But, now a new issues has come up, over the last eight games, this team has failed to score the first goal in any of them. We discuss this problem and what the team can do about it.

Plus, we have the latest news on Anthony Duclair and his return and the roster moves concerning Grant Hutton and Semyon Varlamov.

Cole Eiserman and Danny Nelson are set to represent Team USA at the World Juniors and we preview Saturday's game against John Tavares and the Toronto Maple Leafs.
