Mike Zeisberger joins; Ovi & Matthews comparison, Lightning lull, Kings/Knights race, Power's debut

from NHL @TheRink · host National Hockey League

Dan and Shawn are joined by NHL.com's Toronto-based staff writer Mike Zeisberger, who talks about the pressure on Auston Matthews and the Maple Leafs to finally breakthrough in the playoffs (4:00). He also provides some thoughts on some of the comparisons that are being made with Auston Matthews to some of the League's great players (Ovechkin, Lemieux, Lindros). The conversations shifted to the Tampa Bay Lightning and the question of if we're starting to see the end of their reign of dominance (21:00). The guys broke down the Western Conference playoff race, with all three questioning if the Los Angeles Kings have what it takes to fend off the Vegas Golden Knights and clinch a playoff spot (32:00). Rosen asked if a team would prefer to play the Colorado Avalanche or the Calgary Flames in the first round and Zeisberger discussed what he saw from covering Owen Power in the rookie defenseman's NHL debut with the Buffalo Sabres (55:00).
