Edmonton at Philadelphia (-165, 5.5)
On Sunday, the Oilers go for their fourth straight win in Philadelphia against the Flyers, who will be looking for their fifth consecutive victory after a six-game skid to start the season.
Edmonton (5-4-1) earned its first win since Oct. 18 by beating Carolina 3-1 on Saturday. Ethan Moreau, who had one goal this season coming in, scored twice in the final 88 seconds to snap a 1-1 tie.
"We got some really fortunate goals," Moreau said. "We just had the philosophy that if we kept doing things right, we'd be successful. This has been a process. We've lost a few games we've played well in and finally tonight we got a win."
Shawn Horcoff - who assisted on Moreau's second tally - also scored, and Dwayne Roloson made 27 of his 33 saves over the final 40 minutes. It was only the Oilers' second regular-season win in North Carolina since the Hurricanes moved there from Hartford a decade ago.
"We were here to win and get two points and get ourselves back on track," said Edmonton's Erik Cole after facing his former team for the first time.
Now, Edmonton will be looking to continue its winning streak in Philadelphia. After a 2-0 loss in 2000, the Oilers have outscored the Flyers 9-4 in their next three contests.
Toronto at Carolina (-157, 5.5)
The Toronto Maple Leafs and Carolina Hurricanes are headed in opposite directions offensively going into Sunday's game at the RBC Center, the first of a home-and-home series.
After scoring 11 goals in their first six games, the Maple Leafs (5-3-3) have found the net 20 times in their last five contests to post a 3-1-1 record.
The Hurricanes (5-3-2), meanwhile, remain atop the Southeast Division despite losing three of five following a 3-1-1 start. Carolina has scored only four goals in its past three games and 10 in its last five.
Carolina, which played at home for the first time since Oct. 13, is 1-2-0 there this season.
The Hurricanes took three of the four games last season with the Maple Leafs, and Carolina has also won the last two home games against Toronto, both in overtime. Rod Brind'Amour got the game-winning goal in the last meeting, a 3-2 victory on Jan. 31.
Florida at Atlanta (-111, 5.5)
When these Southeast Division foes meet Sunday in Atlanta, both desperately need points following Saturday night losses.
Atlanta dropped its sixth in a row - 6-1 to a New Jersey Devils club that had lost three consecutive games, while Florida lost its third straight with a 3-2 shootout loss at Nashville.
Since their 3-2 shootout win against Buffalo on Oct. 18, the Thrashers are 0-5-1 and have been outscored 29-12.
"We're a fragile team right now," Atlanta coach John Anderson said. "It's really tough right now."
The Thrashers (2-7-2) avoided their third shutout on Saturday - and second in the past three games - as Slava Kozlov scored his fifth goal of the season with 13:30 left against backup Kevin Weekes, who was making his first appearance of the season for an injured Martin Brodeur.
San Jose at Colorado (116, 5.5)
San Jose is proving that its strong start is not a fluke, beating last season's Stanley Cup finalists the past two games. A week ago, perhaps the Colorado Avalanche were in better position to give the Sharks another tough test.
The Sharks, off to their best start in franchise history, look to hand the once-surging Avalanche their third straight loss when the teams meet Sunday night.
San Jose (9-2-0) has won three straight and its 18 points lead the Western Conference. The past two games have been particularly satisfying for the Sharks.
San Jose beat defending Stanley Cup champion Detroit 4-2 on Thursday night, two days after setting a franchise record by holding runner-up Pittsburgh to 11 shots in a 2-1 victory.
"We have the respect around the league as a good team," Sharks winger Ryane Clowe said. "We're showing this year that we're ready to take the next step."
Now, San Jose will face a Colorado team that has had its confidence shaken, losing two straight after a five-game winning streak.
The Avalanche (5-5-0) have been held to two goals during their skid. After games on Oct. 23, they were leading the league with 28 goals.
Calgary at Anaheim (-157, 5.5)
The Calgary Flames put their six-game winning streak on the line Sunday when they try for a rare road win against the Anaheim Ducks.
Calgary hasn't won at Anaheim's Honda Center since the 2006 playoffs and has lost seven straight regular-season games there.
The Flames (7-3-1), though, enter as one of the NHL's hottest teams, although they blew a two-goal lead Saturday against the Los Angeles Kings.
Los Angeles' Oscar Moller scored a tying goal with less than six minutes remaining, but the Flames' Daymond Langkow responded at the 16:23 mark with the game-winner in a 3-2 victory.
Calgary has won six straight for the first time since Nov. 7-17, 2006. It hasn't won seven in a row since a run of eight consecutive victories from Nov. 1-16, 2005.
The Flames have played stingy defense during their win streak, giving up nine goals compared with 22 goals surrendered during their 1-3-1 start.
Detroit at Vancouver (121, 5.5)
Detroit is in danger of its first three-game slide since losing four in a row Feb. 22-29. Vancouver (6-5-0) has already beaten the Red Wings once this season - a 4-3 overtime victory at Joe Louis Arena on Oct. 16.
The Canucks begin November on an offensive surge. They've scored 17 goals in their last three wins, including a 7-6 victory at Anaheim following a 13-round shootout in which Mattias Ohlund scored the deciding goal to end the marathon tiebreaker.
"We've got to look at the tape obviously tomorrow because there are a few things defensively that we need to do a lot better job at," Ohlund, who also scored during a four-goal second period, told the Canucks' official Web site. "But I mean it's two points and that's huge in the standings at the moment."
Vancouver is opening a season-high six-game homestand after playing eight of its first 11 games on the road. The Canucks have won two of three at General Motors Place, but suffered a 1-0 loss to Boston there on Tuesday.
Roberto Luongo has compiled a 1.34 goals-against average while starting all three home games for the Canucks. He made 31 saves and turned aside 12 of 13 shootout attempts in his 500th NHL game on Friday, and is 6-3-1 with a 2.18 goals-against average in his last 10 starts versus Detroit.
