NHL Weekend Preview: Exciting December 2nd Matchups and Key Insights

NHL Saturday Breakdown (December 2nd, 2023)

With thirteen games on the slate for Saturday, and coverage that starts before Noon Eastern and wraps up just after Midnight, it’s a packed day of action in the National Hockey League as we break down a few of the key matchups in this NHL Weekend Preview.

The first of a home-and-home series that concludes on Monday in Tampa, the Dallas Stars off of a bad 4-2 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins where they had a 2-0 lead after the first period, and the Pens rallied off four unanswered goals, capped by an empty-net goal from goaltender Tristan Jarry. The Stars are off a 4-3 overtime loss to Calgary on Thursday.

The Rangers forward Artemi Panarin has 12 goals and 31 points on the season. Nashville is 17-3 to the First Period Over in their last 20 contests.

This Original Six and Atlantic Division rivalry gets renewed yet again in Toronto, where the Maple Leafs have won five of their last six Boston.

Two Central Division foes collide in Glendale as the surging Coyotes, fresh off a 4-3 overtime win over Colorado on Thursday night, take on the Arizona.

Wrapping up the NHL Weekend Preview: Two hated Pacific Division rivals wrap up Saturday night’s action as the Canucks will skate with new defenseman Nikita Zadorov, who just left this Vancouver club that has alternated wins and losses over their last six games but still lead the National Hockey League in total goals with 92.
