Nick Kypreos and Justin Bourne are joined by New York Rangers hockey analyst and CEO of Clear Sight Analytics Steve Valiquette (1:59) to chat about the Rangers' losing streak reaching 5 games after their 8-4 loss to the Ottawa Senators, Joseph Woll's recent starts and why he would showcase the Leafs' netminder's tape to younger goaltenders, why the numbers reveal the need for a third goalie on an NHL team, and Mitch Marner's ability to setup scorers on the Leafs vs. on the Vegas Golden Knights. Then, on Grill Marks, Vally asks which goalie has the best save percentage when their team is up by one, when the game is tied, and when down by one score. Afterwards, Nick, Justin and Sam McKee look at Zdeno Chára's jersey retirement ceremony with the Boston Bruins.
