Hockey Night In Canada coverage will start with three games starting at 7:00 p.m. ET. The best of those games is likely when the Toronto Maple Leafs visit the Vancouver Canucks. This affair will be shown on CBC. While the Leafs and Canucks are teams going in opposite directions, it’s usually entertaining when they square off. Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner lead Toronto while the Sedins and Bo Horvat lead Vancouver.

Also, the Winnipeg Jets travel to face the St. Louis Blues. This game will be broadcasted on Sportsnet. The two Central Division rivals will each be trying to better their playoff chances with a win. While the Blues have recovered after a brief hiccup, the Jets are trending downwards after a surprisingly strong start. They do, however, have Mark Scheifele and Patrik Laine.

The Ottawa Senators host the Florida Panthers for the last game that starts at 7:00 p.m. ET. This game will be shown on CITY and TVAS. It should be an interesting matchup because it will be one of the first NHL games coached by Tom Rowe. The Panthers recently fired Gerard Gallant and Rowe will be replacing him.

Saturday night will conclude with a 10:00 p.m. ET Pacific Division showdown when the Edmonton Oilers host the Anaheim Ducks. So far this season, the Ducks have done well against the Oilers, winning 4-1 in their previous meeting. This showdown will be televised on CBC and Sportsnet in Canada. Connor McDavid leads Edmonton while Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry lead Anaheim.
