NHL NOTEBOOK
There aren't any
changes in the NHL team power ratings
from last week, as the league's top
teams continue their strong play. I
expect to see a shake-up soon though,
as overachieving teams like Montreal
and Carolina will begin to fall back
to the rest of the pack.
Ottawa
Senators (13-2)
Based on a potent offense and a stingy
defense, the Senators retain the top
spot. The Sens don't have the most points
in the league but that's only due to
the fact that they have played the fewest
games. Through 15 games, Ottawa has
outscored its opponents by an average
margin of 5-2. There is little doubt
that they are currently the most powerful
team in the league.
Detroit
Red Wings (15-3-1)
The Red Wings continue to show no signs
of slowing down. Their 31 points is
the most in the entire NHL. However,
critics would argue that Detroit has
faced a relatively easy schedule thus
far. More than half of the Wings' wins
have come vs. St. Louis, Chicago and
Columbus. Those three teams have an
ugly combined record 14-36-3.
Carolina
Hurricanes (12-3-1)
This may be the last time we see Carolina
on this list. The Hurricanes recently
saw their nine-game win streak snapped,
in a big way, losing 9-0 at home to
Atlanta. Over the next five games they
face Ottawa twice, the New York Rangers
twice, and the defending champions (Tampa
Bay) once. I'll be surprised if they
can manage five points in those five
games.
Montreal
Canadiens (12-3-3)
Despite outscoring their opponents by
only six total goals (57-51) the Canadiens
have the most points in the Eastern
Conference. Like Carolina, this may
be the last time we see Montreal on
this list though. Back to back overtime
losses, combined with the recent injury
to high-scoring Alexei Kovalev, could
mark the beginning of a slide for the
Habs.
Philadelphia
Flyers (11-4-1)
The Flyers lost last night to the Lightning.
However, they are still a healthy 7-2-1
their past 10 games. The Flyers boast
a strong and balanced lineup. They are
also beginning to get fairly decent
play in goal from Robert Esche, who
has a record of 8-3 and a respectable
goals-against-average of 3.08.
ROOKIE
REPORT
By now, almost everyone has heard of
Penguins' sensation, Sidney Crosby.
Most hockey fans have also become familiar
with Capitals' star, Alexander Ovechkin.
This week, I felt it was only fair to
include a pair of promising young goalies
to the list. Kings' goalie Jason LaBarbera
and Rangers' goalie Henrik Lundqvist
have gotten off to strong starts and
have both been important factors in
their team's early success.
Sidney Crosby Through
19 games, Crosby has recorded seven
goals and 14 assists.
Alexander Ovechkin
While Crosby has been more of a set-up
man, Ovechkin continues to 'light the
lamp'. Through 18 games, he has 13 goals
and five assists.
Henrik Lundqvist
Through the first 11 games of his NHL
career, Lundqvist has a 7-2-2 record
and leads the league with a sparkling
1.88 goals-against-average.
Jason LaBarbera
LaBarbera is 8-2-1 with a solid 2.44
goals-against-average.
HANDICAPPING
TRENDS
Does it seem like home teams have been
winning the majority of the games this
season? That's because they have been!
After greater than 250 games, home teams
have been cashing at a 60 percent clip.
Totals remain fairly balanced with 'Under'
bettors enjoying a slight advantage.
Away Teams 107-159 (40.23%)
Home Teams 159-107 (59.77%)
Favorites 160-106 (60.15%)
Underdogs 106-160 (39.85%)
Road Favorites 43-42 (50.59%)
Home Favorites 117-64 (64.64%)
Home Dogs 42-43 (49.41%)
Total (Over/Under) Results
All games: Over: 95 (47.5%) Under: 105
(52.5%)
Overtime games: Over 24 (47.06%) Under
27 (52.94%)
