Which star player will define this series and why is it Sidney Crosby? Tampa Bay Lightning vs. Florida Panthers: Nikita Kucherov and Steven Stamkos are back for the Lightning.

Fresh off the Toronto Maple Leafs' loss to the Montreal Canadiens, we look back on the series, particularly how bad Mitch Marner was, how much the Leafs were in their own heads, the different ways the Johnn Tavares loss effected them and what changes Kyle Dubas needs to make going forward. Montreal is set to face the Winnipeg Jets now. With Winnipeg being a more similar fit to Montreal than Toronto, what can we expect from this game? Will Blake Wheeler be the key to cracking the Montreal code? Can Carey Price out duel Connor Hellebuyck? The Colorado Avalanche scored a touchdown on the Vegas Golden Knights? Was Robin Lehner over Marc-Andre Fleury the reason? With Ryan Reaves' suspension, was it enough? Does his style of play fit into this series? And just how good is Nathan MacKinnon? Many series do, but the Tampa Bay Lightning and Carolina Hurricanes might be the biggest special teams decided series of this years playoffs. The Boston Bruins ruined Ilya Sorokin in Game 1. Were the New York Islanders right to go with Semyon Varlamov in Game 2? Who should be in net moving forward? All this and more on episode 332 of the 4th Line Hockey Podcast!

The NHL playoffs are in the heart of the first round, covering: The Colorado Avalanche and their sweep of the St. Louis Blues. What went wrong with the Blues? Nazem Kadri got suspended 8 games for his hit on Justin Faulk. Was it an appropriate length? The Vegas Golden Knights have shut down Kirill Kaprizov. Will he overcome it before it is too late? Is this the end of Alexander Ovechkin with the Washington Capitals? Tristan Jarry has been letting down the Pittsburgh Penguins. Will he be the reason the New York Islanders advance? We wish John Tavares the best and are glad that his injuries aren't as bad as they first seemed. Was his injury handled appropriately by all involved? Are the Edmonton Oilers bad or the Winnipeg Jets good? The Florida Panthers continue to rotate the goalie carousel, this time with Spencer Knight in net. Will he be the cure that ails them? Is Carl back in love with Juuse Saros? Be sure to check out the PWHPA and the Secret Dream Gap Tour on Sportsnet! All this and more on episode 331 of the 4th Line Hockey Podcast!
