Completely happy Wednesday, Razzball trustworthy!
It was an evening to recollect for the Sabres and their franchise defenseman on Tuesday evening.
Rasmus Dahlin scored one within the first, one within the second, after which completed off the hat trick with an empty-netter within the third. The three objectives and a pair of assists had been a profession excessive single-game output for the 25-year-old Swede, and introduced his level whole as much as a strong 42 PTS in 48 GP.
It wasn’t all Dahlin, although, as the remainder of the Sabres introduced their scoring sticks with them on their journey North of the border. Tage Thompson (1G, 1 A), Alex Tuch, Jack Quinn, and newly prolonged Josh Doan all tickled the twine for the Sabres, and helped to increase their latest win streak to 4 video games.
Ukko-Pekka Lukkonen – Lukkonen let in two objectives on 5 pictures and was pulled midway via the primary interval with a “decrease physique” damage. The one excellent news right here is that it’d reply these pesky Buffalo goalie questions if he’s out for some time.
Colten Ellis – 16 saves on 18 pictures and the sixth win of the 12 months for Buffalo’s second-favorite Ellis (behind Matt). Enjoyable truth: This man was born in “Whycocomagh”, Nova Scotia. When requested the query, “Why cocoa magazine?” The plain reply is: “Why not?”
Mattias Samuelsson – 3 A (23), +2, 4 H, 2 BLK. Don’t look now, fam, however Matty Sams has a bit of point-streak of his personal. That’s 7 factors in his final 4 video games.
Joseph Woll – 24 saves on 30 pictures within the 7-4 loss to BUF. This one was at residence, and I assume the boo-birds had been out, regardless of a 3-3 tie midway via the 2nd interval. The excellent news for Woll is that at the very least he didn’t enable that seventh purpose (EN).
Auston Matthews – 1 G (26), 2 A (19), 3 SOG, 1 H, 1 BLK, 14-for-17 FOW! Matthews snapped a 3-game streak with zero factors. Max Domi had 1 G and a pair of A as properly.
Jeremy Swayman – 28 saves on 30 pictures within the 3-2 OT win vs NSH. The Bruins tried to throw this one away after main 2-0 heading into the third, however an OT magnificence salvaged two factors, and the B’s received their eighth straight residence recreation.
Morgan Geekie – 1 G (30), 2 SOG, 1 H, and 19:10 TOI. Uh oh. Marco Sturm lastly moved Geeks again as much as the primary line with Pastrnak (and Lindholm), and the outcomes had been virtually quick. The purpose scoring, scorching scorching Geekie is again. He has objectives in 4 of his final 5 video games and seven factors in that span.
David Pastrnak – 1 G (22), 1 A (47), +2, 2 PIM, 7 SOG, GWG, 3 H. The Czech famous person now has 20 factors in his final 10 video games.
Juuse Saros – 25 saves on 28 pictures in a troublesome 3-2 OT loss. PJ Inventory stated it on NESN within the post-game present. The Bruins moved the puck in time beyond regulation just like the Harlem Globetrotters doing the 3-man weave. Simply easy and exact. Poor Juuse didn’t actually have an opportunity.
Roman Josi – 1 G (9), -2, 2 SOG, 1 PPG, 1 H, 1 BLK, and 29:59 TOI. The excellent news is Josi is unlikely to be moved earlier than the commerce deadline, as he’s the lifeblood of that Predators membership. The unhealthy information is he won’t acknowledge loads of guys within the dressing room the day after March sixth.
Anton Forsberg – 27 saves on 28 pictures and the 3-1 win at DET. Again-to-back wins with one GA.
Corey Perry – 1 G (11), +1, 2 SOG, 1 H. This man would qualify for a ‘Memberberries reference, however I did keep in mind that he was nonetheless taking part in. 5 recreation level streak and 11 factors in his final 10 video games. I’m wondering which playoff workforce he’ll curse…er, get traded to on the deadline.
John Gibson – 19 saves on 21 pictures and a troublesome 3-1 loss to LA. This one snapped an 8-game win streak for Gibson. It appears like he’s 40 years previous, however in his thirteenth season, he’s nonetheless simply 32 years previous.
Alex DeBrincat – 1 G (28), 7 SOG, in 19:59 TOI. Meow. The little cat is High 5 within the NHl in SOG (196).
Moritz Seider – 1 A (29), 3 SOG, 3 H, 4 BLK, and 26:41 TOI. The purpose whole wasn’t thrilling, however I needed to focus on the hits and blocks for these of you in leagues with prolonged classes. He’s an excellent larger beast in these codecs.
Akira Schmid – 23 saves on 26 pictures and the 3-2 OT loss in MTL. Schmid was 15-5-4 coming into final evening’s recreation. A stellar goalie, certain, however I guess you don’t learn about his different job. Within the offseason, Akira makes some further money on the aspect by throwing kicks at Ryu and Ken. (Don’t even ask me what occurs in Spherical 2 right here. The final considered one of these I performed was Avenue Fighter 3, shut to a few many years in the past.)
Pavel Dorofeyev – 2 G (24), +2, 8 SOG. What? Does this man assume he’s Alex DeBrincat or Nathan MacKinnon?
Jakub Dobes – 32 saves on 34 pictures and the 3-2 OT win. That’s 4 straight wins, and nil regulation losses in his final 7 GS.
Cole Caufield – 1 G (30), +1, 2 PIM, 5 SOG. That’ll make it a cool half-dozen recreation purpose streak for the red-hot Caufield. He has 12 factors in his final 8 GP.
Vitek Vanecek – 25 saves on 28 pictures and the 4-3 win at FLA. Vitek’s first win in his final 10 begins. Ouch. However the information isn’t all unhealthy! Utah is sitting 3 factors forward of LA for the primary Wild Card spot within the West!
Nick Schmaltz – 1 G (19), +2, 2 PIM, 1 SOG, 1 SHG. Schmaltz is a UFA after the season, however so long as the Mammoth are in a playoff spot, don’t anticipate to listen to this man’s title in any commerce talks.
Sean Durzi – 1 G (4), 1 A (13), +1, 2 SOG, 1 BLK. Nicely? Make up your thoughts. Durzi or Durzent he? (I’m sorry).
Sergei Bobrovsky – 16 saves on 19 pictures and the 4-3 loss to UTA. You’re off the case, Bobrovsky!
Carter Verhaeghe – 1 G (16), 4 SOG, 19:53 TOI. 41 factors in 51 video games.
Brad Marchand – 1 A (25), -2, 2 SOG, 18:49 TOI. 50 factors in 44 video games. A lot for the individuals who assumed he was completed.
Connor Hellebuyck – 26 saves on 29 pictures within the 4-3 win at NJ. This was his first win in 5 begins. Winnipeg must proper the ship sooner moderately than later, or it’ll be time to JETtison a bunch of gamers on the commerce deadline.
Mark Scheifele – 1 G (26), 1 A (37), +1, 4 SOG, 2 BLK, 20:35 TOI. You assume somebody is a bit crusty about being left off the Olympic roster? 63 factors in 52 video games and pacing himself for a profession 12 months in factors.
Gabe Vilardi – 1 G (20), 1 A (26), +2, 2 SOG, and 18:48 TOI. Vilardi snapped a 4-game pointless streak with this one.
Jake Allen – 22 saves on 26 pictures and the loss. He’s received simply two of his final 8 GS. Jersey is beginning to choose aside its roster and shifting gamers out. The query isn’t “Will Dougie Hamilton get traded?” It’s When and The place?”
Ondrej Palat – TRADED to NYI for Maxim Tsyplakov. The Islanders one way or the other get a 3rd and a sixth-rounder again, too (2026 and 2027, respectively). I assume the picks are added in as a result of NYI agreed to pay all of Palat’s $6 million contract.
Jesper Bratt – 1G (12), 1 A (27), 2 SOG, 1 H. 3 factors in his final 7 video games and a finalist for the not-so-coveted “Largest disappointment of the 12 months” award.
Jack Hughes – 2 A (24), -1, 7 SOG, 1 H, 25:14 TOI. Two assists and 7 pictures? Yikes. 12 factors within the final 10 video games for Hughes. He’s properly on his manner again to elite standing. Simply don’t let him minimize his personal steak.
Spencer Knight – 20 saves on 23 pictures and the 4-3 OT loss at MIN. 15-14-3-4 (I hate these further numbers). The file doesn’t match the ratios. The two.59 GAA and .910 SV% are stable.
Connor Bedard – 1 A (29), -1, 8 SOG, 2 H, 23:20 TOI. He has one purpose in his final 10 video games. Um…somebody inform the child to shoot on the web behind the goalie.
Jesper Wallstedt – 29 saves on 32 pictures and the 4-3 OT win. Wallstedt broke a private three-game dropping streak during which he allowed 15 GA. It’s a pleasant bounce-back for the younger rookie.
Joel Eriksson Ek – 1 G (13), 1 A (22), +2, 2 SOG, 1 H, 1 BLK, 18:40 TOI, 12-for-29 FOW.
Jake Oettinger – 23 saves on 26 pictures and the 4-3 win at STL. USA USA USA!
Matt Duchene – 2 G (7), +1, 2 PIM, 3 SOG, 13:32 TOI. Bear in mind when this man was a High 3 choose and destined for greatness? 14 factors in 28 video games.
Thomas Harley – 1 G (3), 1 A (17), 2 SOG, 1 H, 3 BLK, 22:11 TOI. Good to see some indicators of life from the 5-year-vet.
Jason Robertson – 2 A (32), -1, 2 SOG, 2 PPA, 1 H, 19:29 TOI. This man is the American model of Mark Scheifele. Each guys ought to be headed to the Olympics, and I nonetheless assume they’re the ‘subsequent man up’ if anybody will get harm or bails.
Jordan Binnington – 20 saves on 24 pictures and the loss to DAL. CANADA CANADA CANADA! However hopefully this man isn’t their starter in two weeks. I’m absolutely in on Workforce Logan Thompson.
Brayden Schenn – 2 G (12), +2, 4 SOG, 6 H, 1 BLK, 18:05 TOI, and 9-for-17 FOW. If the Blues make this man accessible on the deadline, they will anticipate fairly just a few calls.
Jimmy Snuggerud – 2 A (11), +3, 2 SOG, 4 H, 20:32 TOI. The 18 factors in 40 GP aren’t all that spectacular, however let’s minimize the child some slack. He’s again up within the High 6 and filling in for Robert Thomas (decrease physique). Hopefully, he can put up some factors with the rise in ice time.
Yaroslav Askarov – 14 saves on 15 pictures (via two durations). He’d given up 12 objectives in three straight losses earlier than Tuesday evening’s recreation. The Sharks had been headed into the dressing room earlier than the third interval with a 4-1 lead.
Macklin Celebrini – 1 G (27), 2 A (50), +2, 2 PIM, 4 SOG, 1 H, 1 BLK in TWO PERIODS. This one isn’t even completed but, and the child is simply filling the scoresheet. 77 factors in 51 video games and the youngest participant to ever win the Hobey Baker award is ensuring individuals by no means doubt the Sharks’ first total choice from 2024.
Will Smith – 1 G (15), 1 A (20), +1, 1 SOG, 1 H. Throwing baseballs, hitting baseballs, smacking Chris Rock within the mouth, and scoring objectives for the Sharks. Is there something Will Smith can’t do?
Kevin Lankinen – 3 saves on 6 pictures and the early hook. Even worse was the information earlier tonight that Thatcher Demko will endure hip surgical procedure and be carried out for the rest of the season. Insult to damage – actually – proper there.
Nikita Tolopilo – 19 saves on 20 pictures heading into the third interval. Fairly stable if you will get previous the truth that this man’s title seems to be like he’s a man the pc generated in your NHL26 franchise draft.
Logan Thompson – 18 saves on 21 pictures and down 3-0 heading to the room for the second intermission. CANADA! Okay, we don’t must chant it out once more. Ovechkin has one shot, too. A lot for my 3-point problem choose!
Philipp Grubauer – 11 saves on 11 pictures after two durations. If it holds up, it’ll be Grubauer’s eleventh win of the 12 months and his first shutout of the season.
Jared McCann – 2 G (14), 1 A (11), +2, 4 SOG, 1 PPG. I don’t wish to admit what number of occasions I mistype this man’s title as “James McCann”. In different associated information, baseball is again!
Jordan Eberle – 1 G (19), 1 A (17), and 5 factors in his final 3 video games. Seattle is within the playoff hunt and is simply 2 factors again of a wildcard spot. In the event that they falter, there are numerous good items to ship out of city and consumers who will line as much as bid for them.
That’s all for this week! I hope you loved it. In case you have any questions or feedback, go away them beneath, and I’ll get again to you ASAP.
Completely happy Wednesday, and I’ll see you subsequent week!
