Released on Oct. 26, 2026, this new Short Shifts episode of the NHL Wraparound podcast brings Neil Smith and Vic Morren together on three big stories from the weekend.
On the menu
- The Connor Hellebuyck trade, finally done.
- Quinn Hughes's first return to Vancouver.
- The Tim Hortons Heritage Classic.
- A look at two teams that never leave the news cycle, notable performances, personnel news and a round of "Connections."
Why it matters for poolers
Hellebuyck's move to New Jersey reshapes the Devils crease and Winnipeg's too. He won his first game on Tuesday night in Dallas. The episode gives useful context on the moves that affect your lineups.
