Jonatan Lindquist joins the show to discuss the latest NHL Global Series venture and the league's attempts to grow the game overseas (1:00), the Devils pursuit to build off last year's surprising success and avoid regressing (12:30), John Gibson's excellence and the Ducks reliance on youth (21:30), the Sharks early season growing pains (34:00), and the differences between European Pro Leagues and the NHL (46:30).

A reminder that we're hosting a daily fantasy listener league contest over at FanDuel every Thursday this season. While you wait for the next opportunity to play to come around, go over to fanduel.com/PDO and tell them we’ve sent you. They’ll hook you up with a bonus $20 to play with after your first deposit, which will surely come in handy throughout the year. See you there!

Sponsoring today’s show is For Hims, which will serve as a one-stop shop for all of your hair loss, skincare, and other wellness supplement needs. They'll connect you with real doctors and medical grade solutions, while sparing you the embarrassment of in-doctor visits and saving you the time you would've otherwise spent sitting in a waiting room. Just go to forhims.com/pdo and answer a few quick questions, a doctor will review your file and prescribe what you need, and the products will be shipped directly to your door. As my listener, if you let them know we've sent you you'll even get a trial month for just $5 right now while supplies last. See the website for full details.
