    The next installment of "Which Teammates Are Most Likely" has arrived.

    A while ago, New Jersey Devils forward Paul Cotter selected Tomas Tatar as the next series participant.

    I tend to avoid doing these segments at morning skates when the guys have a game ahead that needs their attention. With their current schedule, I asked Tatar if he could sit with me, and in true Tatar fashion, he smiled and agreed. He joined Curtis Lazar, Dawson Mercer, Nathan Bastian, Cotter, and ex-Devil Chris Tierney by answering which teammate is most likely.

    Q: Which teammate is most likely to lock himself out of his house?

    Tomas Tatar: I would actually say Paul Cotter. I think it happened to him, to be honest. So, I think that was pretty accurate.

    Q: Which teammate is most likely to win a team-wide deadlift competition? 

    Tatar: It is probably (Kurtis MacDermid). Yeah, by quite a bit. He is a big boy.

    Q: Which teammate is most likely to create a viral dance challenge?

    Tatar: Um, I will go with Luke Hughes. I think when he is having fun, he could come up with something. 

    Q: Which teammate is most likely to spend all their money on food?

    Tatar: That has gotta be Stefan Noesen. He likes his food and is very picky. 

    Q: Which teammate is most likely to cancel plans at the last minute? 

    Tatar: That is tough. I think everybody is responsible, to be honest. I don't think someone would do it at the last second. If anyone (did), that would be me.

    The Hockey News: I respect that. You are throwing yourself under the bus. You know, Sheldon Keefe said you were a tremendous teammate. This is evidence of that. 

    Q: Which teammate is most likely to win The Amazing Race? 

    THN Follow-up: Do you know what that reality TV show is?

    Tatar: No.

    Editor's Note: Kristy was prepared to explain the entire synopsis of The Amazing Race to Tatar. Please allow time for explanation... 

    Tatar: I would probably say Brenden Dillon and Jake Allen. Both of them are Canadian country boys. I would probably trust them the most and stuff like this.

    THN: See, I was thinking Nico Hischier and Jonas Siegenthaler.

    Tatar: No, Siegy is a city boy - he uses GPS and his phone. 

    Editor's Note: The jury is apparently still out on Nico Hischier.

    Q: Which teammate is most likely to lose to you in pre-game soccer? 

    Tatar: All of them. The two guys I am trying to get are either Erik Haula or Paul Cotter. Those are my two targets.
