Fluto Shinzawa of the Athletic Boston joins Scott to discuss the surprising news that Tuukka Rask has opted out of the NHL playoffs, and the gutsy performance from Jaroslav Halak in game 3 of their round vs the Carolina Hurricanes. Boston looks to take a stranglehold over the Canes in game 4 tonight.

The guys also discuss  how the Islanders have put the Capitals on the brink after a 2-1 OT win.

We head off too Edmonton to discuss the Western bubble with The Athletic's Thomas Drance. Drancer recaps the thrilling overtime win by the Cup Champs, and the Ryan O'Reilly factor, which gets St. Louis back in their series with Vancouver.  

Plus  Thomas and Scott also discuss the Dallas Stars/Calgary Flames series, a series that is tied after 4 games, that easily could be a 3-1 series lead for the Flames.
