The NHL is back in full swing after the All-Star Game weekend. Tonight, there are only three games, but two of the contests feature teams battling for favorable playoff spots, while the third game is between teams who have underperformed this season.

During the evening's first games, the Dallas Stars visit the Toronto Maple Leafs while the Tampa Bay Lightning are skating on Broadway against the New York Rangers. Meanwhile, about 30 minutes after the first game ends, the Minnesota Wild will be in Chicago to face the Blackhawks.

Thankfully, there are no late games this evening, which allows fans to ease back into full-time hockey watching. Only one team has confirmed their starter, so fans and fantasy owners should keep checking in to see who gets the call ahead of the puck drop.
