Connor McDavid and Jack Eichel have been linked together since the forwards were selected first and second, respectively, in the 2015 NHL Draft. McDavid, who won his third straight Fastest Skater competition at the expense of Eichel in January, will look to best his rival again on Monday when the Edmonton Oilers conclude their five-game road trip against the Buffalo Sabres.

The Toronto Maple Leafs gave John Tavares a proper homecoming in their last contest, with the latter returning the favor by helping the team to its fourth win in five outings. The Maple Leafs hope that type of success travels well as they begin a tour of Western Canada on Monday against the Calgary Flames, who are looking to rebound after seeing their seven-game winning streak halted in their last outing.
