Summary

Jeff kicks off the show with Rangers reporter Vince Mercogliano!

Then, Steve Mayer, Chief Content Officer at the NHL, breaks down how the league goes about putting together the NHL Skills Competition and what we can expect from the events this year (18:52). Later on, Brien Rea of Bally Sports highlights the importance of finishing first in the Central Division, Wyatt Johnson’s development, the Stars' scoring by committee model, and Matt Duchene’s fit with Dallas (45:17).
