Hope NHL players enjoyed their holidays because there won't be much time to settle back into the season grind.
The league returns from its Christmas break Wednesday with a heavy helping of marquee matchups in two of its most hotly contested divisions. First in the Metro, when the Penguins and Blue Jackets (7 p.m. ET) meet again after last week's entertaining shootout, which Pittsburgh won, and the Capitals visit Madison Square Garden to face the Rangers (8 p.m. ET).
