Each Monday throughout the 2024-25 NHL season, ESPN and NHL Network analyst Kevin Weekes will provide fans with a guide of games that will be nationally televised. Today, a look at games for the week of March 17.

It’s crunch time. The Calgary Flames continue to win, but so do the St. Louis Blues and Vancouver Canucks. We’ll be looking at those three teams, as well as the Utah Hockey Club, in this article.

On Monday night, the Utah Hockey Club hosted the Detroit Red Wings at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah. This was a pivotal battle for both teams as Utah entered play six points back of a Western Conference playoff spot and the Red Wings five points back in the Eastern Conference.

Each contest and standings point is crucial at this stage of the season with 14 games remaining on their schedule, so the Rangers cannot afford to look past any opponent. Especially since the Flames have a nearly identical record to the Rangers and are also fighting for a playoff spot, albeit in another conference.
