Ryan Kennedy and Ken Campbell discuss whether Boston is the cup favorite, Fleury hitting the 1000-game mark, injury troubles in Tampa Bay, Kraken talk with Glenn Dreyfuss and much more.
It's a new episode of The Hockey News Pre-Game Show on the Game+ Network with Ryan Kennedy and guest host Ken Campbell.
The guest on this episode is Glenn Dreyfuss, editor of The Hockey News' Seattle Kraken site, to discuss Seattle's ideal plan for the deadline, Matty Beniers sophomore slump and more.
Also, with the Bruins firing on all cylinders despite off-season departures, are they the favorites to win it all? And with Fleury notching game 1,000, could he be a potential deadline candidate? Plus, an injury to Mikhail Sergachev could derail Tampa's playoff hopes, Ottawa showing big interest in the Flames' Chris Tanev, and the guys will even play a game of NHL should he stay or should he go ahead of the trade deadline.
All that and much more, so let's get started. Find the show on TV with the Game+ Network on Tuesdays and Saturdays at 6 p.m. ET.
