Our most handsome captain leads the team in points with 9 (3 goals, 6 assists). Mikael Granlund, Filip Forsberg, Ryan Johansen, and Matt Duchene are also top on the leaderboard...as they ought to be. Guys like Tanner Jeannot and Colton Sissons are contributing, too. This is...exactly what we want to see?
I’d like to see Yakov Trenin and Phil Tomasino pot some more goals on this road trip, and Edmonton’s defense might offer some opportunities for both of these players as they are fans of playing in the “royal road” in front of the goaltender. Eeli Tolvanen should be afforded some power play snipe chances, too.
