Just a few posts ago I wrote that nobody was breaking 1.5 PPG in the modern era -- I was wrong! Zetterberg is average 1.8 points per game for the astonishing Detroit Red Wings. The Wings are good, and their performance is aided by the decline of regional foe Nashville, but the other NHL Central teams -- Columbus, St. Louis, and Chicago -- are doing very well.
So filter your player rankings by points per game to find hidden gems. Cory Stillman is available in my league and doing well (he missed a few games).
Spacek is due back from a shoulder injury -- we'll see if he regains his point per game performance, which is great for a defenceman.
Crosby tonight had a goal and three assists in a 4-2 win over defense-oriented Minnesota. That's leadership! Malkin did great too, with three points.
Can Carolina keep winning blowouts? If so, Hurricanes players will be valuable in depth. On most teams, only the top few players are worth having (even more so if the leader is a D), but on teams that score a lot of goals (DET, CAR), players who rank lower are worth having. Last year it was ANH -- ANH is not so good this year.
