The Florida Panthers wrap up their four-game Western swing on Monday night against the Vegas Golden Knights — a rematch of the 2023 Stanley Cup Final and a meeting between the league’s last three champions. Both teams enter this matchup searching for stability. Florida (7-7-1) sits seventh in the Atlantic Division after losses to Anaheim and San Jose sandwiched around a 5-2 win at Los Angeles. Despite outshooting the Sharks 33–9 over the final two periods in Saturday’s 3-1 defeat, the Panthers failed to convert chances.

The Columbus Blue Jackets visit the Edmonton Oilers on Monday night at Rogers Place as both teams search for a spark amid early-season frustration. Edmonton (6-6-4) is reeling after a 9-1 loss to Colorado, the team’s third straight defeat and ninth in 13 games. The Oilers have been wildly inconsistent, alternating between bursts of elite offense and defensive collapses that have undermined their star talent.

The Rangers were blanked 5-0 by the rival Islanders on Saturday, extending their home scoring drought to 23-6 overall. Despite home struggles, the Rangers are 7-1-1 on the road, showing flashes of elite potential. Artemi Panarin and Mika Zibanejad continue to drive offensive generation, combining for

The New York Islanders visit the New Jersey Devils on Monday night at Prudential Center in Newark, where the Devils look to tie a franchise record with their eighth consecutive home victory to start the season. New Jersey (11-4-0) remains one of the league’s early-season benchmarks, sitting second in the Eastern Conference with 22 points. The Devils improved to 7-0-0 at home after Saturday’s 2-1 shootout win against Pittsburgh. Behind goaltender Jake Allen, who made 33 saves, the Devils have outscored opponents 25–13 at home while tightening defensively after a shaky 2024-25 campaign.
