NHL Tonight: What to watch in Kings-Rangers, Leafs-Flames, Wings-Oilers

Monday's NHL slate features three interconference matchups: Los Angeles Kings at New York Rangers, Toronto Maple Leafs at Calgary Flames, and Detroit Red Wings at Edmonton Oilers. The Kings-Rangers matchup marks Artemi Panarin's second return to Madison Square Garden since his trade to Los Angeles, following a 12-year career segment with New York where he scored 607 total points.

In Western Canada, the Flames enter their contest having won four of their past five games behind goaltender Devin Cooley, while Toronto arrives after a 7-2 win over Edmonton. The Oilers aim to bounce back against Detroit, with Connor McDavid leading NHL scoring with 33 points, followed by teammate Leon Draisaitl.
