The NHL action will be on TV for over 12 hours on Thursday, with 13 games spanning from coast to coast with a handful of early afternoon starts, followed by the heart of the lineup in the evening and a couple of late contests in California to cap off an exciting day of hockey.

Of course, the highlight of Saturday's schedule is game one of the Stadium Series at MetLife Stadium between the Philadelphia Flyers and New Jersey Devils. Outside of that contest, there are plenty of other interesting storylines to follow, with many teams battling for playoff positioning.

So, with all that in mind, here's a rundown of today's potential NHL starters.
