A look at the ones who got away.
Episode 4, better late than never.
Once more into the breach dear friends...
This is your X-men update.
Highlights:
Ben Bishop lost 1, got hurt, came back and looked good in a win, but the REAL highlight was his response to a cup check...
Brad Boyes scored in 2 of his last 3 games.
Matt D’Agostini scored the Sabres only goal in their 7-1 curbstomping by the avalanche.
Radek Dvorak hasn’t played since the 27th and it is rumored that the Canes are looking for replacements.
Lars Eller’s pointless streak continues.
Erik Johnson had 3 assists in Colorado’s Buffalo beatdown and ended up with 4 on the week.
David Perron had 5 points in the last week, with his second career hat trick against Vancouver and 2 assists against Buffalo.Edmonton has won 4 out of 5, which may explain the cold temperatures lately.
Kris Russell is day-to-day with an injury. Again.
Lee Stempniak is on a tear with 1 goal and 5 assists in his last 5 games. Calgary has won 5 in a row.THAT must be what explains the colder temperatures lately.
Tyson Strachan has been called up to Washington and has played their last 2 games, averaging about 15 minutes per.
Dennis Wideman has 3 points in 2 games.
