Oh Ondrej Pavelec, we knew it was only a matter of time for you. He got torched for four goals on 29 shots. Only one was really his fault, the late goal by TJ Brodie, which came after Pavelec coughed up a juicy rebound on the doorstep. But juicy rebounds are Pavelec's MO. While some goalies act like a sponge, Pavelec acts more like a trampoline, porous enough to allow stuff to squeak through like a sieve but firm enough that anything that hits it square bounces out. And you know what they say about having a goalie that's like a trampoline…

It doesn't help that the Jets have seemingly no offense this season. Blake Wheeler is pretty much the only guy scoring. He notched an assist yesterday. Wheeler also racked up another four PIM to bring his total to 26 for the season. Who knew he was going to be so valuable in rotisserie setups?

You have to wonder if the Jets are missing Evander Kane. He's kind of a fluff producer of SOG but he does produce them and he scores on a high enough percentage of shots that it's worthwhile. Plus, maybe this is the year he takes another step forward. He gets re-evaluated in a week's time. I'm not optimistic that his knee will be good after that vicious collision knocked him out of the lineup but I am hopeful.

Jonas Hiller put together another solid start stopping 34 of 35 shots. If the Flames can keep playing teams like the Jets and Oilers this goaltending duo might just be worth owning. I'm kidding, of course, Hiller also had a phenomenal outing against the Blackhawks last week and is helping the Flames to be one of the league's feistier teams.

Mason Raymond just keeps on producing and I keep on doubting. He has scored on a quarter of his shots and is only skating on the second line and second power play unit (although the power play lines have been in flux).

It is probably time to accept that Raymond might go off for something approaching his career-high of 53 points. But I don't think he clears it. 60 would be quite the feat for Raymond.

He may set a new career high for goals however. Raymond is on pace to set a career high for SOG with 234 and if he can sustain that pace while scoring at his career average of 10% the rest of the way he'd finish with 28 goals, a new high. That would be something.

After sitting out a contest earlier in the weekend, Johnny Gaudreau came back with a vengeance netting his first two career points, including a power-play marker. He skated 2:51 with the man advantage.

Joe Colborne's hot start continues with now six assists through seven games. Like Raymond, I am not believing in Colborne. Once his linemates' shooting percentages drop to reasonable levels the assists are going to dry up. That doesn't mean Colborne can't be productive. I just think that 40 points is more reasonable than the 70 he is currently on pace for.

Both TJ Brodie and Dennis Wideman scored for Calgary. Perhaps there is room for both of them to eat at this dinner table?

Freddie Andersen continues to light it up. He recorded the first shutout of his career turning aside 28 Blues shots. He also became just the second goalie to win 25 of his first 30 NHL starts. That's a small sample size and a stat that doesn't necessarily reflect Andersen's quality of goaltending so much as the quality of the team he backstops. It does however mean great things for fantasy owners. I don't care if Andersen is the worst technical goaltender in the league so long as he keeps winning games for me.

Some interesting lineup changes to note for the Ducks. Corey Perry, Ryan Getzlaf and Sami Vatanen were joined by William Karlsson and Cam Fowler on the top power play unit. One that continues to click at an impressive rate. The Ducks went two for three on the power play yesterday and have scored on 25% of their opportunities this season. If that keeps up, the league is in trouble because the power play was their lone weakness last season.

I'm not sure that either Karlsson or Fowler will hold down top unit spots though. To me, the unit is still better off with Ryan Kesler in for Karlsson. Fowler might stick but he also lost some minutes to Jakob Silfverberg who managed a power play assist in some brief top unit time.

Fowler, by the way, has assists in four straight games, quietly piecing together some nice fantasy production early. He's the kind of guy who could get you 40 points without much power play time simply because he's a good puck mover playing big minutes on a team that scores a bunch.

Vatanen had a couple of power-play goals. He's going to be a beauty this year.

The Blues have to be mildly concerned about getting shutout by Western powerhouses twice in a row sandwiching a blowout of the Coyotes. We know that the Blues are a good team but if they continue to struggle with scoring against the best in the West then it's going to be the same old disappointment come spring.

And they've got weapons in their lineup so it doesn't make sense that this would continue. They were without two of their top centermen in Paul Stastny (day-to-day with a wrist injury) and Jori Lehtera (out sick) so that explains some of the struggles yesterday.

With those two out it's hard to really assess the line configurations. Two of the hottest Blues, Jaden Schwartz and Vladimir Tarasenko were up on the top power play with Alexander Steen and David Backes. I'd like to see that unit stick together but we shall see.

TJ Oshie's bumbling start to the season continues. He's skating predominantly with David Backes and some combination of Patrik Berglund or Steve Ott on LW. That's not going to be a productive line. Backes and Oshie will be hurting from a fantasy perspective if continued to be separated from Steen or Schwartz. It doesn't help that Oshie has been relegated to the second power play unit as well. At this rate he's looking at 40 points after breaking out for 60.

Sorry about the absence of a Looking Ahead article this week. We are transitioning writers so there have been some logistical issues. We are set with a new writer going forward however.

In lieu of the Looking Ahead piece I'll quickly give you some scheduling thoughts for Week Two of the season.

Tampa Bay goes four times this week, including playing the only game tonight against Edmonton. With Victor Hedman on the shelf there could be value in one of Jason Garrison, Matt Carle or Anton Stralman.

Garrison appears to have the inside track to top power play minutes at the moment but I like Stralman the most.

The Lightning also recalled Jonathan Drouin. I suspect he'll be sheltered early on skating third/fourth line with second unit power play time. So don't expect much right away.

The Rangers have a light schedule this week skating only Tuesday and Saturday. None of their depth players are even looking attractive right now so they are a stay-away.

The Canadiens are playing the same schedule as the Rangers. They have some more attractive depth options but not this week. Hopefully the rest helps Carey Price get things on track as his 3.38 GAA is killing me.

The Ducks are skating their quirky schedule going on a rare Wednesday-Friday-Sunday home-stand that should be very productive. Look for some of their depth players come Wednesday. Guys like Karlsson or Silfverberg might make for really savvy pickups to help squeeze some extra games into your lineup.

Vancouver has a nice four-game week with games on Friday and Sunday, which would play very well for you in a daily-starts league. Linden Vey is the guy I'd be looking at on the waiver wire as he's skating on the top power play unit. Also, give Kevin Bieksa a look as he stole some top power play minutes from Alexander Edler.

Florida has but two games this week. You shouldn't be interested in owning Panthers this year anyhow.

Pittsburgh skates their first back-to-back on Wednesday-Thursday so if you are looking for Thomas Greiss to get his first action. It'll be this week.
