<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Monday, Nov. 11</h2>



<p>San Jose is coming off a huge win over the Devils in New Jersey on Sunday night, but it’s a short turnaround before Monday’s clash with the Flyers in Philadelphia. Every other team on the schedule has sufficient rest heading into their respective matchups.</p>

<p>Calgary will be playing the second half of a back-to-back, and the Devils and Blue Jackets will each be playing their third game in four days. Seattle will be very rested for its home game with Columbus, having last played on Friday. </p><div class="injected-ad injected-video" data-nn-ad-tech-injection-count="0" data-nn-ad-tech-max-gap="130" data-nn-ad-tech-current-gap="140"></div>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Wednesday, Nov. 13</h2>



<p>The Maple Leafs have a very difficult matchup against the Capitals after playing Tuesday at home against their provincial rivals. Washington has been the biggest surprise team to this point and will have a signficant rest advantage in this spot against Toronto.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Thursday, Nov. 14</h2>



<p>A very busy night on the ice, and every team will have adequate rest, making for a relatively even playing field. Tampa hasn’t played since last Friday, but such a long layoff could actually work against the Lightning in their matchup with the red-hot Capitals. Thursday will mark the start of a tough stretch for the Predators, who will play three games in four nights across Western Canada.</p>

Nashville will be playing its third game in four days.</p>
