NHL 2024-25 Season Preview: Metropolitan Division

PHLY Flyers beat writer Charlie O’Connor joins the show to preview the NHL’s Metropolitan Division. Can Matvei Michkov push the Philadelphia Flyers to be competitive in the East? Will the New York Rangers and Carolina Hurricanes remain the top teams or will the new additions to the New Jersey Devils pay off in the standings? Can Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins still compete for the playoffs? What about Alex Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals? Where do the New York Islanders fit? And how will the loss of Johnny Gaudreau affect the Columbus Blue Jackets?

Petey and Leah give their predictions for the Metro, discuss Tucson Roadrunners training camp, ASU Hockey opening weekend at Air Force and chat the latest NHL in Arizona rumors addressed by Frank Seravalli earlier this week.
