Looking ahead to Thursday's Penguins-Wild game with Seth Toupal!

Well, Hunter didn't get a good birthday gift on Tuesday, that's for sure. That said, he's brushed off that loss and is ready to look forward as the Penguins start another massive three-game road trip. First up is a date with the Minnesota Wild and what better way to talk about that matchup than to bring Seth Toupal on, who's the host of Locked On Wild. They start going over the Penguins' issues and why they got worse on Tuesday against the Toronto Maple Leafs. What's the main culprit right now? Is Sidney Crosby going to get out of this rut? Is it past time to swap Rust and Rakell? Hunter also discusses the lack of scoring depth and how the team continues to get below-average goaltending in their games. After that, they flip to the Wild and touch on how they've struggled this season. What's wrong with their goal-scoring? Do they also have depth issues similar to the Penguins? How has MAF played this year (before he got hurt)? The two also look at if Dean Evason is on the hot seat and if Billy Guerin could make some changes soon before wrapping up with some keys to win for both teams and a prediction. All that, plus much more on this special crossover edition of Locked On Penguins and Locked On Wild.
