Zach Bogosian (1A, -2, 4 SOG) already had five points in seven games headed in here. Tobias Enstrom (1A, -3, 1 SOG) has points in five of eight since returning to action. Andrew Ladd (1G, -2, 2 PIM, 1:03 PP, 2 SOG) has picked up points in five of eight now.

Trending: Lars Eller (4G, 1A, +4, 0:06 PP, 5 SOG) has points in three of four and quite a game from him tonight. And then some. He even had and scored on a penalty shot in the third period, using the spin-o-rama to do it. Crazy evening. Erik Cole (2A, +1, 2 SOG) had a strong 9-4-13 in 14 GP coming into this affair. Michael Cammalleri (1G, +1, 3 SOG) has scored in three of four and while he still has a place on many fantasy rosters, let's look at his stats over the past few years... he has a ways to go before he be thought of as the point-per-game threat he's been a few times in his career. Health has obviously been one of the factors working against him in recent seasons. David Desharnais (1A, 1:43 PP, 3 SOG) began this evening with eight points in nine outings. Tomas Kaberle (1G, +2, 1 SOG) has points in three in a row and had seven points in 10 games since coming over from the Hurricanes.
