The final installment of our 2019 Star Series is the family-men episode. Jeff and Elliotte talk to Couturier, Hertl and Slavin about how their lives changed during the off-season (and hockey, too).

Couturier and Hertl both got married and answer the question everyone wants to know: Which NHLer indulged the most at the wedding? Slavin adopted a daughter and discusses how it’s changed his life.

All three also discuss their games and teams, including: Couturier on his 200-foot game and Carter Hart; Hertl on the Sharks-Golden Knights rivalry and Joe Thornton’s leadership; Slavin on being an analytics darling and the Storm Surge.
