The 4 Nations Face-Off Final is set, and Dylan Larkin's Detroit Red Wings are also gearing up to return to play... (00:00)

Tune in as we're joined by Max Bultman of The Athletic Detroit to discuss the USA vs. Canada rematch in the 4 Nations Face-Off, including how we got here, Dylan Larkin, Brady & Matthew Tkachuk, and Team USA (without Quinn Hughes) taking on Connor McDavid, Nathan MacKinnon, Sidney Crosby, & Team Canada. Also, Larkin & Lucas Raymond's performances & what this means for their play in Hockeytown (3:55).

After that, quick notes on Detroit's locker room dynamic, and why Andrew Copp, Jeff Petry, and Jonatan Berggren were notable in a player poll (30:15).

Next, we take a look ahead at the NHL Trade Deadline as Steve Yzerman will decide whether to stand pat, sell, or bolster Todd McLellan's team: find support for Moritz Seider & Simon Edvinsson on defense? More offense to help Alex DeBrincat and Patrick Kane? Trade Vladimir Tarasenko? Is Elias Petterson an option or better to wait for Mikko Rantanen or Mitch Marner (36:20)?

Finally, NHL news including Gary Bettman's final CBA and the white vs. dark home vs. away jersey debate (51:25) before we take your questions and comments in our Overtime segment (59:35) - enjoy!
