Max Bultman, Shayna Goldman and Peter Baugh debate the chances for a goalie or a defenceman to win the NHL's MVP award, traditionally won by a forward with players like Connor Hellebuyck, Zach Werenski and Quinn Hughes having Hart Trophy calibre seasons for their clubs. They discuss X-factors for teams hunting for a playoff spot, with less than 20 games to go in the season. Plus, we welcome Ryan McDonagh of the Tampa Bay Lightning to discuss his thoughts on the Bolts chances this spring, if it's time that a defender or goalie wins the Hart, and his partnership with the new Body Check Cup..
