The NHL has a busy schedule on Thursday night with 11 games featuring teams from coast to coast in what should be another exciting day of hockey.

After a relatively quiet Wednesday with only two NHL contests, 22 teams are skating tonight, with the Edmonton Oilers looking for the 11th consecutive win. Meanwhile, several other teams, like the New York Rangers and Boston Bruins, look to continue collecting wins.

Although it is early in the day, no NHL teams have confirmed any of their starters yet, which means fantasy managers will continue to search the latest headlines to see which netminders are getting the call this evening.
