Friday's episode begins with a discussion on the new power-play zone entries that the Chicago Blackhawks have been practicing since returning from the Olympic break. Host Jack Bushman discusses whether this could lead to an improved power play over the final 25 games, and then gets into the United States and Canada advancing to the Gold Medal game at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan. The episode concludes with an update on 23-year-old goaltender Stanislav Berezhnoy, who's been suspended for 20 games by the AHL. All that and more on Locked On Blackhawks.
