Tricks and treats await with a playoff rematch highlighting a light schedule.
The frenetic NHL season doesn't slow down, even for Halloween. Four games are on tap on Friday, early enough for the hockey to get done with in time for whatever holiday plans you have.
The biggest matchup of the night is probably Anaheim-Dallas at 8:30 p.m. E.T. It's the first time the two clubs have met since a boisterous first-round playoff series last spring. Considering the Stars went after Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry relentlessly for six games, we expect there will be no love lost between the two rivals.
Elsewhere, the Los Angeles Kings will try to reverse fortunes against the Detroit Red Wings at 7:30 p.m. ET in the Motor City. Detroit has beaten the defending champions in six of their last eight contests, though it remains to be seen whether the Wings have an answer for Los Angeles' dominant "That 70's Line".
