In this episode of the Locked on NHL podcast, hosts Seth Toupal and JD Young discuss players who have gotten off to hot starts and which players have gotten off to cold starts. We start with Steven Stamkos and the Nashville Predators' slow start to the season and if it's time to worry. Then Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers are having Déjà vu to last year. Can McDavid pull them out of their funk? Alexandar Georgiev has had a brutal start to the season despite the support Nathan MacKinnon and the other of the Colorado Avalanche have given him. Dustin Wolf and the Calgary Flames have been off to a hot start. Can they keep it going? Filip Gustavsson has been dynamite in net and scoring goals as well, which bodes well for the Minnesota Wild. Finally, despite the rough start of the San Jose Sharks, Tyler Toffoli has settled in nicely in teal.
