Artemi Panarin will make his second appearance in New York since being traded when the Los Angeles Kings visit the Rangers on Monday. Panarin, who recorded an assist and two shots in a prior 4-1 Kings victory, amassed 205 goals and 402 assists across 482 regular-season games with the Rangers.
The NHL's Monday schedule features three interconference matchups, with each pairing meeting only twice during the 2026-27 season. In other action, the Leafs face the Flames, and the Red Wings visit the Oilers.
Devin Cooley has backstopped the Flames' past three victories. The Flames have won four of five overall, including narrow defeats of the Hurricanes and Wild. The Leafs enter following a 7-2 triumph over Edmonton in which William Nylander scored twice.
Edmonton seeks its first home win since losing to Toronto on Saturday. Connor McDavid leads the Oilers with 33 points, 10 ahead of Draisaitl. DeBrincat paces the Wings with 12 points, tied for 29th league-wide. The Wings and Oilers split their 2025-26 season series, with the home team prevailing each time.
Dylan Garand told Wyshynski: "It's obviously been crazy. But it's been a lot of fun."
