Can the Ducks Keep Flying & Macklin Celebrini Leads The Scoring Race | DFO Rundown

Welcome to the DFO Rundown with Jeff Gregor and Mike Rupp!

Gregor and Rupp start off the show discussing Rupp’s Chicago Bulls fandom and whether he might have had a basketball career if he hadn’t pursued hockey. What sport would you play or follow if not for hockey?

Then we dive into Alexander Ovechkin’s remarkable milestone of reaching 900 career goals. We discuss other elite players, past and present, who have hit major milestones or are on pace to do so. Will Connor McDavid or Sidney Crosby reach 2,000 points?

Gregor highlights the incredible consistency and longevity of the Great One, Wayne Gretzky. Gretzky’s goal record was once thought to be unbreakable; could we ever see a player approach his single-season points record of 215?

The Anaheim Ducks have come out of the gates flying. Can the Ducks sustain this hot start and make a Stanley Cup run?

Macklin Celebrini is tied with the likes of Jack Eichel and Connor McDavid atop the NHL points leaderboard. His 200-foot game has Canadian fans asking: will we see Celebrini don the red and white, and black, at the 2026 Olympics?

Gregor and Rupp break down the controversial hit by Tyler Pitlick on Jalen Chatfield. Is the Minnesota Wild forward facing a multi-game suspension?

Later, we play “Fill in the Blanks.”

Morgan Geekie and Cutter Gauthier are surprise entries among the elite goal scorers after the first month of the season.

Which basement-dwelling team from last season has a legitimate shot this year?

Where will the PWHL expand next, following the release of Vancouver and Seattle’s team names yesterday?

Lastly, we discuss the sneaky strong start from the Boston Bruins. The start is surprising, and while the guys don’t think the Bruins will make the playoffs, they love what they’re seeing from Charlie McAvoy and Hampus Lindholm. Can the Bruins squeak into a playoff spot come April?
