Our NHL insider Sean Shapiro joins for his weekly visit. The guys discuss Jake Oettinger's performance and how great a goalie he is in this league. The Stars are 14-0 with a lead heading into the third period. Sean got to speak with Jim Nill about the division and Mikko Rantanen. Tyler Seguin had surgery and will be reevaluated after the Olympic break. Sean thinks it would be better not to push him in his recovery and get him ready for next season. The guys preview the upcoming game with Anaheim and talk about Lindy Ruff moving into fourth place on the NHL's all-time list with 915 victories.
