00:03 >> Let's take a big picture approach here to the regular season,
00:06 which is the President's Trophy odds here.
00:09 Team that's going to finish the regular season with the most points in the NHL,
00:12 the favorites here.
00:13 Listed as the Panthers, Rangers, Canucks, Bruins, and Jets.
00:16 Do we agree with those favorites right now?
00:18 And also, is there sort of a wild card here that we might wanna watch out for
00:22 playing great hockey down the stretch here, Pete?
00:24 >> Definitely keep an eye out for the Carolina Hurricanes,
00:28 whether it's for Stanley Cup futures or President's Trophy.
00:32 They have some ground to make up here, but again, their major prize is to finally
00:36 break through and win the Stanley Cup.
00:37 They're gonna get Freddie Anderson back from injury very soon.
00:41 Actually, not an injury, a blood clotting issue.
00:43 So glad to hear he's okay and practicing again.
00:46 And he'll be in the fold for Carolina as they try to get over the hump here.
00:50 Certainly having Svechnikov back is the big X factor,
00:54 because they didn't have him in the playoffs last year.
00:57 He's that goal scorer that could maybe have tilted some of those games against
01:01 the Panthers when they were swept.
01:02 Remember, every game was close in the four-game sweep.
01:05 So having a goal scorer like that could make all the difference in getting
01:09 Carolina Rod Brindamore best possession team over the hump
01:14 this particular postseason.
