I think I said last week or the week before that wait until the 15-game mark to see where teams are positioned in the standings. Well, we see teams like the NY Rangers and Montreal Canadiens are in more familiar territory while teams like the Las Vegas Golden Knights and New Jersey Devils are still holding onto to their early season good start.
Pavel Buchnevich is playing with a lot of confidence and hitting the twine quite regularly of late.
Rick Nash has been playing solid all season long and should look to put together a nice scoring streak as he should be getting some puck luck.
Edmonton seems to be treading water this year but perhaps the recall of Jesse Puljujarvi will provide a spark.
Sidney Crosby has just 2 points in past 8 games. Shame on you Sid!
That Ranger-Blue Jacket game early in the week had a box score where just about every player posted had at least 6-7 letters in their last names if not longer.
The 2-game Sweden swing this week worked out well for Ottawa as they won both games against Colorado.
Ottawa’s Mark Stone and Mike Hoffman should both get at least 30 goals apiece this year.
With Matthews out of the lineup a few games sure seems to have awoken Mitch Marner’s game.
I’m expecting the Boston Bruins to start putting things together now that the main guys are all back in the lineup together. First it was Krug and Bergeron, then Marchand, but all in the lineup now.
Torey Krug had 9 SOG in Saturday’s game.
When will Buffalo start to win consistently?
Everyone on Detroit had a SOG except for Martin Frk and that’s a guy you want to shoot the puck?
I think one day the Florida Panthers will wake up and be a terror in this league.
I think the Flyers have been shut out the most so far this season. As much as they can score, that’s 4 times they have been shutout following Minny’s 1-0 shutout on Saturday.
Keep your eye on Alex DeBrincat as he can be a force fairly soon. Those in Dynasty leagues already know.
The NY Islanders are a very schizophrenic team it seems. Play a close, tight-knit game against Edmonton, then get blown out by Dallas, then smother a very good St. Louis team.
Nashville finally beat Pittsburgh in an OT shootout. Just a little too late.
Sorry for the late morning coffee, was having pc issues today.
Have a great week and hope all your fantasies come true!
