Locked On NHL - Daily Podcast On The National Hockey League

The Philadelphia Flyers are back in a playoff spot in maybe the most important win in the last decade for this franchise. A wild loss for Detroit at home. The Rangers dominate a Capitals team who had the red carpet rolled out for them to get back into the Eastern Conference wildcard race. The Senators play one of their best games of the season versus Carolina. Montreal loses, but still clinches a playoff spot. The Penguins are fast closing in on a playoff spot. The Blues stop the Avalanche from clinching the Central.

The New York Islanders fired head coach Patrick Roy on Sunday and replaced him with veteran Peter DeBoer in a last ditch attempt to make the playoffs.

JD Young asks Gil Martin what this means for the Islanders short term and long term and why Roy was let go with just four games left in the regular season. 

The Winnipeg Jets were left for dead at the Olympic break but have finished the season strong and are now battling for one of the final playoff spots in the West.

Harrison Lee of Locked On Winnipeg Jets joins us to discuss what's behind the late season surge and what it will take for the Jets to get into the playoffs.

The Columbus Blue Jackets were the hottest team in the league a month ago but have since stumbled and hit a wall as they battle for one of the final playoff spots in the Eastern Conference.

Jay Forster of Locked On Blue Jackets joins us to break down why the team is slumping and what it will take to turn things around before it's too late. 

All this and more on today's Locked On NHL Podcast with Gil Martin.

On today’s Locked On NHL, Nick Zararis and Hunter Hodies dive into a chaotic week in hockey. We break down the "bananas" race for the final Western Conference playoff spot, where the Sharks, Kings, and Predators are battling in a "turtle race" toward an 85-point finish. Does Macklin Celebrini have enough "dog in him" to drag San Jose into the postseason? 

Next, we examine the fallout in Toronto. After two and a half seasons, Brad Treliving is out—is this the worst GM tenure in recent memory? We look at the roster nightmare facing the next GM, from the core four to a defense aging out of contention. Finally, we celebrate Alex Ovechkin hitting 30 goals for the 20th time. Is he officially the greatest goal scorer of all time?

Macklin Celebrini's brilliance on full display in San Jose's comeback win over Anaheim. The Kings outlast the Blues in overtime. Best meets worst by basically every metric... and of course the worst team in hockey scored eight times on the road.
