Bruins snapped a five-game skid on Sunday with a 3-2 win in Columbus, and Marco Sturm said the focus is getting back to

The Montreal Canadiens close the regular season on Tuesday night at Xfinity Mobile Arena, visiting the Philadelphia Flyers in a 7:00 p.m. ET matchup that still carries some weight for both sides. Montreal enters 48-23-10 and is still trying to secure a better first-round setup, while Philadelphia is 42-27-12 and coming off the emotional push of clinching its first playoff berth since 2020. ESPN+ is carrying the game, and the market has Montreal installed as the road favorite with the total sitting at 6.5 goals. Montreal has been the steadier team for most of the season, and the recent form backs that up. The Canadiens just handled the Islanders 4-1, and Nick Suzuki reached 100 points in the process. Philadelphia,
