Mid-Season Surprises
February 20, 2013
After a brief review of the some of the NHL underachievers in our last update, we take a quick glance at the other side of the spectrum and teams that have proven pleasant surprises thus far.
Although few are shocked that Chicago has emerged as an apparent serious contender, not even Bill Murray could have envisioned his beloved Blackhawks having avoided defeat in regulation time through the first month of the season. And not many Chicago fans expected such stellar work from goaltenders Corey Crawford (1.65 GAA) and Ray Emery, who have combined for a 1.82 GAA in the first 15 games of the season. Crawford, in particular, has raised his game, not coincidentally with rumors of possible Blackhawks interest in available Canucks GK Roberto Luongo. Emery has also been up to the task, as he was on Sunday between the pipes for a game against the visiting Cup holder Kings, a game in which Chicago prevailed 3-2 with Crawford temporarily sidelined (more below in the Ticker notes).
Goaltending has been mostly a sore spot for the Hawks since Antti Niemi abandoned the Windy City for San Jose following the Stanley Cup season of 2009-10, so Crawford's emergence is a very big deal for a team that seems to have all of the other pieces in place for another Cup run, including young stars winger Patrick Kane and center Jonathan Toews, who comprise two-thirds of one of the most-lethal lines in the league. The availability of winger Marian Hossa, back at full strength after being KO'd by that hard hit from the Coyotes' Raffi Torres in the playoffs last spring and on his usual scoring trajectory with six goals and 12 points in 15 games, has been another plus.
It's no surprise that Chicago is now listed as the favorite to lift the Stanley Cup; the Hawks are being quoted at 6/1 or thereabouts to win the title as we move into late February.
Giving chase to Chicago is surprising Anaheim, which continues its own remarkable start to the campaign and sits on 23 points thru 15 games, trailing only the Hawks in the West. We talked late last week about the emergence of GK Viktor Fasth; since then Fasth has won again (at Nashville) and has improved his record to an amazing 8-0-0, with a 1.78 GAA. Only the aforementioned Ray Emery (in his Ottawa days) and Bob Froese (from his early days with the Flyers in the '80s) have ever won their first eight starts as goalies in the NHL. Fasth's success and 93.3% saves suggest that former first-stringer Jonas Hiller, who has struggled in limited work early this season and now battles a lower-body injury, will proceed in a backup role until further notice.
But the Ducks, left at the starting gate and too far out of the playoff mix to make a postseason run after former Caps HC Bruce Boudreau was hired to replace Randy Carlyle in early December last season, have not put themselves in the same hole this term with their 11-2-1 start. Their ability to win shootouts (four of 'em) has been a plus that might be hard to sustain, but Boudreau is getting contributions from a variety of sources (13 different Anaheim players have already scored this season prior to Monday's game vs. the Blue Jackets). Bobby Ryan and Daniel Winnik each have scored five goals to lead the team, but contributions have been widespread, with 2007 Cup holdovers Ryan, fellow winger Corey Perry, center Ryan Getzlaff, and the ageless winger Teemu Selanne (tops on the team with 15 points in 14 games!) all in productive form, while vet center Saku Koivu provides an important pivot point in the middle of the Selanne-Winnik line.
Meanwhile, raise your hand if you expected surprising Carolina to break so quickly from the gate. The Hurricanes are keeping on the heels of East leaders Pittsburgh and Boston, thanks to surprising and unexpected success away from Raleigh, as Carolina was 4-0-1 its last five away prior to Monday night's game at Montreal. Moreover, the Canes have been lethal, scoring a whopping 20 goals in those last five road outings.
Star center Eric Staal's team-high eight goals and nine assists have all come during his current 11-game point streak. And production from unlikely sources such as defenseman Joe Corvo, who had keyed the recent Carolina surge with five points in four games since being a healthy scratch for three straight contests Feb. 2-7, has further fueled the uprising for Kirk Muller's troops.
Adding Eric Staal's younger brother, star defender Jordan, in the offseason from the Penguins, has also been a plus; Jordan Staal can control the puck along boards and win puck battles, and he also leads the team with 10 assists in the early going. Another offseason addition, ex-Cap Alex Semin, is the ultra-skilled right winger the Canes have needed for a long time. Semin's presence has also bolstered the line featuring Eric Staal, who is getting great benefit from Semin's ability to control the puck, making it harder for defenders to concentrate upon the multi-skilled Eric.
Proceeding forward, Muller is going to need more consistency from his special teams, as both the power play and penalty kill have been middling at best. And he'll need better work from goalie Cam Ward, who was instrumental in the Hurricanes' Cup win back in 2006 but has been laboring with a 3.22 GAA in his first ten games this season. His improvement will be key, although useful veteran backup Dan Ellis is proving a handy second option in goal, with a 3-1-0 mark, 1.75 GAA, and 94.3 save percentage in the early going. In upcoming games, Muller could be tempted to use more of Ellis, which might not be bad thing. Stay tuned for further developments.
Following is a quick personnel/injury "Ticker" update from around the NHL...
CHICAGO...Keep tabs on key defender Johnny Oduya, who suffered a possible concussion on Sunday vs. the Kings and is questionable for Tuesday's game vs. Vancouver. As is the aforementioned GK Corey Crawford, dealing with an upper-body injury that might jeopardize his status for that early-season showdown vs. Vancouver, which did beat the Hawks in a shootout at Rogers Arena back on February 1. Ray Emery, in the nets for the 3-2 win vs. the Kings on Sunday, starts again if Crawford can't make the post.
MONTREAL...Don't worry if you don't see GK Carey Price or defender P.K. Subban in the lineup for Les Habitants on Monday vs. the visiting Hurricanes; both had been temporarily knocked out with a bad case of the flu over the weekend, but any absences are likely to be short-lived. As is that of winger Max Pacioretty, suffering from an upper body injury and a nasty cut that knocked him out of the Saturday game vs. the Flyers but who is not expected to miss much, if any, ice time beyond perhaps Monday's game vs. Carolina. Not so lucky is promising rookie winger Brendan Gallagher (five goals), KO'd by a concussion in last Saturday's win over the Flyers and out indefinitely. The Canadiens, however, seemed to have turned the corner after bottoming out in a recent 6-0 home loss to the hated Maple Leafs, completing a brief but ineffective barren stretch in which they allowed 12 goals in three games. Since the loss to Toronto, Montreal has allowed just four goals while winning three in a row prior to the visit by Carolina on Monday night.
PHILADELPHIA...Sources say that center and team captain Claude Giroux read the riot act to the troops after their uninspired 4-1 loss on Saturday at Montreal. Giroux was also addressing himself, with a minus-6 rating and mere 10 points through 16 games after finishing third in the NHL last season with 93 points. He's not the only Flyer who has struggled, as those ranks would also include winger Max Talbot, who has no goals after scoring a career-high 19 last season; defenseman Braydon Coburn, whose -9 rating is among the league's worst; and center Sean Couturier, who had 27 points as a rookie last season but had no goals and a mere two assists over the past eight games prior to Monday's game against the Islanders. Although maybe something that Giroux said happened to work, as the Flyers looked like a different team in the Presidents Day matinee at the Nassau Coliseum, burying the host Islanders 7-0. It was a good time for the Flyers to run into the Isles, who have now lost 14 of their last 15 at home vs. Philly. And the Flyers are an overwhelming 29-3-1 their last 33 vs. the Islanders after the rout that featured a couple of overdue goals from Giroux and four assists from winger Jakub Voracek. Flyers coach Peter Laviolette was also undoubtedly pleased with the performance of GK Ilya Bryzgalov, who had been extremely erratic all season but who stepped forward with his first shutout win of the season on Monday. There's still work to be done, as the Flyers had been allowing a hefty 3.5 goals pg on the road prior to Monday, but a settled Bryzgalov could solve some of Laviolette's GK headaches and suggest better things to come in Philly.
ST. LOUIS...The Blues looking for some help in goal, with Jaroslav Halak slowly recovering from a groin strain and Brian Elliott having lost all confidence after repeated shellings and one of the worst GAA marks (3.57) in the NHL, as well as a dreadful .791 save percentage on a recent winless four-game homestand. Blues HC Ken Hitchcock has turned to young Jake Allen, a 22-year-old rookie who was recently recalled from Peoria of the AHL. Allen posted a 2.58 GAA in winning all three games on the Blues' recent road trip, capped by a 28-save performance Sunday in a 4-3 shootout win over Vancouver, temporarily plugging what had become a gaping hole in the St. Louis defensive dike. The power play continues to work for the Blues, converting a league-best 34.6% with the man advantage, and young Swedish center Patrik Berglund is already on 8 goals. St. Louis will be moving forward, however, without useful vet winger Jamie Langenbrunner, who is now out for the season after undergoing surgery on an injured hip.
SAN JOSE...What's wrong with the Sharks? The talk of the league along with Chicago in the first two weeks of the season when breaking from the gate with seven straight wins, San Jose instead enters the week in the throes of a mysterious 7-game losing streak (with three of those in shootouts that at least salvaged a point for Todd McLellan's troops). Problem areas have been easy to identify, especially on attack, where goals have dried up after San Jose scored 23 of them in the first five games; the Sharks have tallied only 12 in their last nine games thru Feb. 18, with Patrick Marleau's blazing start (nine goals in the first five games!) now a distant memory with only one goal in the last nine. Marleau and Joe Thornton amassed 14 points over the first six games, but have combined for only two points the last eight. Goalie Antti Niemi has also conceded some egregious goals in recent outings. And at the midpoint of difficult six-game road trip (next stop Tuesday at St. Louis), not sure the Sharks can turn things around quickly.

Thursday, February 21
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Around the rink: Thursday's NHL betting notes
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Buffalo Sabres at Toronto Maple Leafs (-115, 5.5)
Probable starting goaltenders: Ryan Miller (BUF), Ben Scrivens (TOR)
Following a 2-1 home loss to Winnipeg on Tuesday that saw Buffalo fall to 3-7-0 in its last 10 games, the Sabres fired Lindy Ruff, who had been the team’s head coach since 1997. Ron Rolston, who guided Rochester of the American Hockey League, will serve as interim coach tonight for the third of four matchups this season between the Northeast Division rivals. The Sabres and Maple Leafs split the first two games this season, with Buffalo winning 2-1 at Toronto on Jan. 21 and the Maple Leafs claiming a 4-3 road triumph in overtime eight days later. The under is 3-0-1 in the Maple Leafs’ last four overall.
Florida Panthers at Philadelphia Flyers (-134, 5.5)
Probable starting goaltenders: Jose Theodore (FLA), Ilya Bryzgalov (PHI)
Florida is mired in a five-game winless skid (0-2-3) - with three of the setbacks resulting in shutouts. The Panthers failed to score in their last outing - a 3-0 loss to Toronto on Tuesday. The Flyers salvaged a split of their season-high six-game road trip by scoring 13 goals in their final two contests. The under is 6-1 in the last seven meetings.
New Jersey Devils at Washington Capitals (-101, 5)
Probable starting goaltenders: Martin Brodeur (NJ), Braden Holtby (WSH)
The Devils have won the last four meetings between the clubs - including a 3-2 overtime victory in New Jersey on Jan. 25. David Clarkson, who has scored a team-high 10 goals, said he will be back in the lineup Thursday after tweaking his back earlier in the week. Washington, which lost six of its first seven (1-5-1), had a three-game winning streak snapped in Sunday's 2-1 loss at the New York Rangers. New Jersey is 8-1 in its last nine Thursday games.
Winnipeg Jets at Carolina Hurricanes (-143, 5.5)
Probable starting goaltenders: Ondrej Pavelec (WPG), Cam Ward (CAR)
The Hurricanes, who had scored at least three goals in seven straight games before being shut out at Montreal, will be looking to pick things up again on Thursday. The Jets own the worst penalty kill in the NHL and are 3-7-0 over their last 10 games. Winnipeg has recorded two goals or fewer in each of its last six games and has not scored a power-play tally in that same stretch, going 0-for-13 with the man-advantage. The under is 7-0 in the Jets’ last seven games overall.
New York Islanders at Montreal Canadiens (-142, 5.5)
Probable starting goaltenders: Evgeni Nabokov (NYI), Carey Price (MTL)
Montreal will try to match its longest winning streak (six games) since March 2010 when it hosts the New York Islanders. The Canadiens have outscored their opponents 15-5 since dropping a 6-0 decision at home to Toronto on Feb. 9. The Islanders have been outscored 10-1 in their last two games, losing 7-0 to Philadelphia at home on Monday afternoon and dropping a 3-1 decision at Ottawa on Tuesday. The over is 4-0 in the Islanders’ last 4 games vs. a team with a winning record.
New York Rangers at Ottawa Senators (+116, 5)
Probable starting goaltenders: Henrik Lundqvist (NYR), Craig Anderson (OTT)
The New York Rangers will be without top-line forward Rick Nash, who will miss his second straight game on Thursday. Nash was also a spectator in Tuesday's 3-1 decision setback to Montreal, although he has yet to be ruled out of Saturday's return contest with his undisclosed injury. Ottawa is also dealing with injuries to key cogs Erik Karlsson (Achilles), Jason Spezza (back), and Milan Michalek (knee). The Rangers are 8-2 in the last 10 meetings in Ottawa.
Boston Bruins at Tampa Bay Lightning (+113, 5.5)
Probable starting goaltenders: Tuukka Rask (BOS), Anders Lindback (TB)
Boston had seven players miss practice on Tuesday with flu-like symptoms. But all seven players returned for the team’s Wednesday practice in Tampa and should be able to go Thursday night. The Bruins have lost in regulation only once in seven road games, allowing 15 goals – and just one on the power play. The over is 4-0 in the last four meetings in Tampa Bay.
Columbus Blue Jackets at Detroit Red Wings (-170, 5.5)
Probable starting goaltenders: Sergei Bobrovsky (CBJ), Jimmy Howard (DET)
A home date against the lowly Columbus Blue Jackets on Thursday should provide the Red Wings with a nice opportunity to snap out of their current four-game funk. Detroit has allowed a total of 16 goals over the last four games, including two in overtime. The Blue Jackets have dropped three straight and are sitting at the bottom of the Western Conference. The over is 5-0 in the last five meetings.
Vancouver Canucks at Dallas Stars (+127, 5.5)
Probable starting goaltenders: Cory Schneider (VAN), Christopher Nilstorp (DAL)
The Canucks will attempt to snap their three-game winless streak without Jannik Hansen as the right wing will miss Thursday's road game due to suspension. Cristopher Nilstorp will make his third career start Thursday in place of the injured Kari Lehtonen (groin). The 29-year-old Swede still is searching for his first NHL win as he is 0-2-0 with a 2.70 goals-against average. The over is 3-0-1 in the Stars’ last four games overall. Vancouver has won four of its last five visits to Dallas.
Minnesota Wild at Edmonton Oilers (-116, 5)
Probable starting goaltenders: Niklas Backstrom (MIN), Devan Dubnyk (EDM)
Minnesota has scored three goals in two consecutive games after netting two or less in each of its previous seven contests. The Wild are 4-0-1 in their last six visits to Edmonton. The Oilers are 1-2-2 in their last five home games and have won just two of their last eight overall (2-3-3).

Around the rink: Sunday's NHL betting notes
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Boston Bruins at Florida Panthers (+144, 5.5)
Probable starting goaltenders: Tuukka Rask (BOS), Jacob Markstrom (FLA)
Boston won its second straight game and improved to 6-1-1 on the road with a 4-2 triumph over Tampa Bay on Thursday. Tuukka Rask has won four of five career outings versus Florida while posting two shutouts and registering an ultra-slim 0.97 goals-against average. The Panthers are 0-1-3 during their last four home games - and they weren't too impressive in a 3-1 road loss to Pittsburgh on Friday. The Bruins are 5-0 in their last five Sunday games.
Winnipeg Jets at New Jersey Devils (-158, 5.5)
Probable starting goaltenders: Ondrej Pavelec (WSH), Martin Brodeur (NJ)
New Jersey has won its last five home meetings with Winnipeg dating back to its days as the Atlanta Thrashers. The Devils hardly looked like an elite club in their 5-1 road loss to Washington on Saturday afternoon, but they'll return home where they have collected points in eight of nine games (6-1-2). Special teams are killing Winnipeg as it has failed to score on its last 21 power-play opportunities. The Jets are 1-6 in the last seven meetings.
Vancouver Canucks at Detroit Red Wings (+112, 5.5)
Probable starting goaltenders: Roberto Luongo (VAN), Jonas Gustavsson (DET)
Detroit snapped a five-game winless streak on Saturday, defeating the Nashville Predators 4-0 at home. The Canucks also shut out the Predators as Roberto Luongo stopped 23 shots at Nashville on Friday and are 2-0-1 on their four-game road trip. The under is 4-0-3 in the Red Wings’ last seven Sunday games.
Carolina Hurricanes at New York Islanders (-110, 5.5)
Probable starting goaltenders: Cam Ward (CAR), Kevin Poulin (NYI)
The Hurricanes will face the Islanders at New York on Sunday after posting a 6-4 victory there on Feb. 11. The six goals Carolina scored in that game matched a season high, but the club has struggled offensively in the three games since losing Jeff Skinner to a concussion, getting outscored 12-5. The Islanders are beginning a season-high seven-game homestand, but New York has been less effective at home this season, posting a 2-6-0 record. The over is 5-1 in the last six meetings.
Columbus Blue Jackets at Chicago Blackhawks (-254, 5.5)
Probable starting goaltenders: Steve Mason (CBJ), Corey Crawford (CHI)
Columbus has lost eight straight games in the all-time series between the teams since posting a 4-3 victory in Chicago on Feb. 18, 2011. It now has the daunting task of trying to hand the Blackhawks their first regulation loss of the season. Chicago improved to 14-0-3 after posting a 2-1 victory over the San Jose Sharks on Friday, setting the record for most games without a regulation loss to start a season. Columbus has allowed 37 goals during its losing streak against Chicago while scoring only 15.
Tampa Bay Lightning at Pittsburgh Penguins (-170, 6)
Probable starting goaltenders: Anders Lindback (TB), Marc-Andre Fleury (PIT)
The Pittsburgh Penguins will have to move forward without second-leading scorer Evgeni Malkin for an indefinite period. The reigning Hart Trophy winner experienced concussion-like symptoms after sliding awkwardly into the boards and hitting his head in Friday’s victory over the Florida Panthers. Pittsburgh has won the last three meetings, outscoring Tampa Bay 18-6 in the process.
Phoenix Coyotes at Calgary Flames (-106, 5.5)
Probable starting goaltenders: Mike Smith (PHX), Danny Taylor (CGY)
The Phoenix Coyotes attempt to post their second win over the Calgary Flames in seven days. Phoenix posted a 4-0 home triumph over Calgary on Monday and has taken seven of the last nine meetings between the clubs. The Flames are 2-10 in their last 12 vs. a team with a losing record.
Colorado Avalanche at Anaheim Ducks (-168, 5.5)
Probable starting goaltenders: J.S. Giguere (COL), Viktor Fasth (ANH)
Anaheim hasn't played since extending its winning streak to five games with a 3-2 triumph over Columbus on Monday. Viktor Fasth, who is 9-0-0 with a 1.78 goals-against average, turned aside 31 shots in a 3-0 victory over the Avalanche on Feb. 6. Colorado has scored just one goal in each of its last two contests and the under is 4-0 in the Avalanche’s last four games vs. a team with a winning record.
