Hosted by Kyle Knopp and Matthew Zator, The Hockey Writers Podcast is where your favourite THW contributors discuss the hottest topics around the NHL and hockey world, five days a week (Monday to Friday). In today’s episode, Matthew is joined by regular Thursday panellists Melissa Boyd (Montreal Canadiens) and Mariah Stark (Minnesota Wild) to discuss the Wild's bounce-back effort against the St. Louis Blues in Game 2, Kirill Kaprizov's continued assault on the Wild record books with the franchise's first playoff hat trick, the Lightning and Andrei Vasilevskiy's amazing run of winning Game 2 after losing Game 1 and what the Maple Leafs need to do to grab the momentum back in Game 3.
The crew also gives their thoughts on the other series in the Eastern and Western Conferences, including the Oilers tying their series against the Kings and the Hurricanes going up 2-0 against the Bruins in the only series that has seen a team win two straight so far. Finally, before going into their articles of the day, they predict which lower-seed could potentially pull off an upset in the first round.
