The NHL coaching carousel just took a massive turn as the Vegas Golden Knights fire Bruce Cassidy — and John Tortorella steps in behind the bench. What does this mean for Vegas in the playoff race, and how quickly can Tortorella make an impact?

With the NHL season entering its final stretch, the playoff race is tightening across both conferences, and several teams suddenly find themselves in serious trouble.

The guys start with the Detroit Red Wings, who are now facing a massive challenge after injuries to Dylan Larkin and Andrew Copp. Can Detroit survive this stretch and finally end their playoff drought?

They also break down the race in the East involving the Penguins, Islanders, Blue Jackets, and Senators, and which teams are most at risk of falling out of the playoff picture.

Plus, the guys discuss the Seattle Kraken slipping after the trade deadline, whether their quiet deadline will come back to haunt them, and the growing pressure on teams fighting to stay in the race.

The conversation also turns to the Toronto Maple Leafs, where a controversial knee-on-knee hit on Auston Matthews sparked a bigger discussion about the team’s culture and lack of response on the ice.

Other topics include:

• The Nick Schmaltz extension in Utah
• Surprising players around the NHL this season
• Which teams are most likely to fall out of the playoff race
• Potential first round playoff matchups to watch

With the postseason approaching fast, every point is starting to matter.
