Hello guys! Welcome back to another episode of the Hockey Talk with TG Podcast.

In this episode, we break down Alex Ovechkin’s historic 4-point night as he scored a hat trick in the Washington Capitals’ 8-4 win over the Montreal Canadiens. At 40 years old, Ovechkin ties Brett Hull for 4th in NHL history with his 33rd career hat trick and now has 907 career goals and 1,643 points, passing Joe Sakic for 10th on the NHL’s all-time points list. We also analyze the Capitals’ hot streak, including Ethan Frank and Sonny Milano’s standout performances, and what this means for the team’s playoff push.

Next, we dive into the Chicago Blackhawks’ heartbreaking loss to the Seattle Kraken in controversial fashion. Connor Bedard was on a partial breakaway in the 3rd period, slashed by Kraken defenseman Ryan Lindgren with no penalty called. Seconds later, Bedard was assessed an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, leading to Jaden Schwartz’s game-winning power play goal. We break down why the Blackhawks were robbed of victory, why this play is controversial, and the impact on both teams’ standings.

We also cover the latest NHL jersey news, including the Blackhawks’ return of their iconic third alternate black jerseys for select games this season, as part of their 100-year celebration. Plus, we take a look at the Florida Panthers and New York Rangers 2026 Winter Classic jerseys, featuring bold retro designs and historic nods that fans won’t want to miss.

Speaking of which, I wrote an article on Blackhawk Up talking about the jerseys. Did an in-depth analysis on it. Make sure to check it out: https://blackhawkup.com/chicago-blackhawks-release-black-alternate-jerseys
