Matt Marchese joins Mike Futa dressed to the nines to begin this week on The FAN Hockey Show. The pair look back on the NHL's return to action and dive into the biggest storylines from the weekend alongside Thomas Hickey, former NHL defenceman turned analyst for Amazon Prime and MSG Network. Thomas discuses the challenge for players to refocus following the 4 Nations Face-Off break, the Winnipeg Jets' impressive season to date, and Macklin Celebrini's stop-and-start ability. Next up, former NHL forward and current TNT analyst, Anson Carter reflects on the best-on-best action we've been treated to and the biggest stories from the event, before getting into Alex Ovechkin's hat-trick to close in on Wayne Gretzky's goal record and the keys to his longevity (30:30). Matt and Mike wrap up today's show with another edition of 'The Futa Five' (49:58)!
