Panthers defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson speaks after Florida's 5-3 loss in Montreal on April 2. The NHL regular season is nearing its end, and The Hockey Show is gearing up for the postseason. On this week’s episode, hosts Roy Bellamy and David Dwork welcome ESPN’s senior NHL writer Greg Wyshynski. The three talk about the playoffs races in both the Eastern and Western Conferences, who could be in line for a few of the annual trophies handed out by the league and the line brawl between the Rangers and Devils earlier this week, along with several other topics.

It was an up-and-down week for the Cats, who won a pair of games against Detroit and Ottawa but lost a tough back-to-back to the Maple Leafs and Canadiens in which they did not look particularly good. Florida also lost both Carter Verhaeghe and Aaron Ekblad to injuries during the two losses, though both players are expected to be ready when the playoffs begin later this month.
