It is the one night of the season when every team in the NHL is set to battle.

Tuesday night is once again being dubbed “Frozen Frenzy,” with 16 games on the league’s slate featuring plenty of exciting matchups.

The action begins at 6 p.m. ET with the Washington Capitals and Philadelphia Flyers, with games starting at separate times from then until 11 p.m. ET, when the Los Angeles Kings and Vegas Golden Knights duke it out in the final game of the night.

Down in the United States, ESPN will once again be hosting a unique whip-around broadcast, keeping tabs on every game going on. It is similar to NFL RedZone on Sundays, as highlights, goals and live look-ins will be featured throughout the night starting at 7 p.m. ET on ESPN2.

It is the second time the NHL has put on such a wild night. Last October, every team played on one night, with a similar schedule layout, earning much praise from fans with the overload of games.

On Tuesday’s edition of Daily Faceoff LIVE, Tyler Yaremchuk and Jonny Lazarus give their big games to watch on the crazy night.

Jonny Lazarus: I’m going [New Jersey] Devils/[Tampa Bay] Lighting at 6:45 p.m. [ET]. I’m going Seattle [Kraken] vs. Colorado [Avalanche] at 8:30 p.m. and then to finish it off I’m going Utah vs. Ottawa [Senators], my two favorite teams at 9:15 p.m.

Tyler Yaremchuk: I want to touch on Seattle/Colorado quickly…what stands out about that matchup?

Jonny Lazarus: Well, Seattle has won a sneaky three straight games, four out of their last five, and they have 15 goals in their last three games. This is a team that Colby [Cohen] and I, in our preseason preview, said they’re going to have trouble scoring goals…with the way that Colorado has been defending, you go to think it’s going to be a high-scoring game.

Tyler Yaremchuk: “For me, the early game I like is between Washington and Philly. (Matvei) Michkov versus (Alex) Ovechkin. First time they are facing off head-to-head. Washington’s off to a good start. Philly’s struggling a little bit here, but it’ll be cool to see Mitchkov and Ovi go toe-to-toe.

“I got the Bruins and the Predators at 8:45 ET. Like, Nashville’s gotta win eventually, right, Johnny? They can’t, go 0-6, that would be insane.”

Jonny Lazarus: “But is Boston the team they’re gonna do it against? I don’t think so. I like Boston in that game. I think Boston’s the underdog, too, somehow.

Tyler Yaremchuk: “Yeah, it is a weirdly priced game on the betting markets as well.

“And then the last one I have at 11:00 PM ET is the Kings and the Golden Knights. Both teams came into the year with tempered expectations compared to where they’re usually at. I think this is a good test for the LA Kings and a chance for them to kinda go like, ‘hey, everyone who was kind of writing us off, saying we’re gonna be the team that’s gonna fall out of the playoffs in the West or has the best chance of falling out of the playoffs in the West, this is a good chance for you to show that your little three, two-in-one start, although that’s 500, it’s not a fluke, and you belong with the big dogs in the Pacific.'”
