All 32 NHL teams will be active on NHL’s Super Saturday before playoffs

The fact that all 32 NHL teams are playing on the same day is a testament to the league's growth and expansion.

Over the years, the NHL has added new teams to the league, which has increased the number of games played on any given day. In the past, it was not uncommon to have only a few games on a single day, but now, with 32 teams in the league, there's a higher likelihood of all teams playing on the same day.

The fun will begin at 12:30 EST when the Buffalo Sabres fight for their playoff live against the Carolina Hurricanes and go until 10:30 when the Los Angeles Kings host the Colorado Avalanche.

For hockey fans, this is an exciting day, as they will have the opportunity to watch their favorite teams compete, and there will be a lot of action happening across the league. With 16 games being played, there will be plenty of goals, saves and hits to keep fans entertained throughout the day.

For the teams themselves, playing on a day where all 32 teams are active could be both a blessing and a curse. It provides an opportunity for teams to gain ground in the standings, as they can move up the rankings with a win. However, it can be challenging for teams to stay focused, as 31 other teams will also be in action.

To be successful on a day where all 32 teams are playing, teams will need to have strong focus and discipline. They will need to come into their game prepared, with a solid plan and a commitment to executing that.

The fact that all 32 teams are playing on the same day is a testament to the strength of the league and passion of fans. Its a rare occurrence, but when it does happen, it's a day that's sure to be filled with excitement, drama and plenty of great hockey.
