The Ottawa Senators silenced their critics in the first two games of the season and look to continue that trend when they visit the Atlantic Division-rival Boston Bruins on Monday afternoon.

The San Jose Sharks quickly put a season-opening loss behind them with a victory over a rival and look to start a five-game road trip with back-to-back triumphs when they visit the New York Islanders on Monday afternoon.

After finishing an amazing inaugural season with a trip to the Stanley Cup Final, the Vegas Golden Knights began their sophomore campaign with a setback. They bounced back by kicking off a five-game road trip with a shootout win in Minnesota and look to maintain the momentum when they visit the Buffalo Sabres on Monday afternoon.
