Daily Faceoff Maps Out The Week On The NHL Board

Daily Faceoff’s weekly schedule lays out the board, and in this league that means somebody is about to get tested. Coaches love to call it a routine stretch until the travel, the back-to-backs, and the standings start telling a different story. The calendar always looks innocent at first, but the NHL has a habit of turning one busy week into a reputation check. This slate matters because the teams that handle it cleanly usually keep themselves out of chaos later.
