The Leafs Need Scoring Depth; The Avalanche Seek Better Defense; The Blackhawks Deal with a New Coach to Get Connor Bedard Back on Track

The Toronto Maple Leafs have lost two straight and a lack of secondary scoring is a big reason why.

David Morassutti of Locked On Leafs joins us to discuss the reasons for the losing streak, whether John Tavares was snubbed by his omission from Team Canada's 4 Nations Tournament roster and what the Leafs will look to do as we start to think ahead to the NHL Trade Deadline and the impact of the return of Max Pacioretty.

The Colorado Avalanche have struggled all season with injuries and inconsistency in goal and on defense. But they are starting to improve recently.

Kyle Sullivan of Locked On Avalanche joins us to discuss the injury situation, the way this team has played and the underrated coaching job that Jared Bednar has done this season.

And the Chicago Blackhawks fired their coach to get Connor Bedard and the team back on track, but one day later, goalie Petr Mrazek was injured and will miss some time.

Jack Bushman of Locked On Blackhawks joins us to discuss the hiring of Anders Sorensen and what he will have to do to get this team out of the NHL's cellar and what would constitute a successful rest of the season in Chicago.

All this and more on today's Locked On NHL Podcast with Gil Martin.
