Former NHL goaltender Devan Dubnyk is back on the Monday edition of The Hockey News Big Show.
Here’s what former Dubnyk, Ryan Kennedy and Michael Traikos discussed in this episode:
0:41: What will be key for the New Jersey Devils to continue like this as the season goes on?
3:34: What do you make of how the Devils are built, and can they sustain this style win in the playoffs?
6:50: So much for the sophomore slump: Macklin Celebrini is third in NHL scoring after finishing with 63 points last year. Will he have a better sophomore season than McDavid (100 points) or Crosby (120 points)?
11:26: The Minnesota Wild have lost six of their last seven games. Can they turn it around?
14:16: Are we starting to see signs that Minnesota is too top-heavy and doesn't have enough depth?
17:23: In the upcoming off-season, Laine will be a UFA. Will Montreal want to bring him back? If not, which other team would want him?
22:11: What was it like for Dubnyk to face Laine?
24:21: Could the return of Joseph Woll be the spark the Maple Leafs are looking for?
26:25: Should Anthony Stolarz and Woll still be in a 1A, 1B tandem situation for the Leafs?
29:11: How important is it to a goalie's confidence level to have a strong first outing? Is there an advantage to teams being unfamiliar with a new netminder?
33:44: Sam Montembeault has an .842 save percentage after five games. How can the team help a goalie rebound from a slump? How can Montembeault help himself?
36:20: Is it a good idea to play a struggling goaltender against a non-playoff team to rebuild confidence?
38:06: Evgeni Malkin: over/under 70 points? He's currently at 14 in nine games.
39:33: Yay or nay: Linus Ullmark skates across the ice to join a scrum in the Senators and Capitals game
43:50: Who would be your two goalies for Canada's Olympic men's team right now?
46:42: The Raptors, Leafs, Argos and TFC have all changed their logos to support the Jays in the World Series. Is it a bad thing if teams don't root for the other teams in their market?
