On today's Western Conference Tuesday edition of the Locked on NHL Podcast, Seth Toupal and Nick Morgan discuss whether or not the Dallas Stars are indeed a wagon as Avalanche head coach Jared Bednar called them after the Stars won their most recent head to head matchup. We look at the depth scoring the Stars boast, with 9 players having reached the 50 or more point plateau. We also discuss Jake Oettinger starting to round into form down the stretch. Seth and Nick move to Mikko Rantanen, working his way through concussion procotol with hopes of being ready to play when the postseason starts. We look at how critical Rantanen is to the Avs success and just how good he would be as the number 1 option for just about any other franchise. We finish looking at the run Kirill Kaprizov has been on, and why it is critical for the Wild to try to find additional options to score beyond their top line trio.
