Radko Gudas of the Anaheim Ducks delivered a flagrant knee-on-knee hit to Toronto Maple Leafs captain Auston Matthews. The Leafs did not respond on the ice. We break down what the incident says about the Leafs team culture and why they didn't come to the defense of their captain.
Plus, what does this incident say about the inconsistency of the NHL Department of Player Safety, which already announced that Gudas will not have an in person hearing and therefore will not get more than a five-game suspension for this dirty and dangerous play.
We also highlight a slate of key weekend games with major playoff implications.
All this and more on today's Locked On NHL Podcast with Rachel Donner and Gil Martin.

On this Thursday edition, hosts Nick Zararis and Hunter Hodies break down the hottest teams and biggest contracts in the league. First, we dive into the miraculous run of the Buffalo Sabres. Since their recent GM change, the Sabres have rocketed up the standings to sit 5th in the entire NHL. We discuss the impact of head coach Lindy Ruff, Alex Lyon's stellar goaltending, and why Buffalo looks like an absolute lock for the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Next, we look at the Columbus Blue Jackets' incredible turnaround. Since bringing Rick Bowness out of retirement to replace Dean Evason, the team has surged back into the playoff hunt with elite defensive play and a Norris-caliber season from Zach Werenski.
Finally, we analyze Nick Schmaltz's massive 8-year, $8 million per year extension with the Utah Mammoths. What does this mean for the rising NHL salary cap, upcoming free agents like Alex Tuch, and the summer trade market?

St. Louis Blues emerge as surprise winners of the 2026 NHL trade deadline, stockpiling assets while shedding aging blue line contracts—are they poised for a swift return to Stanley Cup contention? Seth Toupal and JD Young debate the Blues' strategic retool, highlight Jordan Kyrou, Robert Thomas, and Jordan Binnington's futures, and question how rivals like the New York Rangers and Vegas Golden Knights fumbled their deadline moves.
The conversation heats up around the chaotic Pacific Division, suspect goaltending for both Edmonton Oilers and Vegas, and the arms race in the Central where the Colorado Avalanche, Dallas Stars, and Minnesota Wild fortified their rosters with savvy acquisitions like Nazem Kadri and Michael Bunting. Are the Anaheim Ducks or Utah the dark horse to sneak through the playoff mud? Key issues include cap crunches, trade winners and losers, and playoff survival in the Western Conference meat grinder.

Edmonton Oilers shake up their blue line by acquiring Connor Murphy, aiming to fix defensive struggles before the NHL trade deadline. Can Murphy’s arrival, alongside key salary retention, finally give Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl the back-end stability they need for a deep Stanley Cup run? JD Young and Rachel Donner analyze the Oilers’ cap challenges, the relative value of the trade, and whether further moves are on the horizon amid rumors and limited flexibility.
The conversation heats up around which defensemen could be next on the move—will Rasmus Ristolainen fetch a premium for the Philadelphia Flyers, or could Dougie Hamilton’s massive contract complicate plans for the New Jersey Devils? Hear insider perspectives on Chicago Blackhawks’ asset strategy, the St. Louis Blues’ potential blue line shakeup, and why this year’s quiet coaching carousel could signal bigger offseason changes. Don’t miss this deadline special packed with trade buzz and playoff implications.
