The DFO Rundown

It was a busy week in the NHL both on and off the ice. The Islanders look set to return to the postseason, and the good news continues as 2024 20th overall pick Cole Eiserman has signed with New York and will head to the American Hockey League's Bridgeport Islanders.

Auston Matthews' season is done. Will the Leafs' captain remain in Toronto for the long haul? Can the Leafs execute a quick turnaround to get back into playoff contention next season?

Finally, the NHL's Department of Player Safety has been in the news for much of this last week. Irf and David share their thoughts on George Parros' comments.

Meet our insiders: Irfaan Gaffar of Daily Faceoff, Canucks Army, & Rink Wide Vancouver is joined by David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period, SiriusXM NHL, and NHL Network.

Welcome to the DFO Rundown with Jason Gregor and Jeff Marek.

The Buffalo Sabres are suddenly one of the hottest teams in the NHL.

On this episode of the DFO Rundown, Jason Gregor and Jeff Marek break down Buffalo’s incredible run since the Olympic break and how the Sabres have rapidly gained ground in the standings.
Meanwhile, the Tampa Bay Lightning are going the opposite direction, dropping games and allowing teams behind them to close the gap. With the playoff race tightening across the league, momentum swings are starting to reshape the standings.

Gregor and Marek discuss:
• The Sabres’ surge and the atmosphere around the team right now
• Why the Lightning have struggled during this stretch
• How quickly playoff races can change late in the season
• Which teams are building momentum heading into the final push

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

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:

Which deadline trade talks could pick back up this summer? On this episode of the DFO Rundown Insider Edition, the guys look at some of the names that generated buzz at the trade deadline but ultimately stayed put. Could those conversations pick back up once the offseason begins?

Players like Matthew Knies, Robert Thomas, Jordan Kyrou and Rasmus Ristolainen were tied to plenty of speculation, and teams that missed out in March may circle back when the market opens again.

They also discuss clubs that could still be looking to fill key holes in their rosters, including the Ottawa Senators and Montreal Canadiens. Neither team made a big move in March, but both could be big players in June and July.
