The Vegas Golden Knights lost Shea Theodore to an injury at the Four Nations Tournament, so what happens next? Will this injury give VGK a chance to add a player at the NHL Trade Deadline?

Chris Gawlik of Locked On Vegas Golden Knights joins us to discuss the impact of the injury and what to expect from this team at the deadline.

Jake Guentzel of the Tampa Bay Lightning has been playing well at the Four Nations Tournament. We break down his performance and what it means for the team going forward.

Josh Sperber of Locked On Lightning joins us to discuss what to expect from the Bolts at the NHL Trade Deadline as Tampa Bay is not far from fighting for first place in the Atlantic but not far ahead of the wild card teams either. 

The Seattle Kraken are unlikely to make the playoffs this season but there is reason for hope. Captain Jordan Eberle has started a rehab stint in the AHL while Shane Wright continues to show improvement with each passing game.

Erica L. Ayala of Locked On Kraken joins us to discuss the latest on the team and what to expect them to do at the NHL Trade Deadline.
