First Round Projections with Shayna Goldman

The Athletic's Shayna Goldman joins Justin Bourne and Sam McKee to help break down the playoff picture with the regular season coming to a close (6:15). They discuss the Montreal Canadiens' surprising season, why the Lightning are poised for a deep run, how the Oilers match up against the Kings in a likely postseason rematch and the balance in other potential First Round matchups. Later, Senators writer Alex Adams (29:33) looks closer at a possible Battle of Ontario series in Round 1, Dylan Cozens' impact since the deadline, why David Perron is a playoff x-factor, the levels of trust in Linus Ullmark and why Travis Green deserves more love in the Jack Adams conversation.The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.
