Former NHLer and NHL Network analyst Mike Rupp (5:25) joins Nick Kypreos and Justin Bourne to chat about the New York Islanders hiring Peter DeBoer as head coach to replace Patrick Roy, if he can finally lead a team to a Stanley Cup win, the New York Rangers' late-season resurgence, teams who have had a great start to their year now dropping games during a playoff race, if the Ottawa Senators can go on a deep Stanley Cup run if they make it in, if playoffs dictate Macklin Celebrini's Hart Trophy case, and if 'coaching bump' is a real thing. Then, Nick, Justin and Sam McKee discuss the Columbus Blue Jackets dropping in the standings and race, and how the Ottawa Senators control their Wild Card destiny.

Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee look back on the Toronto Maple Leafs' high-scoring overtime loss to the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday.
