The NHL season is finally here!
On the first true Daily Faceoff Live of the 2026-27 season, the crew gets set for puck drop by looking at some of the biggest storylines and questions heading into the new year. The guys discuss Adam Fantilli's long-term extension with Columbus before ranking the four divisions based on which one is most likely to produce this season's Stanley Cup champion.
They also dive into some of the biggest milestones on the horizon, including whether Alex Ovechkin can reach 1,000 career goals and if Sidney Crosby can reach 100 points this season. JD Young from Locked On Sharks joins the show to discuss Macklin Celebrini and the pressure facing the Sharks heading into the season.
The crew also answers another round of #AskDFO, checks out what's on the menu, kicks off a new weekly bet365 betting competition, and wraps things up with Garbage Time and the Hurricanes' Stanley Cup rings.
The 2026-27 NHL season is finally here.
