The Washington Capitals are having trouble scoring goals and that includes Alex Ovechkin who has just five after 18 games. What do the Caps need to do to get back on track? Dan Holmi of Locked On Capitals joins us to discuss the problems on special teams and offense, the strong goaltending of Logan Thompson and what options the team has to salvage this season. The St. Louis Blues can't seem to find consistency this season as they struggle near the bottom of the NHL's Central Division. Haley Taylor Simon of Locked On Blues joins us to discuss whether it's time to go for a full rebuild which could even involve trading some fan favorite players like Jordan Binnington. The Nashville Predators continue to find themselves near the bottom of the NHL standings in Barry Trotz's second season as general manager.
