Which Teams Can Sustain Their Impressive Starts to the Season and Who Will Fall Back?

The Colorado Avalanche remain the best team in the NHL having lost just twice in regulation all season long.

Zach Pearson of Locked On Avalanche discusses the outstanding play of Nathan MacKinnon, the great goaltending the team is getting and what it will take for the Avs to sustain this outstanding level of play all season long.

The Los Angeles Kings are winning with great goaltending from Darcy Kuemper and strong team defense but can they keep winning without scoring more?

Eddie Garcia of Locked On Los Angeles Kings joins us to discuss the reasons for the Kings success, the legacy of Anze Kopitar as he winds down his career and what it will take for the Kings to contend in the West this season.

The Pittsburgh Penguins have been one of the surprise teams in the very tight Eastern Conference with special teams and goalie Tristan Jarry leading the way.
