With less than three weeks to go until the NHL playoffs, several bubble teams are hitting the panic button. Nick Zararis and Hunter Hodies break down the massive struggles of three teams currently fighting for their playoff lives. First, they dive into the Vegas Golden Knights, who are just 3-7 in their last 10 games. Despite adding major pieces, the Golden Knights have only scored 5 goals in their last 5 games, and goaltender Adin Hill is struggling massively with a .868 save percentage Next, the guys pivot to the Detroit Red Wings, who have fallen out of a playoff spot after a rough 3-5-2 stretch. Even with Dylan Larkin and Andrew Copp back in the lineup, can they survive a brutal upcoming schedule? Finally, they look at Patrick Roy's New York Islanders. Despite a Calder-caliber season from Matthew Schaefer and Vezina-level goaltending from Ilya Sorokin, the Islanders are giving up tons of high-danger chances, and their deadline additions are getting heavily outscored. 1:20 Vegas Struggles 9:00 Anderson's Game & Red Wings 13:06 Red Wings' Top-Heavy Offense 14:23 Playoff Push Amid Adversity 21:13 Islanders' Defense-First Formula 24:21 Islanders' Surprising Playoff Push 27:42 Chaotic Playoff Race Ahead Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
