Thoughts on Boychuk, Koivu, McDavid, Ben Bishop, Antti Niemi, and more …
***
Back-to-back shutouts for Jaroslav Halak and two goals allowed over the course of three wins. His numbers have almost gone through the full market correction.

Johnny Boychuk came roaring out of the gates with his new team with six points in three games. But he has just four in 11 since then. However, I like his shot total and I think Capuano will come around to the fact that Boychuk is the better option to Visnovsky for the PP. Visnovsky has cannibalized some of Johnny’s PP time since returning from his back injury. But last night Boychuk was out there quite a bit on the power play (5:45) again and picked up a point. You may start to see a shift back to his getting points again.

The Winnipeg Jets are doing pretty well. In the standings. But they’re not scoring goals. The Wheeler – Little – Ladd trio have reasonable points, as well as Enstrom. But the team has clearly changing things to better implement a defensive system. That’s great for Ondrej Pavelec owners (where were you last year Pavelec when I predicted big things??), but terrible for owners of any Jets skaters. Scheifele was looking like a strong 60-plus candidate, Evander Kane and Dustin Byfuglien should be up there as well. Frolik and newly-added Perreault should be 45-point players this year with some of us hoping for 50. Jacob Trouba was supposed to take the next step. But it’s not in the cards. In fact, the trio that leads this team is on pace for about 55 points.
Speaking of Byfuglien, he had seven shots on goal and seven hits last night against the Habs. So at least he’s helping in other categories…

Prospect news – the big one. Connor McDavid injured his hand in a fight last night and could be out for several weeks. Details are sketchy at this point, but Team Canada’s WJC squad is awaiting information anxiously. Here is the fight:
