The Vancouver Canucks visit the Seattle Kraken on Saturday, February 28, 2026, at Climate Pledge Arena, and this one feels bigger than “two points.” Seattle is sitting in a wild-card spot but came out of the Olympic break flat, and the trade deadline is close enough that every sleepy performance gets magnified. Vancouver is in a different situation entirely, last in the league and losing again, but they’ve been better on the road than at home and they’ve gotten a few bodies back in the lineup. Puck drop is set for 10:00 PM ET on ESPN+. Seattle has dropped its first two games post-break by a combined 9-2, and the tone has been the same both nights: too many chances

The Nashville Predators head to American Airlines Center to face the Dallas Stars on Saturday, February 28, 2026, with puck drop set for 8:00 PM ET on ESPN+. Dallas is 35-14-9 and sitting third in the West, and they looked like they never left during their first game back from the Olympic break. Nashville is 27-24-7, still in the mix in the Central, and they also started post-break play with a win, even if it wasn’t exactly clean. Dallas is on a seven-game winning streak and the recent form is more than just “they’re getting bounces.” Their top players are producing, their power play is dangerous, and they’re getting enough goaltending to let the offense win games without needing 40

The Ottawa Senators open a road trip with a visit to Scotiabank Arena to face the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday, February 28, 2026, with puck drop set for 7:00 PM ET on ESPN+. Both teams are looking for their first win since the Olympic break, and it feels like the kind of game where one bad ten-minute stretch can undo a decent night. Ottawa is 28-23-8 and sitting around the playoff bubble, while Toronto is 27-23-9 and trying to climb out of the same crowded tier of teams chasing the last spots. The Senators at least banked a point in their first game back, a 2-1 overtime loss at home to Detroit. Toronto comes in frustrated after a 5-1

The Edmonton Oilers wrap their California swing with a Saturday afternoon visit to the San Jose Sharks at SAP Center on February 28, 2026. Puck drop is set for 4:00 PM ET on NBCS. Edmonton is 29-23-8 and sitting second in the Pacific. San Jose is 27-25-4 and trying to stop a skid that’s started to feel longer than it should, especially with Macklin Celebrini turning into a nightly show. Edmonton’s offense has looked alive since the Olympic break, and the 8-1 win over the Kings is the kind of result that changes the way teams prepare for you. It wasn’t just one line. It was waves. The Oilers also have the “we can respond” feel right now after that
