Hockey-mad Canadians will celebrate their true love on Saturday, February 14 as one of the year's most anticipated televised events returns, "Hockey Day in Canada".

It all begins at 2 pm ET with the Edmonton Oilers in Ottawa to take on the Senators. That is followed at 7 pm ET when one of the longest running Original Six rivalries is renewed as the Montreal Canadiens play host to the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Winnipeg Jets are in Detroit to face the Red Wings. The day concludes with the Calgary Flames hosting the Vancouver Canucks at 10 pm ET.
