Summary

Kyle Bukauskas and Elliotte Friedman open with Matthew Schaefer’s “flu game” and his growing impact on Long Island, then move through key injuries, surprise teams, and Darren Raddysh’s breakout season in Tampa. They touch on New Jersey’s continued fallout from missing out on Quinn Hughes, a strong Canadiens road trip led by Juraj Slafkovský, trade chatter around Kiefer Sherwood and Andrew Mangiapane, and Winnipeg’s ongoing slide. The episode wraps with Olympic officiating notes, a World Juniors Final Thought, and an interview with Mats Sundin after Auston Matthews broke the Leafs’ franchise goal record.
