Rangers trying for fourth straight win vs. Devils, Penguins-Sabres highlight six-game schedule NHL.com @NHLdotcom
Welcome to the NHL On Tap. Three NHL.com writers will share what they are most looking forward to on the schedule each day. Today, their choices from the six games Sunday.
Canucks play first game since March 24
The Vancouver Canucks will play their first game since March 24 when they host the Toronto Maple Leafs (7 p.m. ET; SN, TVAS, NHL.TV).

The Chicago Blackhawks are in “Must-Win” mode.
Of course, I said that on Thursday and what happened? They did not win. They looked bad against a bad team. Luckily for them, the Nashville Predators also lost, so they did not lose ground in the Central Division playoff race as far as points go, but their opportunities are narrowing. Chicago has 12 games remaining this season with nine of them coming against teams that are in the top four playoff spots in the Central Division. Tonight they take on the Detroit Red Wings for the final time this season, and after the 4-1 embarrassment on Thursday, they MUST WIN tonight.
