In this week’s episode of Stick Talk Hockey, we fire up the microscope and take a deep dive into which prospects and young players are taking off, and which ones are falling off, through the first two months of the 2025–26 NHL season. It’s our official “Glow Up or Blow Up” breakdown, where we highlight the biggest early risers, the most concerning stock-fallers, and what their development paths look like moving forward. Along the way, we also weave in a few of the biggest NHL storylines of the week, reacting to the chaos around the league as we go.

Whether you're tracking prospects, following your favorite team’s future, or just want some early-season hot takes, this one’s packed.
