What this means is that the players on the ice at even strength with these guys are shooting at a rate that is unsustainable. Chances are the production will regr- uh, dip. Now, that being said, there need to be exceptions for the exceptional players. For example, playing with Sidney Crosby is going to naturally boost this number. So I’ll give Hornqvist a small pass. He’ll regr- uh, slow down but not by as much as the numbers indicate. I’d also give the Benn/Seguin duo a small pass. They’ll regr- uh, their production won’t be as strong but they’ll still do very well for the simple fact that they’re awesome. Ditto for Getzlaf/Perry. Instead of current paces of over 100 points, I’d instead target something closer to 90

But look at the rest of the list and know that if you own them you should be shopping them.

Here is some information on how the Player Profile pages on DobberHockey will look like, and what you can do to help (if you feel so inclined!).

Alex Stalock is back and ready to go and his timing is impeccable. Antti Niemi has just two wins in his last nine games, with the last win coming Saturday in which he still allowed four goals. Niemi’s save percentage over the last 82 games that he’s played is 0.913. In Stalock’s NHL career he’s played 32 games and sports a 0.930 SV%.

Four games ago Niklas Kronwall had 12 points in 20 games but was in a dreadful slump that had poolies actually considering dumping him. But he has four points in his last four games and is back on track. Never give up on a guy like Kronwall – he’s money in the bank for 45 to 55 points and he’s been so reliable in the health department these past few years.

Wow – Z with the pass. The Wings had Miller all over the place here:

Jakub Kindl has six points in his last eight games. He’s teased us like this once before, and we know he has ability at the AHL level. At 27 it’s doubtful this is anything beyond a temporary blip.

Danny DeKeyser also has six points in his last eight games. Pairings, last three games (via Frozen Pool):

*

Tomas Jurco has seven points in his last seven games and yet still sees limited ice time. That tells me two things – one, that he’s going to be a great player. I love guys who produce with minimal opportunity, they have the best odds of success. And two, this production won’t continue for much longer. You can’t be a point-per-game player when you play 10 minutes a game.

From a fantasy standpoint, Linden Vey has been arguably one of the most disappointing rookies. So Sunday’s three-point game sure helps. And it’s another example of how it’s early in the season and one game is still single-handedly correcting stats. His pace just went from 35 points to 45 in one game.

Tyler Ennis with a real beauty:
