Episode Notes

Nathan MacKinnon has reached another milestone — but the MVP race might not be over yet.


In this episode we break down Nathan MacKinnon hitting the 50-goal mark for the second time in his career, and debate whether it’s MacKinnon vs the field in the Hart Trophy race.


We also take a hard look at the Los Angeles Kings jumping into a playoff spot — but are they actually built to win when it matters?


Plus, we dive into:


• Whether Cole Caufield or Connor McDavid can reach 50 goals

• Why the Kings’ underlying numbers raise major questions

• The San Jose Sharks staying alive in the playoff picture

• Macklin Celebrini’s huge four-point game

• Ranking young goalies preparing for their first NHL playoffs

• The latest from David Pagnotta’s Insider Notebook


With the playoff race tightening and awards races heating up, every result — and every performance — is starting to matter.
