This week, we are going to take a quick look at skaters who are on pace to reach 100 hits AND 100 blocks, which I term the 100/100 Club. In 2024-25, 38 skaters accomplished this feat, with only two of them being forwards (Noel Acciari, 180 hits/100 blocks and Brandon Tanev, 168/105). Blocks are the [...]

Tampa Bay had this game exactly where they wanted it. Up 4–1 cruising to a win.
