There are six games on tap in the NHL on Monday night. Jaroslav Halak will make his first start back from injury against the Los Angeles Kings, while Luke Schenn and James van Riemsdyk face their former teams for the first time.

There are six games scheduled in the NHL on Monday night, which is headlined by the contest between the Philadelphia Flyers and Toronto Maple Leafs at Air Canada Centre.

This meeting will mark the first time that defenseman Luke Schenn will play in Toronto since being traded to the Flyers this past offseason for forward James van Riemsdyk. Conversely, this will be van Riemsdyk's first meeting with his former team, as well.
