NHL action on TNT is coming a day earlier this week, as the network is set to broadcast a Tuesday night doubleheader.
Up first on TNT is a matchup of star power, as Connor McDavid and the Oilers travel down to Florida to take on Nikita Kucherov and the Tampa Bay Lightning. After the Oilers-Lightning game will be a Western Conference contest between the Predators and the Kraken in Seattle.
The Oilers are 7-6-0 on the season, thanks in part to a five-game winning streak to close out October and begin November. Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl continue to play on easy mode, as the pair are Nos. 1 and 2 in the league in points with 27 and 25, respectively. They come into the matchup against the Lightning having lost the last three times out.
Tampa Bay's slow start to the year is in the rearview. After a 1-3-0 start, the team has won six out of their last eight games and secured a point in one of the losses as well. Kucherov is fresh off a four-point night on Saturday, pushing his points total to 20 on the season.
The Predators haven't had the best start to the season, coming into the game against the Kraken with a record of 5-6-1. The team is coming off back-to-back victories, winning two games in a row for the first time this season since the first two games. Filip Forsberg is first on the team in points with 12.
Meanwhile, the Kraken enter Tuesday with a record of 7-4-2 and are riding a four-game winning streak and have won five out of their last six games. Andre Burakovsky and Jaden Schwartz are tied for the team lead in points with 10 each, while rookie Matty Beniers has recorded nine.
