There are two kinds of scoring slumps in the NHL — the kind where you’re not getting any quality chances and the kind where you’re getting chances but not burying them.

Winnipeg Jets centre Bryan Little — who has just one goal in his last 15 games — is definitely in the second category.

Case in point: Tuesday night’s 5-3 Jets loss to the Dallas Stars in which Little had a breakaway, a partial breakaway and too many glorious chances in front of the net to count and yet still came away with zeroes on the scoresheet and a fat minus-three for his efforts.
