About this episode
We kick off our NHL division previews for the 2025-26 season starting with the Atlantic Division, led by the two-time Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers who will be without their captain and MVP Sasha Barkov with an injury for the entire season. Are the Lightning now the team to beat? Will the Maple Leafs win without Mitch Marner? Is it a reboot or a rebuild for the Bruins? Is this finally the year that the Red Wings and Sabres join the Habs and Sens in the playoffs? Hailey, Max and Sean and The Athletic’s beat writers preview it all.
Hosts: Hailey Salvian, Sean Gentille, and Max Bultman
With: Shayna Goldman, Julian McKenzie, Matthew Fairburn, Arpon Basu, Jonas Siegel and Fluto Shinzawa
