The San Jose Sharks (2-1-0) face the St. Louis Blues (1-2) on October 9th following a 5-0 shutout loss to Dallas. Captain Macklin Celebrini is day-to-day with a lower-body injury, leaving a void in the offense. Nine players are on injured reserve, including Matt Duchene and Harrison Scott.

Hosts discuss the impact of Celebrini's absence, the need for Collin Graf and Brett Leason to provide physicality, and the struggles of the power play. Igor Chernyshov's recent hot streak is also analyzed as the team looks to bounce back in Western Conference action.
