Locked On NHL - Daily Podcast On The National Hockey League5 Dec 2025

LOGJAM: NHL Standings Tigher than Ever, When Will It Break?

The NHL standings are so tight right now, with five points separating first place from eighth place in the Metropolitan Division and six points separating first place from sixth place in the Pacific Division. Is this parity good for hockey and when will this logjam finally break? We discuss what impact the compressed schedule has and the tight standings across the league.

Plus, how have the Washington Capitals overcome a slow start to take over first place in the Metro after winning nine of their last 10? Tom Wilson and Alex Ovechkin has helped lead the way but the Caps are getting strong play up and down their lineup.

And we look ahead to the most exciting games this weekend including the classic rivalry between the Montreal Canadiens and the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday night.

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