The action starts at 12:30 p.m. ET when the best team in the Eastern Conference, the New York Rangers, host the Washington Capitals in a game that will be seen in the United States on NBC and in Canada on the NHL Network and RDSI. The Rangers increased their conference-leading total to 75 points by winning 5-2 in Philadelphia on Saturday. The Caps have been off since Thursday, when they blew a late two-goal lead to Winnipeg and lost 3-2 in a shootout.
 
Seven hours later, the League-leading Detroit Red Wings will try to match the NHL record for consecutive home wins when they host Philadelphia. The 1975-76 Flyers are one of two teams that hold the mark with 20 in a row at home. The Wings stretched their streak to 19 on Friday by beating Anaheim 2-1 in a shootout.
