Dougie Drama, Connor McDavid's Point Streak & Ovi Shooting For All the Goal Records

Welcome to the DFO Rundown with Jason Gregor and Jeff Marek!

We start the show with an update from Gregor on the double Gordie and if it has been done before.

New Jersey is having a very dysfunctional season, and the Dougie Hamilton saga could drag on with him having 2 years left at $9m AAV and a modified no-trade list.

The Rangers got a ten-spot from the Boston Bruins over the weekend in an embarrassing 10-2 loss. Will Artemi Panarin be moved out of the Big Apple?

The Buffalo Sabres are back to winning ways after their ten-game streak was snapped as they’re on a three-game heater now.

The Ottawa Senators have had some off-ice issues recently, but the on-ice issues might be of greater concern, as they search for answers. Can James Reimer help the goaltending in Ottawa?

Vancouver has Thatcher Demko back on IR, but is this good for the Canucks in their hunt for a top draft pick?

Is the hate around Gavin McKenna valid or is he still worthy of being number one overall?

The Anaheim Ducks had a great start, but the young defensive core has burst at the seams. Lukas Dostal has struggled since returning from injury and the pucks are filling the Ducks’ net.

Zack joins the show for an edition of Buy or Sell:

-       The Leafs will be in a playoff spot come the Olympic break

-       The current Hart Trophy winner is Macklin Celebrini

-       The Sabres will be playoff contenders and a buyer at the deadline

A star-studded list of NHL players have had 28-plus-game point streaks, can Connor McDavid become just the fourth active player to get a 20+ game point streak?

Connor McDavid is shooting a lot more and the points are piling up. Can Connor McDavid be any style of player?

The superstars in the NHL don’t get talked about enough, there’s a lot of “and buts” around the NHL with Nathan MacKinnon is great this year but he hasn’t won a Hart, Connor McDavid is great, but he’s never won the Cup. The NBA doesn’t have the same issue; how can the NHL change this?

Marek got to meet Red Berenson and talk about Glenn Hall, Michael Hage, TJ Hughes, and Brandon Naurato. Quinn Hutson leads the AHL in goals as a rookie.

The Nashville Predators are bucking some trends as they’ve moved up the standings to just trail the second wildcard spot. Winning while conceding the first goal, can the Preds make the playoffs?

Alexander Ovechkin got goal number 20 on the season. He’s second behind Gordie Howe for most 20-goal seasons trailing the legend by one season. Can Ovi chase 1000 goals?
