About this episode
The NHL world is buzzing after Alex Ovechkin officially becomes Mr. 900, and we’ve got Joe Beninati on to break down what this milestone really means. From Jordan Binnington trying to steal the puck, to Ovi sitting 39 back of Wayne Gretzky when you include playoffs, we dive into whether this chase is still alive — and whether this season could be the beginning of the end for one of the greatest goal scorers ever. Plus, the Washington Capitals’ roller-coaster start continues, but Logan Thompson’s elite numbers (.938 SV%, 1.45 GAA) are impossible to ignore as the Olympic debate heats up. Across the league, the headlines are massive. Macklin Celebrini now leads the NHL in points, Tyler Bertuzzi drops a hat trick, and Connor Bedard posts another multi-point night as the Blackhawks keep surprising. Toronto keeps rolling too — the Maple Leafs are 3-0-0 in November after a brutal October, with Auston Matthews finally looking healthy again and Matias Maccelli delivering a revenge-game performance against Utah. In Calgary, Nazem Kadri celebrates his 1000th NHL game with a goal and a win as Dustin Wolf turns aside 42 of 43. We also look ahead to a packed nine-game slate tonight — Sidney Crosby vs. Alex Ovechkin, a battle of division leaders in Montreal vs. New Jersey, a struggling Tampa Bay Lightning group with Brayden Point and Nikita Kucherov shockingly in the minus column, and whether Anaheim has any chance of hanging with Dallas. Plus, is this the week Barry Trotz steps behind Nashville’s bench? And it’s a special weekend around the sport as the Hockey Hall of Fame celebrates the Class of 2025. Duncan Keith, Zdeno Chara, Joe Thornton, Alex Mogilny, Jack Parker, Jennifer Botterill, Brianna Decker, and Danielle Sauvageau are all being honored — capped off by the HHOF Game between the Hurricanes and Maple Leafs. 🏒 #HockeyTalk #NHL Powered by @bet365.
