Never
count out the New Jersey Devils.
With Zach Parise leading the
attack and Martin Brodeur between
the pipes, this team is dangerous |

Remind
us again why the Blackhawks would
want to trade Patrick Sharp? |

Dany
Heatley's 21 goals are expected...
but Patrick Marleau has lit the
lamp just as many times. |

Tomas
Fleischmann has 13 goals and 21
points in 23 games... impressive. |

Even
with Sidney Crosby and Evgeni
Malkin, the Penguins can't seem to
get the powerplay going -- they
rank 29th in the NHL on the
man-advantage. |

Youngster Drew Doughty has stepped
up nicely this season for the
Kings, picking up eight goals and
16 assists so far. |

Does
anyone know what happened to Craig
Conroy? He's only picked up seven
assists this year. |

If the
Predators didn't have Pekka Rinne
between the pipes, they'd be near
the bottom of the West... |

...Ditto for the Coyotes and Ilya
Bryzgalov. |

Wojtek
Wolski is doing everything right
for Colorado this year. He leads
the team in goals with 13 and has
notched 20 assists. |

Someone needs to tell Ryan Miller
to calm down. He's been absolutely
unstoppable this season. |

Tuukka
Rask is making a big name for
himself very quickly in Boston.
He's 9-2-2 with a 1.97
goals-against-average this season. |

The
Stars needed Loui Eriksson to fill
a big offensive void for them this
year and he's yet to disappoint. |
|

Who
has had a more important start to
the season: Maxim Afinogenov or
Rich Peverley? |

Martin
Havlat's finally woken up out of
his slumber. He's collected seven
points in his last four games. |
|

Mike
Fisher's been making a huge
argument for the Canadian Olympic
squad; he's second in team scoring
with 28 points. |

Apparently you're not cool in
Detroit unless you get injured. |

When
did Henrik Sedin explode into 3rd
in NHL scoring?? |
|

Nathan
Horton and Stephen Weiss have been
producing very well for the
Panthers lately. Now they just
need Rostislav Olesz to join them. |
|

Dustin
Penner doesn't look like he has
any intention of slowing down. He
continues to lead the Oilers in
scoring. |

Until
Steve Mason can get his act
together this season, the Blue
Jackets are going to have a bumpy
ride. |
|

 |

Paul
Kariya, Keith Tkachuk and Andy
McDonald aren't getting the job
done in St. Louis. If that
continues, they aren't making the
playoffs this season. |

Marian
Gaborik is still waiting for the
rest of his teammates to chip in
offensively. |
|

The
Leafs are definitely spreading
around the offense, but they need
more consistency from their
top-six forwards. |
|

At
least they get Andrei Markov back
this weekend! |

If
Scott Niedermayer is a minus-10,
you know something's wrong. |

Brendan Witt can stop an SUV is
its tracks, but he can't seem to
stop opposing players from skating
by him. |
|

Matt
Carle used to be among the top
NHLers in +/-... He's a minus-7 in
his last 10 games. |
|

Vinny
Lecavalier's been playing better
of late, but the Lightning need
him to start scoring goals if they
want to make a run at a playoff
spot. |
