Pastrňák Gets Benched + SOS for the Sabres

Matt Marchese and Mike Futa begin The FAN Hockey Show by revisiting the weekend's biggest story. They discussed David Pastrňák’s benching for the third period, the case for contract discussions for the Florida Panthers, and how the Toronto Maple Leafs can rebound from a difficult weekend (39:59). Next, the boys discuss tonight's game between the New Jersey Devils and the Edmonton Oilers, and if Leon Draisaitl has stepped up in Connor McDavid's absence. Later, Kyle Bukauskas (49:45) from 32 Thoughts the Podcast joins the guys to discuss David Pastrňák benching, whether he is expected to rebound against the Leafs on Tuesday night, and whether the Leafs can find their groove before then. Finally, Lance Lysowski (1:20:08) of The Buffalo News joins the show to discuss the disappointing start to the Buffalo Sabres.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 affiliate.
