There are four NHL games on Monday night, three of which are scheduled for early starts on the East Coast, followed by a nightcap game in Las Vegas. The NBA and NHL now dominate the sports world, as the NFL season has ended and the MLB season has yet to begin.

Interestingly, out of the eight teams playing tonight, only the New York Rangers, Philadelphia Flyers, and Vegas Golden Knights are holding playoff spots. Meanwhile, the five other teams are doing everything they can to earn two points to enhance their playoff chances while playing spoilers at the same time.

Even though it's Monday, a usually light day for the NHL, there are plenty of intriguing storylines to follow in tonight's four matchups, including who will get the start in goal for these crucial games.
