    Stat Line Of The Night — 2/21/12 — Jeff Carter

    The 2011-12 season has not been an easy one for Jeff Carter.  After being traded by the Philadelphia Flyers to the Columbus Blue Jackets because of character issues (according to many sources), the 27-year-old center has managed to record just 12 goals and 10 assists in his first 38 games with his new team, while [...]

    Stat Line Of The Night — 2/20/12 — Erik Karlsson

    The monstrous breakout season of Erik Karlsson continued yesterday afternoon on Long Island, as the Ottawa Senators’ defenseman had his biggest offensive output of the season during a matinee game against the New York Islanders. Karlsson entered the game with two three-point performances on the season, but he eclipsed that mark by scoring two goals [...]

    Stat Line Of The Night — 2/16/12 — Claude Giroux

    Through his first 52 games played this season, Philadelphia Flyers forward Claude Giroux had recorded three four-point games, but he just can’t seem to reach that elusive fifth point in a single game.  That changed during game 53 of the season for Giroux, as he finally had himself a five-point game during last night’s contest [...]

    Stat Line Of The Night — 2/15/12 — Josh Smith

    Oftentimes, when one player on a basketball team is doing all of the scoring and rebounding, someone else is recording all of the assists.  And when one player is recording all of the assists and steals, someone else is usually doing the rebounding and blocking.  Well last night during a game against the Phoenix Suns, [...]

    Stat Line Of The Night — 2/14/12 — Jason Spezza & Ilya Kovalchuk

    It isn’t often that I award the “Stat Line of the Night” to multiple individuals, but picking between last night’s performances from Jason Spezza and Ilya Kovalchuk was simply impossible.  Allow me to explain. Both Spezza’s Senators and Kovalchuk’s Devils find themselves battling for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference and both of their [...]

    Entering the 2011-12 NHL season, Joe Pavelski of the San Jose Sharks had never passed the 25 goal mark in any of his previous five seasons in the league.  It is beginning to look like his sixth season could be a charm. Pavelski entered the Sharks’ 54th game of the season with 20 goals and [...]

    After getting out to a sluggish start this season, many believed that the Boston Celtics’ days as a contender in the Eastern Conference were numbered.  The has all changed over the past couple of weeks, as they had put together a run of nine wins in ten games before losing each of their last two [...]

    The Golden State Warriors haven’t been able to find any success when playing in Denver as of late, as they entered last night’s contest having lost in each of their last six trips to the Pepsi Center.  Stephen Curry was on a mission to make sure that streak didn’t reach seven in a row. After [...]

    With the playoff race in the Western Conference heating up as we head down the season’s final stretch, wins have become more important than ever for teams like the Calgary Flames, who currently find themselves on the outside looking in.  Trailing the eighth-place Minnesota Wild by just three points, a win against the San Jose [...]

    If you are a fan of goals, last night’s game between the Philadelphia Flyers and the New York Islanders was not for you. Through 65 minutes of play these two teams combined to score a whopping zero goals.  The Islanders directed 18 shots on the Flyers goal throughout the evening, but they couldn’t manage to [...]

    It has been a rather rough season for the Sacramento Kings thus far, but things have begun to turn around as of late as they entered last night’s game having won their last two straight.  They were looking to make it three wins in a row (their longest winning streak of the season) and they [...]

    Stat Line Of The Night — 2/5/12 — Eli Manning

    Eli Manning didn’t have his best statistical performance of the season during Super Bowl XLVI.  In fact, he may have very well had his worst statistical performance of the post-season during last night’s title game, but it was still good enough to get the job done and help his New York Giants edge out the [...]

    Prior to last night, the Edmonton Oilers’ record for most points in a game was held by two of the greatest players to ever play the game; Paul Coffey and Wayne Gretzky.  Following last night’s game against the Chicago Blackhawks, they now find themselves sharing that record with a somewhat unlikely third member of the [...]

    Stat Line Of The Night — 2/1/12 — Henrik Lundqvist

    Few were probably happier to see the All-Star Game end than New York Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist.  During Sunday’s game he was beaten on three occasions in one period of play, with two of those goals coming off the stick of his teammate, Marian Gaborik.  But with Gaborik back on his team for last night’s [...]
