How to Hockey Skate Like a Pro

Thank you to the players, coaches and parents who submitted their top skating tips in the last couple weeks.

Rhymes, hand signals, games and more all add to the fun while improving skating skills. Read on for a sampling of tips.

Rhyme & Reason

When skating backwards kids have a real tendency to look down at the ice. This inevitably leads to a loss of balance and the player falling. To remind kids to keep their heads up, I’ve learned this little saying that works well:

“Look at your toes, land on your nose!”

The kids recite it and it seems to work.

–Andrew, Coach** **

The ‘Model’ Skate

To emphasize heads-up skating and a proper skating stance with bent knees, along with isolating the legs and thighs for power, I have the kids line up at the goalie line and skate the length of the ice with one of their gloves on their heads! This is very tough to do, but the kids love the challenge and at the same time it is teaching them to keep their head up, knees bent and skate using their lower body. The first person to skate end to end without losing the glove on his or her head wins a pizza! I learned this drill at Heartland Hockey camp from an instructor we call “Hollywood.”

–Jon, Coach

Instant Feedback

Give skaters immediate feedback on the quality of their knee bend while striding. As we all know, developing skaters will occasionally go through spells of skating with their legs far to straight or an exaggerated waist bend. To help correct poor skating posture in a timely manner, coaches and parents can use visual clues for the skater rather than having to stop or slow the skater to a conventional speed.

A hand placed on the head will remind a skater to keep her head level while skating.

Patting the top of the head will clue in the skater that he’s too tall and needs more knee bend.

A hand to the chest will communicate to the skater that he needs to keep a big chest while skating backwards rather than an exaggerated bend at the waist.

Visual clues give immediate feedback to the skater while minimizing down time. There is no stigma attached (like when coaches pull players out of a drill for not doing it correctly) and allows the skater to develop a feel for the correct skating posture as compared to a poor one.

–Brad, Coach

Dryland Matters

I asked my Grandpa, Chuck Grillo, for his best skating advice. The tip is: Ultimately off-ice training is the difference maker. Professional mentors and scouts have known this for years. Once the technique fits your body physiologically, your goal should be to get bigger, quicker, stronger and faster. Technique should be repeated in warm up drills.

This is a simple, but not easy process. Jump, sprint, lift and skate on the same day and you have four different muscle groups, with four different ranges of motion, working and growing together. The end result is a bigger, quicker, stronger, faster skater capable of acquiring all of the agility and mobility skills incorporated in to the drills required for success. This also gives you a psychological advantage on your opponent in life knowing you paid a bigger price to succeed. Injuries sustained during competition heal quicker.

–Monique, Player, Age 11

The Walk-and-Chew-Gum Concept

My son learned early that the most important thing about power skating and hockey is this: To be able to skate with your bottom half and, at the same time, using your upper body to control what happens on the ice. Basically, the walk-and-chew gum concept of hockey. We had to train his bottom half to work differently from his top half. So I had him work with a skating instructor to help him work on this. I see so many hockey players that stop skating when they have the puck, so being able to skate while having the puck increases players enjoyment plus increases goals.

–Jeff, Parent

You Can’t Score If You’re Not on the Ice

I think the most important tip that I learned was that you have to fight through the exhaustion in a game. I learned this from my dad and used this advice in a tournament. There were only two minutes left in the championship game and we were down by one point. We beat the same team the day before, but this day they came back stronger. My line was on the ice. Everyone was exhausted. My team had the puck and was going up the ice. I thought about going to the bench, but then I remembered my dad telling me that even if you’re tired you should fight through the pain. So I skated up the ice with my teammates. One of my teammates passed me the puck, and without having time to think, I scored! The game was tied and we went into overtime. Now, the whole team had energy! A few minutes later, another one of my teammates scored and we won the game! I’m really glad I didn’t take myself out of the game!

–Rachel, Player

**Go For It! **

I learned from my mom and dad to skate hard and extend my stride. It has helped me a lot this year mom, and made me faster and helps when I am trying to outskate someone with the puck and score my team a goal. I told the other kids to try it, too, and it helped us all score lots of goals for the team.

–Wyatt, Age 8

Character Counts

The No. 1 skating tip I learned and taught to my two boys over the years was in Brett Hull’s acceptance speech into the Hockey Hall of Fame: “Have fun playing the game or it isn’t a game anymore. And it doesn’t matter how many goals you score on the ice, it is what you do off the ice that counts.”

–Trent and Tammy, Parents of a PeeWee and Bantam

A ‘Holy Cow’ Moment

I had a “holy cow that’s simple” moment when I was helping with an early bird session for Mites and Squirts. A coach was telling the kids how to do a power turn. He told them to just bend the knee on the side they wanted to turn to and straighten the other leg. It worked for all of them, the first time.

–Steve

**Limbo **

Teach them to do the limbo on ice! Instead of bending over backwards to go under the bar, use the proper stride stance to go under the bar (a pretend bar will do). Then mark it out where they need to do it in a certain number of strides, not too many not too few.

–Kris

Quick Start

My older sister told me that the first three steps make a huge difference in your stop-to-start speed. Those three quick steps can change your game.

–Jenny, Player, Age 13

**Flat Blades **

Keep your blades flat on the ice when performing turns to give better control and maintain your speed. I learned that from Shjon Podein.

–Charlie

Catch an Edge

Analyze and visualize how to get the best use of your edges.

–Mark

Time for.. Sabres Fun(??) Facts! (5/?)

In 1999 Dominik Hasek, arguably the best goaltender in NHL history, dragged an average Sabres team to the Stanley Cup Finals against the Dallas Stars.

It was Game 6, in Buffalo. Dallas led the series 3-2.

The game went to Triple Overtime, a real goalie duel. It was almost 2 AM when Brett Hull scored the Cup-winning goal for Dallas. Only problem- the goal shouldn't have counted.

Hull's skate was clearly in the crease before the puck- which back then, was against the rules. By the time the refs reviewed it, The Cup was already on the ice. The league felt they couldn’t stop the celebration so they came up with a bogus excuse on why it was a legal goal.

If they called it back, would Dallas still win The Cup? Possibly, since the Sabres had to win two games instead of one, but that’s not the point. The game shouldn’t have ended that way, especially for Hasek. There will always be a “What if..” attached to this Finals. To Sabres fans it’s known as No Goal.

..But did you know there was a No Goal 2 the following season? (Oh, Buffalo..)

Once again Hasek dragged them to the playoffs. It was Round 1, Game 2 against the Philadelphia Flyers.

After the Flyers scored on a hard shot, Hasek was in disbelief. He *knew* he had the post covered. Minutes later he discovered a hole in the net. The Flyers player shot through the side of the net..

Even though the replay showed what actually happened, it was too late to overturn the goal. The Flyers won the game and eventually the series.

In 2001 the Sabres traded Hasek to the Detroit Red Wings... and they went on to win The Stanley Cup that season..

#ughh #I'm happy Hasek won the cup but #why couldn't it be with us :(#buffalo sabres #sabresfacts #at least he's still involved in the buffalo community <3

this weeks newsletter is here!! this week the spotlight shines on the underdogs

Weekly Recap:

Last Man In voting has concluded, and the winners are forward Jeff Skinner (Atlantic), forward Gabriel Landeskog (Central), defenceman Kris Letang (Metropolitan), and forward Leon Draisaitl (Pacific).

The IIHF World Junior Championship ended with a 3-2 regulation gold medal victory for Team Finland. Team USA was awarded silver; Team Russia took home bronze.

On Saturday, the Los Angeles Kings hosted “90’s Night,” during which they used glowing pucks. The glowing pucks originally debuted in 1996, but were later discontinued at the end of the 1997-98 season.

The Montreal Canadiens announced on Monday that goalie Carey Price would be opting out of All-Star Weekend. Price is currently recovering from a lower-body injury and the organization felt he should take the time to rest instead. He will be replaced by goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy of the Tampa Bay Lightning.

All-Star Weekend will be hosted by the San Jose Sharks January 25-26. The NHL has partnered with Adidas to produce eco-friendly jerseys made from marine plastic waste materials. The jerseys will feature team logos for the first time.

On Tuesday, Mike McKenna became the seventh goaltender to start for the Philadelphia Flyers this season. McKenna was claimed from waivers last week from the Ottawa Senators, after being previously acquired (by Ottawa) in a trade with the Vancouver Canucks.

The Blue Jackets have issued a statement as to why they opted to sit goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky; Bobrovsky apparently acted in a way that the organization did not agree with that is unrelated to his upcoming free agent status and they will not be saying anymore about the incident. Bobrovsky and the organization have since ‘cleared the air,’ and Bobrovsky may start against the Capitals on Saturday.

Rick Nash will be retiring from professional hockey after 15 seasons. Nash’s agent released a statement on Friday that cited lingering concussion symptoms and post-concussion syndrome as the reason for his sudden departure.

Play of the Week:

On Sunday, forward Jesse Puljujarvi of the Edmonton Oilers beat out goaltender John Gibson of the Anaheim Ducks with an absolutely astounding no-look backhand pass. It was by no means a pretty play, but it was impressive in its execution. The Oilers went on to shutout the Ducks 4-0 in their own arena.

Players to Watch:

Goalie Jonathan Quick of the Los Angeles Kings recently became the 5th American born goalie to tally his 300th career win. Quick has 300 wins and 58 overtime (OT) losses in 576 games played so far in his career. He has started in 30 games this season, winning 7.

Defenceman Robert Bortuzzo of the St. Louis Blues has tallied 1 goal and 5 points in 24 games played this season. He has a career total of 13 goals and 47 points in 300 games played. Bortuzzo recently signed a three-year contract extension with the Blues.

Forward Travis Konecny of the Philadelphia Flyers has 11 goals and 24 points in 44 games played this season. He has a career total of 46 goals and 99 points in 195 games played. He was selected in the first round of the 2015 NHL Draft (24th overall). In his rookie season (2015-16) Konecny was awarded the E.J. McGuire Award of excellence by the NHL; this award goes to the prospect who “best exemplifies the commitment to excellence.” He is the first recipient of this award.

Prospect Watch:

Forward Alexandre Fortin, who went undrafted in 2015, has 2 goals and 5 points in 14 games played this season with the Rockford IceHogs of the American Hockey League; he has 3 goals and 6 points in 24 games played this season with the Chicago Blackhawks of the NHL. Fortin played for the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League from 2014-17, during which he accumulated 52 goals and 135 points in 173 games played.

Defenceman Philippe Myers, who went undrafted in 2015, has 7 goals and 24 points in 36 games played this season with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms of the American Hockey League. Myers played for the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League from 2013-17, during which he accumulated 29 goals and 92 points in 203 games played. Myers was also a part of Team Canada during the 2016-17 World Junior Championship, though he was taken out early due to a concussion; the team went on to place second and bring home silver.

Defenceman Jeremy Lauzon, drafted 52nd overall by the Boston Bruins, has 1 goal and 6 points in 18 games played with the Providence Bruins of the American Hockey League this season; he has 1 goal in 15 games with the Boston Bruins of the NHL. Lauzon played for the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League from 2013-17, during which he accumulated 35 goals and 130 points in 200 games played. Lauzon was also a member of Team Canada during the 2016-17 World Junior Championship; he tallied 2 goals and 1 assist in 7 games played.

Team of the Week:

The Detroit Red Wings, an Original Six team founded in 1926, who are currently 8th overall in the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference and play out of Little Caesars Arena. The team was originally known as the Detroit Cougars form 1926-30; they were the Detroit Falcons from 1930-32. In 1932, they changed their name to the Red Wings. The Red Wings have won the most Stanley Cups (11) of any NHL franchise in the United States, most recently in 2008. The Wings previously played in the historic Joe Louis Arena from 1979-2017. They have the very distinct and recognizable tradition of throwing an octopus on the ice for luck during playoff games. The NHL has yet to successfully prevent this from occurring. Notable alumni include Brett Hull, Steve Yzerman, Ted Lindsay, Sergei Fedorov, Gordie Howe, and Nicklas Lidstrom.

Outside the NHL:

The National Women’s Hockey League All-Star Weekend will take place at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville February 9-10.

The Canadian Women’s Hockey League All-Star Game will take place at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto on January 20.

The American Hockey League All-Star Classic will be hosted by the Springfield Thunderbirds January 27-28.

Weekly Thoughts:

From fistfights between teammates, to frankly dangerous slashes aimed at opposing players, to players yelling at coaching staff during games, to CEOs taking cheap shots at top performers, frustrations are piling up this season. Perhaps after All-Star Weekend teams will be rested and ready to go.

The St. Louis Blues can’t seem to catch a break this season. The Blues are currently 6th in the Central Division of the Western Conference and it’s taken its toll on the team. On December 10, defenceman Robert Bortuzzo and forward Zach Sanford exchanged blows at practice.

On January 11, Florida’s Keith Yandle delivered a horrifying slash to the stick of Calgary’s Sean Monahan, barely missing his arm/hand. Monahan had just released the puck for what became the game winning empty net goal.

On January 9, forward Nathan MacKinnon of the Colorado Avalanche took his frustration out on coach Jared Bednar on the bench. MacKinnon later apologized and Bednar said that it hadn’t bothered him at all.

In December, Dallas Stars CEO Jim Lites had some choice words about the Stars top scorers Tyler Seguin and captain Jamie Benn. Lites called their performance ‘f-cking horsesh-t.’ When asked Benn responded “I don’t play for him. I play for every player in this room, the coaching staff.”

It’s clear that struggling teams are becoming increasingly frustrated as the season continues. Every team wants to compete for the Stanley Cup, but not every team has had the season they hoped for. With the trade deadline fast approaching, we might see some big moves from the teams at the bottom of the league. There have already been some big names appearing in trade rumors this season, and it’s going to be interesting to see how accurate those rumors are. It’s also going to be fun watching teams start to prepare for next year with new acquisitions.

Hopefully these teams will hit their stride and start performing better this season, but if they don’t there’s always next year.

Weekly Vocabulary:

Man-Advantage: When one team is penalized, and one of its players is sent to the penalty box, the second team maintains a man advantage for the duration of the penalty (major penalty) or until a goal is scored (minor penalty). If two penalties are called on one team there will be a two-man advantage. If more than two penalties are called on one team the man advantage is limited to two men. If both teams are penalized, there is no man advantage; it becomes a four-on-four.

Empty Net: When a team pulls their goalie in order to have six skaters (a man advantage).

Extra Attacker: A player who has been substituted for the team's goaltender on the ice.

Too Many Men: When one team has too many men on the ice during a shift change.

Own Goal: The act of a team unintentionally shooting the puck into their own net instead of their opponent's. For statistical purposes, the last player on the opposing team to touch the puck is awarded the goal.

Scrum: When players from both teams are piled up against the boards/goal posts, shoving and hitting at each other.

Delay of Game: Deliberately causing a stoppage of play; player is penalized with a minor penalty.

Coach’s Challenge: If a coach disagrees with a call on ice, he is able to challenge the call. This results in a video review of the play; if the coach was right and the call on ice was wrong, the goal is overturned, if the coach is wrong and the goal stands, that coach loses the ability to call a time-out.

Turnover: When the team in possession of the puck gives it up to the opponent; alternatively, the team who does not control the puck can force a turnover by ‘stealing’ the puck mid pass, or by taking it directly from the opposing player’s stick.

Face-Off: The two teams line up in opposition to each other. One player from each team attempts to gain control of the puck after it is dropped by an official between their sticks onto a face-off spot on the ice. A face-off starts every game and occurs throughout the game after every stoppage of play.

Weekly Trivia:

The Calder Memorial Trophy (not to be confused with Calder Cup of the American Hockey League) is awarded annually to "the player selected as the most proficient in his first year of competition in the National Hockey League." The winner is selected by the Professional Hockey Writers’ Association at the end of the regular season. Players are eligible for the Calder only if they are no more than 26 years old by September 15 of their rookie (first) season. The Calder Memorial is dedicated in memory of former NHL President Frank Calder, who bought a trophy every year to present permanently to the outstanding rookie of the season. The award is now kept in perpetuity. The Toronto Maple Leafs lead all teams with 10 players who have won the Calder.

Weekly Standings:

Metropolitan Division

Washington Capitals -- 58 points

Pittsburgh Penguins -- 56 points

Columbus Blue Jackets -- 53 points

Atlantic Division

Tampa Bay Lightning -- 70 points

Andy Dalton’s last-second chance to be the hero of Buffalo gets a deep rewind

Congratulations Bills fans, it’s your time for a moment in history

I’ve done a Rewinder on the Music City Miracle, one of the greatest walk-off scores in NFL history by the Tennessee Titans against the Buffalo Bills. Another time, I dove into Brett Hull’s triple-overtime goal that won the Stanley Cup for the Dallas Stars over the Buffalo Sabres. There has been a video from our team that may have kinda forgotten that the Sabres exist...

What I’m trying to say is we need to offer our condolences to fans from Buffalo. None of it is intentional, but we are finally trying to make it right. This is for you.

Week 17 of the 2017 NFL season. The Cincinnati Bengals are facing a 4th-and-12 against the Baltimore Ravens. Up three with 52 seconds remaining, if they can get a stop then the Ravens win and head to the playoffs. If the Bengals pick up at least 12 yards, the entire city of Buffalo gets to at least take a breath.

For me, so much of what was going on had been completely wiped from my memory. What happens after the Bengals snap the ball is the only thing my brain hung onto (for very understandable reasons). That’s why we make Rewinder — it’s a chance to watch a moment in sports history as if we’re seeing it for the first time. We can remember the stakes, the individuals, everything that led us up to the point and made whatever comes next matter.

So, go check out the video up at the top, send some love to a Bills fan, and welcome to a moment in history.

Great company: Caps' Ovechkin 4th fastest to score 600 goals

Click here for More Olympics Updates https://www.winterolympian.com/great-company-caps-ovechkin-4th-fastest-to-score-600-goals/

Great company: Caps' Ovechkin 4th fastest to score 600 goals

Make it 600 goals and counting for Alex Ovechkin, and give the Washington Capitals two more points for the tough playoff race in the Eastern Conference.

Ovechkin scored twice in another historic performance and Evgeny Kuznetsov had the overtime winner as the Capitals returned to first place by beating the Winnipeg Jets 3-2 on Monday night.

Alex Ovechkin scored two goals, including the 600th of his career, to help lead the Washington Capitals to a 3-2 win over the Winnipeg Jets on Monday night in D.C. 2:05

The 32-year-old Ovechkin scored during a 5-on-3 power play in the first period and then put back a rebound past Connor Hellebuyck for No. 600 in the second. The Russian winger became the 20th player and fourth-fastest in NHL history to the milestone and is on pace to lead the league in goals for the seventh time with 42 on the season.

“Of course it’s special,” he said. “You can see when I score the goal, everybody tried to find me, everybody tried to look at me. I knew if I’m gonna have another one, I’m gonna score.”

Ovechkin continued a season-long trend of scoring a high volume of goals for the Capitals, who lost significant talent from back-to-back Presidents’ Trophy-winning teams. He has roughly a fifth of Washington’s goals this season and needed to be on his game against Patrik Laine and Winnipeg.

Laine entered with an 11-game point streak and scored his 41st goal of the season to make it 16 in his past 12. Nikolaj Ehlers also scored a 4-on-4 goal for Winnipeg, which got 40 saves from Connor Hellebuyck.

But everyone was left in awe of the great Ovechkin, who could become the first player age 32 or older to lead the NHL in goals since Phil Esposito in 1974-75.

“I’m sure one day we’ll look at it and get perspective on it,” Capitals owner Ted Leonsis said. “But it’s all a part of this process and he’s not fazed by it. He said the other day 40’s good but 50’s nicer and he’s going to get 50 goals. You can just tell he’s very, very determined and he is a historic player.”

Ovechkin joined Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux and Brett Hull as the only players to score 600 in fewer than 1,000 games. He said his wife, Nastya, who just returned from a weeklong trip to Moscow, had a feeling he would accomplish the feat against the Jets.

“Right now parents in Moscow and she makes it,” Ovechkin said. “It’s kind of nice when someone from your family is in the stands.”

What makes 600 goals even sweeter? Scoring it in front of family. <a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/600VI?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw”>#600VI</a> <a href=”https://t.co/f0MYDEkzLb”>pic.twitter.com/f0MYDEkzLb</a>

Ovechkin got two lengthy standing ovations from the crowd that has been dazzled by his accomplishments since he made his debut in 2005. It was of little surprise he delivered in what was a showdown with another fellow 40-goal scorer in Laine, who idolized Ovechkin growing up.

“I was pretty close watching it,” Laine said of Ovechkin’s goal 3:53 into the second period. “I was in a good spot — just behind him. I was there when he made history, so I can maybe watch that someday and show that I was there getting the minus on the ice.”

Patrik Laine (<a href=”https://twitter.com/NHLJets?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw”>@NHLJets</a>) scored his 77th career goal before celebrating his 20th birthday, surpassing Wayne Gretzky (76) and Brian Bellows (76) on the NHL’s all-time list. <a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/NHLStats?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw”>#NHLStats</a> <a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/WPGvsWSH?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw”>#WPGvsWSH</a> <a href=”https://t.co/ctsqJUPJhu”>pic.twitter.com/ctsqJUPJhu</a>

Kuznetsov got his 21st of the season on a breakaway 4:11 into overtime. He joked that Ovechkin scoring 600 was “a free meal” for him and was thrilled to put a positive capper on the night for Washington.

“I feel like my legs were 15 years old,” Kuznetsov said. “I don’t have a good overtime the last 10 games probably. I just wanted to score that because I know that one point will make a huge difference at the end of the year.”

College Iron On Transfers 1-1 at 5:33 of the next period

Igor Larionov ended an unforgettable first Stanley Cup Final full color iron on transfers game in Carolina when he scored at 14:47 of the third overtime to provide the Red Wings the win in the third-longest video game in Final history. The veteran forward gathered a loose puck just inside the Hurricanes blue series and skated around a sprawling Bates Battaglia before cutting over the slot and beating goalie Arturs Irbe (50 saves), who was simply screened by Crimson Wings defenseman Mathieu Dandenault, with a backhand shot for his second goal of the overall game.

The Hurricanes held a lead late in the 3rd period with an opportunity to just do it 2-1 in the best-of-7 series, but Red Wings forward Brett Hull scored on a redirection of a go from defenseman Nicklas Lidstrom near the top of the crease to tie it 2-2 with 1:14 remaining in regulation. Josef Vasicek gave the Hurricanes a 1-0 custom jersey lettering lead at 14:49 of the 1st period before Larionov tied it College Iron On Transfers 1-1 at 5:33 of the next period carrying out a turnover by Carolina behind its net.

Jeff O'Neill then place Carolina ahead 2-1 when he defeat Dominik Hasek (41 helps you to save) in 7:34 of the third period, but a lot more than two hours after Hull tied it past due in the 3rd period, Larionov scored his initial, and only, overtime objective in 150 Stanley Cup Playoff games. Detroit would continue to win another two video games by a combined rating of 6-1 to win the Stanley Glass for the third amount of time in six seasons.

Brett Hull’s controversial Stanley Cup-winning goal deserves a deep rewind

Yes, he was in the crease. Yes, the NHL disallowed similar goals. Yes, it was a good goal.

In game six of the 1999 Stanley Cup Finals, the Buffalo Sabres hosted the Dallas Stars. No one was aware how long of a night they were in for, or how controversial the finish would be. Both sides were seeking their franchise’s first Stanley Cup. Both sides had one of the league’s best goaltenders in their net. But only one side had Brett Hull.

He was the final piece in a massive makeover the Stars had gone through since their arrival in Dallas a few seasons earlier. Along with Mike Modano, Jere Lehtinen, and Joe Nieuwendyk, Hull was in good company when it came to scoring goals. But tonight, and this whole series, it was tougher sledding thanks to Dominik Hasek. That isn’t to say it was all smooth sailing for the Dominator; Hasek just wouldn’t be rattled regardless of the weapons he faced. Outside of game two, he was giving up less than two goals per game. The trouble was his offense faced just as tough of a test when trying to get pucks past Belfour.

So in triple-overtime, still tied at 1-1, Hull gave us a moment in history that is still held onto by both franchises - just for polar opposite reasons.

Ramblings: Crawford Up, Leafs’ Goaltending Down, Kane Returns (March 17)

I recommended a couple of Penguins for the weekend’s games, but they ran into a hot goalie on Saturday. Jordan Binnington stopped 40 of 41 shots in the Blues’ 5-1 win over Pittsburgh in a Saturday matinee game. Binnington’s remarkable season continues with a 17-4-1 record, a 1.77 GAA and .931 SV%.

I’ve heard some debate that Binnington could theoretically eclipse Elias Pettersson in the Calder race should he continue to dominate. But I’m going to use the McDavid argument as to why he shouldn’t. Binnington didn’t play his first game of the season until mid-December, and he wasn’t the Blues’ starter until early January.

There’s little doubt McDavid would have won the Calder in 2015-16 had he not missed nearly half the season due to injury (48 points in 45 games). Yet he finished third in the voting that season behind Artemi Panarin and Shayne Gostisbehere. Sure, Pettersson has fallen back to earth recently (just one goal in last 12 games). Yet he’s still 19 points ahead of the second-leading rookie point scorer (Andreas Johnsson) in spite of missing 11 games with various injuries.

Binnington is much better than expected, but I’d still like to see what he can do over a full season from October to April.

Vince Dunn scored twice for the Blues in their victory, which were goals number 10 and 11 from him. Binnington is receiving a ton of the credit for the Blues’ turnaround, but we should also give props to the defense. The Blues currently have three defensemen with double-digit goal totals: Alex Pietrangelo (12), Dunn (11), and Colton Parayko (10). As of Saturday afternoon, no other team had more than two. As well, the Blues lead the NHL with 44 goals from defensemen. In just his second NHL season, Dunn has been quietly productive, reaching the 30-point mark in 67 games.

Dylan Larkin returned to the Wings’ lineup on Saturday after missing the past five games with a strained neck. He was held without a point in nearly 22 minutes of icetime.

Andreas Athanasiou scored both Wings’ goals on six shots on goal in their 2-1 win over the Islanders. The speedy Athanasiou now has 26 goals on the season, just one behind Larkin for the team lead.

Jonathan Bernier stopped 41 of 42 shots to earn the win for the Wings. You couldn’t be blamed if you missed out, as the win was Bernier’s first in over a month (since February 2) and his second in nearly three months (since December 20).

Jonathan Huberdeau and Evgenii Dadonov came through for both the Panthers and their fantasy owners. Huberdeau scored the game-winner with just under two minutes in regulation and added an assist in the Panthers’ 4-3 win over Los Angeles. Dadonov assisted on the game-winner and scored two goals of his own. Both Huberdeau and Dadonov fall under the category of hot at the moment: Huberdeau with 11 points in his last five games, and Dadonov with eight points over his last five games. Aleksander Barkov, who recorded three assists in this game, has 13 points over his last five games.

If you took my advice on Sam Montembeault and picked up a win, you’re welcome. The rookie goalie now has four consecutive wins.

Ilya Kovalchuk was a healthy scratch for Saturday’s game. Kovalchuk has been held without a point in five consecutive games, and he has only recorded points in one of his last ten games. Hopefully you’re not relying on him (like someone in one of my leagues says he has!)

If you’ve been patient with Corey Crawford all season, you’ve been handsomely rewarded this month. With a 48-save shutout against Montreal on Saturday, Crawford has now won five consecutive games while allowing just seven goals over that span. Patience hasn’t just meant finding a way to keep him on your roster through yet another concussion, but also some poor play (4.30 GAA and .897 SV% in 11 games during the second quarter). Now he’s clearly found his game and should be starting in all formats.

Brendan Perlini is another Blackhawk who is cruising after some tough times earlier this season. Perlini recorded just four points (3g-1a) in his first 29 games with the Blackhawks after being traded from Arizona. Since then, Perlini has been red hot with eight goals and ten points over his last seven games, including another goal on Saturday. It helps that Perlini has recently been matched up with Alex DeBrincat and Dylan Strome, both of whom have been scoring at about a point per game as Blackhawks.

I’ll agree with Adam in his most recent Looking Ahead: Don’t be afraid to drop Jonathan Drouin if you’ve been debating the idea. Drouin was held without a point again on Saturday, which means that he has been held without a point in his last eight games and 15 of his last 16 games. He did record four assists in that one game, and he had recorded nine points in the three games prior to the deep freeze. However, we are now in the thick of the “what have you done for me lately” portion of the season.

In four games this week, the Leafs have allowed 23 goals. This time it was Garret Sparks between the pipes, allowing six goals on 44 shots. Frederik Andersen is in absolutely no danger of losing his starting job to Sparks given the way Sparks has played all season, even though Andersen could clearly use some rest before the playoffs. The fact that the Leafs are missing both Jake Gardiner and Travis Dermott seems to be killing them at the moment, although there were still clearly issues with them in the lineup. Although the overall matchups aren’t super difficult next week (@NSH, @BUF, vs. NYR), I’d still be a little more worried than normal about starting Andersen next week.

This image sums up the Leafs’ situation right now:

Ryan Donato scored two goals on six shots on goal in the Wild’s 5-2 win over the Rangers. Donato has 11 points (4g-7a) in 12 games with the Wild, which exceeds the nine points in 34 games with the Bruins before the trade. Clearly the trade has helped his fantasy value, which we told you it would (although maybe we didn’t think it would help it that much right off the bat). Donato is featured in this week’s The Journey article as one of Dobber’s fastest rising prospects.

This has happened to all of you, I’m sure: As soon as you drop a player, he goes off with a huge game. That player for me was Alex Killorn, who I dropped shortly after I finished writing the Saturday Ramblings (on Friday night). Killorn scored three goals on six shots on goal in the Lightning’s 6-3 win over the Capitals in a rematch of last season’s Eastern Conference Final (and a potential ECF this season). Why did I drop Killorn? Well, he wasn’t skating with the Lightning’s big guns, which is what I was hoping for when I added him. In addition, he’d been fairly cold with no goals and just three assists in his last ten games. Plus, I needed to drop someone to add Roope Hintz because… I wanted someone who could score goals.

Alex Ovechkin scored two more goals, his 47th and 48th of the season. If he reaches 50 goals, it will be the eighth time in his illustrious career. It might be a reach for him to surpass Wayne Gretzky’s all-time record of 894 goals (Ovechkin currently has 655). Yet here’s one record that he could break by the time his career is all said and done.

Alex Ovechkin has scored his 246th career power-play goal, tying Phil Esposito for 5th-most in NHL history. #ALLCAPS

I’m sure someone out there dumped Alex Galchenyuk this week because this isn’t the time of year to wait for a player to come around. In spite of the Coyotes’ recent solid play, Galchenyuk had been held without a point in his previous seven games. Yet there he was on Saturday, scoring both Coyotes’ goals on six shots on goal in a 3-2 overtime loss to Edmonton. Although Galchenyuk has had a somewhat underwhelming first season in the desert, he leads the Coyotes with 20 power-play points. Now that he’s broken the slump, he appears safe to deploy again next week.

In the Oilers’ win, Connor McDavid scored two goals, including the overtime winner, and added an assist. McDavid now has multiple points in each of his last seven games, as well as an 11-game point streak.

Evander Kane returned to the Sharks’ lineup on Saturday, which was his first game since February 26 and since announcing that his unborn daughter passed away. He was held without a point while on a line with Tomas Hertl and Gustav Nyquist, which was originally projected when Nyquist was acquired from the Red Wings at the deadline. Great to hear that he’s back, and all the best to him going forward.

Kane has been extremely valuable in multicat leagues this season. Here are some comparable players in a league that counts G, A, +/-, PIM, PPP, and SOG. Kane currently leads the NHL with 149 PIM and also has the highest shot total of the group, which ascends him to this group in spite of lower point totals.

Viktor Arvidsson scored two goals, which were goals 30 and 31 for him, in the Predators’ 4-2 win in San Jose. Since Arvidsson has played just 49 games this season, only Alex Ovechkin has a higher goals per games played total (0.68) than Arvidsson (0.63). Arvidsson has a 19 percent shooting accuracy at the moment, which is higher than his career average of about 12 percent. However, his 5-on-5 shooting percentage is a more normal 9.44%. So we should continue to expect plenty of goals from Arvidsson going forward, as he has averaged around 30 the last three seasons. However, his assist total (just 11 this season) is a bit concerning as far as his overall point total is concerned.

By the way, goals per game isn’t in the Frozen Tools (at least I couldn’t find it there). But you can download the stats into your own Excel spreadsheet, then perform the calculations yourself if you’re so inclined. One more great feature with the Frozen Tools.

Finally, don’t forget to download your Playoff Draft List!
