Fantasy Hockey's BIGGEST Contenders & Pretenders REVEALED | Are the Canadiens Stanley Cup Threats?

Montreal Canadiens lead the Atlantic Division with 18 points, but are they legitimate Stanley Cup contenders or early-season pretenders? The Colorado Avalanche dominate the NHL standings despite preseason doubters, while Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers navigate questions about their championship window. Flip Livingstone and Steele Rodin break down every NHL team's playoff credentials one month into the season, separating genuine contenders from teams riding unsustainable hot streaks. The analysis covers the New Jersey Devils' three-headed attack featuring Jack Hughes and Nico Hischer, Ottawa's league-worst defensive struggles despite offensive firepower, and whether Utah's strong October translates to postseason viability. The episode concludes with betting picks for Monday's four-game slate, including Connor Bedard props against Seattle and Sidney Crosby's historic success versus Toronto. Discover which teams deserve your fantasy roster attention and which playoff hopes are built on shaky foundations. Thanks for making Locked On Fantasy Hockey your 1st listen, every day.
