Welcome to the DFO Rundown with Jason Gregor and Mike Rupp!

We start the show with breaking news out of Edmonton as they addressed their goaltending acquiring Tristan Jarry. The move was shocking as they gave up Stuart Skinner, a second, and Brett Kulak. Can Jarry solidify the Oilers crease?

The New Jersey Devils have slid down the Eastern Conference standings since the Jack Hughes injury. Jake Allen and Jacob Markstrom have had major issues in goal after Allen started hot this year. A discussion of if the Devils could win the Metro, has now turned into a discussion on if they can make the playoffs.

Sam Montembeault and Jakub Dobes have struggled behind a defensive unit that is still going through growing pains. Jacob Fowler looked spectacular in his NHL debut stopping 36 of 38 shots in a 4-2 win. Can Fowler take the reigns of the Canadiens' crease?

The Winnipeg Jets have struggled without Connor Hellebuyck and in the ultra-competitive Central Division, have the Jets slid out of the playoff picture in the West or can they claw back into a wildcard spot?

Logan Cooley will be out for at least eight weeks, and the Utah Mammoth might be at risk of missing the playoffs again after a soaring start. Is Andre Tourigny on the hot seat or will the Mammoth make a trade to shake up the room?

Bo Horvat had a scary fall in the Islanders game and early rumours say he'll only be out short-term. Will Horvat be in contention for a spot on Team Canada if healthy and can the Islanders keep rolling if their star forward is out long-term?

Injuries have plagued the Tampa Bay Lightning this season, but they're still atop the Atlantic Division. Brayden Point has had a down year so far in Tampa, but could a hot stretch be on the horizon for the Lightning center?

Brandon Bussi has been a great story for the Carolina Hurricanes as he is 10-1-0 in his 11 starts. Picked up off of waivers, Bussi proves the goaltending position's volatility and unpredictably. Will Bussi be the answer for the Hurricanes' postseason goalie struggles?

Connor McDavid was on a "slump" but over his last four games he's kicked it into high gear. The Art Ross race between McDavid and Nathan MacKinnon is now heating up. The line shake-up in Edmonton has sparked the Oilers captain's offensive fire.

Pat joins the show for another edition of Fill in the Blank:

• The next big name on the move is ____ or the next team to make a move is ____
• ____ will finish last in the NHL this season
• At +240 to make the playoffs the Skinner/Jarry trade ____ their chances

Mid-season goalie trades are not common, but how will the Skinner/Jarry trade play out for both teams? Gregor believes the Oilers are still in the market for another goalie before the deadline. Will Skinner resign in Pittsburgh for less than Jarry was making?

Welcome to the DFO Rundown with Jason Gregor and Mike Rupp!

Rupp and Gregor start the show off by talking about the competitive nature of the West and the parity of teams in the East.

The Florida Panthers are now 7 points out of the playoffs with a demoralizing loss to the Nashville Predators last night. Lots of key injuries but will the return of Matthew Tkachuk be enough if they end up 10+ points out of a playoff spot come January. Sergei Bobrovsky has struggled for the Panthers this season and in a contract year, what's the future like for the Russian goaltender?

Next, it's the Stanley Cup finalists in the West, Edmonton. A rough start to the year but a massive win over Seattle sees them pushing towards relevance in the Pacific Division race. The Kraken lack top talent, and the guys dissect Seattle's moves from the expansion draft to present day. Is there a team that needs a top-3 pick more than the Kraken?

Calgary and Nashville have started to drag themselves out of the basement and Vancouver now see themselves at the bottom of the NHL standings. Could the Canucks be the first piece to fall on the trade market and blow it all up?

Pat joins the show for Fill in the Blank with questions like:

Jesper Wallstedt needs to ____ to win the Calder

The Rocket Richard winner will have ____ goals

The ____ will be a surprise team to miss the playoffs in the Eastern Conference

Are Carolina and New Jersey in trouble with their current standing in the Metro?

Rupp and Gregor look into some of the top pests in the NHL. From Brad Marchand to Mason Marchment, who are some of the guys who excel in getting under the skin of their opponents?

Lastly, Rupp recounts some stories from his days in the NHL, some of the pests of his era, and some advice for young players looking to play the role of a pest.
