The Vancouver Canucks head to Buffalo to face the Sabres at KeyBank Center on Tuesday, January 6, 2026, with puck drop set for 7:00 PM ET on ESPN+. Buffalo is back home looking to respond after a 10-game heater finally got snapped, while Vancouver shows up in a bad spot, last in the Pacific and trying to survive a long road swing without key pieces. Buffalo is 21-15-4 overall and has been legitimately strong in its building (12-5-2). Vancouver sits at 16-20-5 and has been one of those teams where the effort is there some nights, then the whole thing falls apart for a period and you are cooked. This is also the second and final meeting of the season,

The Dallas Stars head to Raleigh to face the Carolina Hurricanes at Lenovo Center on Tuesday, January 6, 2026 (7:00 p.m. ET on ESPN+). On paper, it’s a matchup of two teams that still profile like contenders. In the market, it’s a short price on the home side and a pretty normal total for two clubs that can both score.

Colorado heads to Tampa on Tuesday, January 6 at 7:00 PM ET from Benchmark International Arena, and it feels like one of those midseason games where the market actually has to make a tough decision. The Avalanche are 31-3-7 and sitting on top of the Central, but they’re coming off a rare 2-1 regulation loss to Florida and they’re doing it while absorbing real injury losses. Tampa Bay is 25-13-3 and rolling into this matchup on a seven-game win streak. The Lightning have been scoring, they’ve been closing, and they’ve looked comfortable winning games multiple ways even with key blue line pieces out. This one streams on ESPN+ and it’s basically an “elite vs elite” spot with a little chaos

The New Jersey Devils visit the New York Islanders on Tuesday, January 6, 2026, with puck drop set for 7:30 PM ET at UBS Arena in Elmont. You can watch on ESPN+. New Jersey is 22-18-2 and still looking for a clean stretch of hockey, while the Islanders are 23-15-4 and holding down second in the Metro, which still feels a little surprising this deep into the year. The storyline is pretty simple for bettors: Ilya Sorokin is back for New York after missing time, and the Islanders might be without rookie defenseman Matthew Schaefer due to illness. New Jersey is also coming off a game where the power play completely disappeared. Put it together and you get a game
