There were 10 NHL contests on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, so Tuesday is a lighter schedule with eight games.

Of course, a few teams are skating on the second night of a back-to-back, but everyone is getting closer to the NHL All-Star Game break, so clubs should be emptying the tanks now, with valuable points on the line.

As of this morning, only two NHL teams have confirmed their starters, so there could be shuffling before the games kick off at 5:00 pm. ET. There's the marquee matchup of the day, the Edmonton Oilers hosting the Toronto Maple Leafs, or the NHL Draft Lottery battle between the San Jose Sharks and Chicago Blackhawks.

So, there are plenty of engaging contests to pay attention to.
