Alex Formenton turns himself into police, vibes are low for Blue Jackets, and can Matthews reach the 70 goal plateau this season?

Ian Mendes and Mark Lazerus discuss the latest news on the Hockey Canada sexual assault scandal, with former NHL player Alex Formenton becoming the first of five members of the 2018 world junior team to turn himself into police. The guys talk about the Edmonton Oilers 16 game win streak, Auston Matthews reaching the 40 goal mark in his 46th game and the mess of a season in Columbus with Patrick Laine entering the NHL/NHLPA Assistance Program, David Jiricek voicing frustration at his AHL demotion and Elvis Merzlikins requesting a trade for a team that had brighter prospects before the Mike Babcock incident derailed their season before it even began.

Eric Loh, NHL on ESPN Programming & Acquisitions Senior Manager joins Mark and Ian to chat about the broadcasting landscape in sport, new innovations on the horizon for ESPN, growing the game and he takes listener questions.
