Lewis and Ryan are back in action with news items so red-hot you'd think they were the goal light behind Jacob Markstrom. The guys start in Long Island, where Duclair joined the seven other 2026 Hatty Havers, and Ilya Sorokin stopped 44 shots in a demoralizing blowout for Hughes, Bratt, and the rest of the ice-cold Devils. Then it's on to Justin Sourdif's 5 point night and discuss if he should be considered reliable outside an off-night week, before looking at how injuries to Shesterkin and Fox likely spell more trouble for the Rangers. Injury notes are rounded out with returns from Zucker and Jarvis, plus Malkin, Nylander, Chytil and others trending towards recovery. Hot and cold streaks cover Knies, Maccelli, and McMann in Toronto, as well as Goncalves in Tampa, and permission to say bye-rou to Kyrou. REPLACEMENT MANAGERS WANTED!
