The Wire Troll: Jaroslav Halak Hoarding Islander Crease

/ Hockey, The Wire Troll

With multi-point efforts in three of his last four games, Pominville is off to a great start in his return to Buffalo, ranking 11th in scoring in the NHL. He enjoyed a nice bounce-back effort last year with 34 assists, but the way things are going early on, he’s on pace to threaten his career-best of 53 helpers set way back in 2007-08. Now a true leader on the young Sabres, he’s getting more minutes, so jump on him while you can as he won’t last long on the wire.

However, that’s not entirely accurate due to the date of this writing, and Crosby is all but guaranteed to put up more points before 2015 arrives. Still, unlike last year, he’s fallen into a bit of a scoring slump, going pointless in 10 of 27 games played this season and five of the last 10. It would be concerning if it wasn’t for the fact that he still has 35 points and a plus-9 rating regardless.

At some point, Crosby has to be accountable for the postseason failures of the Penguins. If your wrist is injured, when do you take yourself out of the lineup or take less of a role? During the regular season, Crosby showed some signs of slowing down a bit (22 points in his last 20 games and a good bit of that was pre-injury). With a new coach and GM, a new system, and a few minor tweaks, Mr. Crosby should still do very well, but we are not convinced he will reach 100 points. It will be close. However, he may end up with more power play points.

This is the case where a pivot could benefit from injuries very quickly. Baertschi has talent that is well documented and just seems to succeed wherever he goes. The question becomes does he wind up on the first or second line? That will make a slight difference as far as his production but honestly little else. Expect Baertschi to put up a nice solid rookie campaign and garner some Calder consideration. A point total is hard to project with him but let’s just say he is going to have opportunities to impress.
