On today's Women's Hockey Report, host Erica L. Ayala (Locked on Kraken) and Rachel Donner (Locked on Flyers) discuss how the Montreal Victoire and Minnesota Frost have separated themselves a bit from the rest of the pack in the PWHL. We look at key players such as Marie-Philip Poulin, goaltending, and more.

Then we evaluate the roster selections for the upcoming Hockey Canada vs USA Hockey Women's Rivalry Series games. What is different about the teams for this section of the series leading up to IIHF Women's Worlds in April? Were there snubs? We talk NCAA Women's Hockey constraints, Jessie Eldridge, Hannah Miller, Abby Boreen, Nicole Hensley vs Maddie Rooney, Jesse Compher, the NY Sirens additions, and more.

Finally we look at the PWHL three stars of the week (Alina Muller of the Boston Fleet, Hannah Miller of the Toronto Scepters, Taylor Heise of the Minnesota Frost) and ask how the former two can help their struggling teams find success.

The Calgary Flames and Philadelphia Flyers pulled off a major trade on Thursday night with Philly sending forwards Joel Farabee and Morgan Frost to the Calgary Flames for wingers Andrei Kuzmenko, Jakob Pelletier, a 2025 second-round pick, and a 2028 seventh-rounder. We break down the trade from both team's perspectives and what it means for them in this year's playoff chase and in the long run.

Plus, the New York Islanders have now won six in a row. How are they doing it and is it sustainable? Plus, did the injuries the team suffered actually help them play better?

And the Tampa Bay Lightning blanked the Los Angeles Kings last night. The Kings are struggling and may be in danger of falling out of the playoff race in the Western Conference if they don't get things straightened out, while the Bolts are at a crossroads where they could contend for a top spot in the Atlantic or fall out of the playoffs entirely.

In this episode, we explore the significant impact of Logan Thompson's massive contract extension with the Washington Capitals. His six-year, $35 million deal is not just a milestone for the player but also a potential game-changer for the NHL goalie market. We discuss how this contract might set a new precedent for future negotiations and what it means for teams looking to secure top-tier goaltending talent.

Shifting focus to the New York Islanders, we analyze their recent performance struggles, particularly their inconsistent results and a faltering power play. Hosts Seth Topal and JD Young, along with insights from Dan Holmi and Gil Martin, delve into the potential strategies the Islanders might employ to turn their season around. The discussion covers possible roster changes and tactical adjustments that could help the team regain its competitive edge.

Lastly, the episode examines Alex Pietrangelo's decision to withdraw from the Four Nations Face-Off tournament. This move highlights the challenges players face when balancing mid-season international competitions with their NHL commitments. We consider the implications of such decisions on players' careers and team dynamics, offering a comprehensive look at the current challenges within the league. Join us for expert analysis and engaging discussions on these pivotal topics.
