The NHL will play nine games on Thursday night, one of the last busy nights on the calendar before everyone begins their break for the upcoming All-Star Game on Feb. 3.

As expected, there are some intriguing matchups to follow, with many playoff-bound teams like the Philadelphia Flyers and Detroit Red Wings looking for an additional two points to help their positioning.

Meanwhile, the Edmonton Oilers are looking for another win to inch closer to the NHL record for most consecutive wins held by the Pittsburgh Penguins at 17.

Several NHL teams have confirmed their starters for the evening, with a handful still undecided.
