Toronto’s second line stars against Dallas, a Flames rookie – no, not that one – has a big night and shoutouts for shutouts; lineup news, Fantasy tips and more in Scott Cullen’s Statistically Speaking. HEROES Kadri, Lupul, Santorelli – Toronto’s second line had a big game against Dallas. C Nazem Kadri had a goal and two assists, with 13 shot attempts (6 SOG), giving him seven points (2 G, 5 A) in the past seven games. In his third game since returning from injury, LW Joffrey Lupul scored two goals, his second consecutive multi-point game. RW Mike Santorelli added three assists, giving him seven assists during a four-game point streak. Kadri is the most intriguing of the group, as the debate rages over relative values of Toronto’s centres. I wrote about Tyler Bozak’s hot start to the season a couple days ago and he scored another goal against Dallas, but Kadri continues to produce at a high level during 5-on-5 play: KADRI PRODUCTION YEAR GP G A PTS CF% CorsiRel% PTS/60 2012-13 48 18 26 44 47.1% +3.3% 3.18 2013-14 78 20 30 50 45.3% +3.1% 1.71 2014-15 24 6 8 14 50.1% +3.8% 2.45 Kadri’s come under criticism this season, particularly because he hasn’t done much on the power play – his assist on Phil Kessel’s second-period power-play goal was Kadri’s first power-play point this season – but his 4.68 points-per-60 on the power play over the past three seasons is certainly respectable, ranking 30th among centres who have played at least 300 power play minutes over the past three seasons. In any case, Kadri is going to bring the Maple Leafs to a decision soon enough. He’s a restricted free agent at season’s end and continues to have his name mentioned in trade rumours. Given the difficulty teams have acquiring scoring centres, if Kadri is available, there will surely be a market for his services. Josh Jooris – The Flames rookie centre scored three goals in a 5-2 win over Arizona, giving him 12 points (8 G, 4 A) in 19 games. An undrafted free agent out of Union College, Jooris is scoring on a league-leading 27.6% of his shots (8-for-29), so that’s not going to continue and, like most Flames is struggling in possession (43.4% Corsi), but any contribution from an undrafted rookie free agent is pretty valuable, especially considering Calgary’s injuries at the centre ice position. Shoutouts for Shutouts Marc-Andre Fleury – The Penguins goaltender recorded his league-leading fifth shutout, stopping all 29 shots he faced in Pittsburgh’s 1-0 win against New Jersey. He has a career-best .928 save percentage this season and, according to War On Ice, he’s facing closer-than-average shots, so his adjusted save percentage (.930) is even better. Jonathan Quick – Turned aside all 31 shots he faced in the Kings’ 2-0 win over Boston and now has a career-best .933 save percentage, which has only been moderately helped by shot distances, with a War on Ice adjusted save percentage of .931. ZEROES Mike Smith – The rough season continues for Arizona’s goaltender, who allowed five goals on 23 shots against Calgary. He has a career-low .891 save percentage and while he’s facing closer-than-average shots, his adjusted save percentage (.897) isn’t great either. Olli Jokinen – The veteran forward was stuck in the defensive zone (7 shot attempts for, 14 against, 33.3%) in a 2-1 loss at Carolina, failing to register a shot attempt in 14:56 of ice time. After scoring 43 points in 82 games for Winnipeg last season, Jokinen has one goal and no assists in 24 games this year. His points per 60 is worst among forwards with at least 300 5-on-5 minutes this season. FEWEST POINTS PER 60 MINUTES, 5-ON-5 FORWARD TEAM PTS/60 Olli Jokinen Nashville 0.20 Jarret Stoll Los Angeles 0.39 Dainius Zubrus New Jersey 0.40 Chris Stewart Buffalo 0.73 Reilly Smith Boston 0.87 Justin Williams – Gasp! The analytics star didn’t register a shot attempt in 17:46 against Boston, finishing the night with 43.3% possession (13 attempts for, 17 against). He’s still a strong puck possession player (54.2% Corsi), but that mark is his lowest since the 2008-09 season. LINEUP NEED TO KNOW Chris Kunitz – Injuries keep decimating the Pittsburgh forward ranks as Kunitz is out for a couple weeks with a broken foot. With Kunitz joining Pascal Dupuis on the shelf, Sidney Crosby had Patric Hornqvist and Nick Spaling on his wings, leaving Blake Comeau and Jayson Megna to skate with Evgeni Malkin. Jaromir Jagr - Before getting knocked from the game by a hit from Penguins D Robert Bortuzzo, Jagr had a stellar possession game (15 shot attempts for, 3 against, 83.3%) in New Jersey’s 1-0 loss. Jagr figuratively beat up on the defence pairing of Bortuzzo and Paul Martin with 10 shot attempts for and none against vs. Bortuzzo and 11 for with none against vs. Martin. Cal Clutterbuck – The Islanders’ mucker played 5:48 against Ottawa before leaving with a lower-body injury. Michael Ryder – The Devils made Ryder, their fourth-leading scorer (with 12 points in 24 games) a healthy scratch for Tuesday’s game against Pittsburgh. Scott Gomez – Returned to the Devils for the first time since 2007, centering Jaromir Jagr and Tuomo Ruutu. More remarkably, he played 22:10, his most in a game since March 18, 2011, and had solid possession (23 shot attempts for, 12 against, 65.7%). Alec Martinez – Returned to the Kings blueline after missing three weeks with a broken finger, pushing Jamie McBain to the press box. SHORT SHIFTS Islanders D Thomas Hickey had a goal and an assist, while playing a season-high (and team-leading) 23:08, in a 3-2 win over Ottawa. He has five points (1 G, 4 A) in the past six games…Canucks LW Daniel Sedin had two goals and an assist, C Henrik Sedin had a pair of assists and RW Radim Vrbata notched a goal and an assist in Vancouver’s 4-3 win over Washington…Hurricanes RW Jeff Skinner put up a goal and an assist in a 2-1 win over Nashville…Maple Leafs D Cody Franson had a pair of assists in a 5-3 win over Dallas, giving him 14 points (3 G, 11 A) in the past 13 games…D Dion Phaneuf added two assists, and now has five assists in the past six games…Panthers RW Jimmy Hayes contributed a goal and an assist in a 4-3 win at Detroit.

Hurricanes G Cam Ward stopped 32 of 33 shots in a 2-1 win over Nashville…Sabres G Jhonas Enroth turned aside 26 of 27 shots, backstopping the Sabres to a 2-1 shootout win over the Lightning…Bruins G Niklas Svedberg stopped 33 of 34 shots in a 2-0 loss at Los Angeles. Bruins rookie RW David Pastrnak had nine more shot attempts in a 2-0 loss at Los Angeles. Through his first four games – way too soon to put stock in the results -- Pastrnak is generating shot attempts at an amazing level. Among players with at least 40 minutes of 5-on-5 play this season: INDIVIDUAL SHOT ATTEMPTS PLAYER TEAM SHOT ATTEMPTS/60 David Pastrnak Boston 28.3 James Neal Nashville 23.9 Alex Ovechkin Washington 22.1 Brendan Gallagher Montreal 21.6 Jeremy Morin Chicago 21.5 FIRSTS Scott Wilson – A seventh-round pick of the Penguins from 2011, Wilson made his NHL debut, playing just 4:21 against the Devils. He had 12 points (3 G, 9 A) in 21 AHL games before getting called up. Brendan Shinnimin – Missed his NHL debut over the weekend, but the undrafted free agent has now played a couple games for Arizona after getting promoted from the AHL, where he had 14 points (4 G, 10 A) in 19 games with Portland. FANTASY FOCUS Four games tonight, four players to consider for your fantasy lineup: Marco Scandella – With injuries/illness befalling the Minnesota blueline, Scandella is playing big minutes, more than 20 minutes in eight of the past nine games. Antti Raanta – With Corey Crawford hurting, the opportunity is there for Chicago’s backup goaltender to get some reps. Raanta has stopped 84 of 90 shots (.933 SV%) in three appearances this season. Nail Yakupov – The world is crashing down around the Oilers right now, and Yakupov – currently mired in a nine-game point drought – has mostly been a mess, but he played 17:35 last game and is probably overdue for something good to happen. Matt Beleskey – Making the most of his opportunity to play with Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry, Beleskey has four points (3 G, 1 A) in the past four games.

Sure, Josh Browns 45-yard field goal on the third drive of overtime lifted the New York Giants to a 23-20 win over Detroit on Sunday. But the Lions (7-8) dropped themselves out of the NFC North race by losing five of their last six games, blowing fourth-quarter leads in each setback. Brewers Jerseys 2020 . Off-season additions Jermain Defoe and Michael Bradley did not train with the club today, prompting Nelsen to declare its too early to tell if either will be ready for Saturday. https://www.cheapbrewers.com/1359y-trey-...ey-brewers.html. General manager David Poile called signing Ribeiro a great opportunity to add a talented, experienced and creative centre Tuesday when he introduced the veteran at a news conference. Ribeiros contract is worth $1.05 million after being bought out of the final three years of a $22 million contract by the Coyotes recently. Trey Supak Jersey . It was the most lopsided loss in Lakers history. Darren Collison had a team-high 24 points while starting at shooting guard for the injured Jamal Crawford. Chris Paul added 13 points and 11 assists for the Clippers, who apparently are trying to make up for decades of humiliation at the hands of the Lakers all in one season; theyve won the last two meetings by a combined 84 points.
