NHL in November • Superstar Injuries & Historic Duos • Episode 36

In Episode 36 of Invested in Hockey, we dive into the sixth week of the 2024-2025 NHL season, where injuries to major superstars like Connor McDavid, Auston Matthews, and possibly Norris Trophy frontrunner Cale Makar are shaking up the league. Eric and Anthony discuss how these injuries are impacting teams and fantasy leagues alike. Is Nathan Mackinnon the concensus #1 player in fantasy hockey going forward? Let us know your thoughts. We also take a close look at teams in need of a turnaround, like the Nashville Predators, who face a big challenge hosting Edmonton before embarking on a tough four-game West Coast road trip next week. Other teams like the Senators, Bruins, and Utah HC are also fighting to break out of their mediocre starts where players like Dylan Guenther, Jake Sanderson, and Matthew Poitras have lots to prove. Eric sparks a great debate about Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar after MacKinnon's incredible five-assist night yesterday. Are they on a path to become one of the greatest duos in NHL history, potentially rivaling Hall of Famers Steve Yzerman and Nicklas Lidstrom, who boast a combined seven Stanley Cups and Olympic gold medals? Anthony shares his thoughts on how this dynamic Avalanche duo ranks among the all-time greats, somewhere behind the legendary Wayne Gretzky and Paul Coffey stack. As always, we highlight key players on the rise, like Martin Necas, whose white-hot streak has boosted his Young Guns Rookie Card value to $25 CAD in the sports card world, having 12 points in his last 5 games. Come check us out under SportsCardsGTA this weekend the Toronto Sport Card Expo, where we’ll be setup at booth #5606.
