About this episode

Steve Valiquette joins the hosts to discuss goalie performances and team dynamics in the NHL playoffs.

New York Rangers analyst and CEO of Clear Sight Analytics, Steve Valiquette (3:58), joins Nick Kypreos and Justin Bourne to chat about why his concerns for the Ottawa Senators — who are down 0-2 in their series with the Carolina Hurricanes — focus on Linus Ullmark's performance, why Frederik Andersen hasn't changed in his eyes, how the Canadiens are finding ways to get by Andrei Vasilevskiy, if Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen can outplay Jeremy Swayman, and Connor Hellebuyck airing out his grievances on the Jets' season. Then, Nick, Justin and Sam McKee touch on Sunny Mehta's introductory press conference as the new general manager for the New Jersey Devils and if Sheldon Keefe will stay on as their head coach.
