Andrew Ladd Case Study

If the Rangers pick up two points of any kind in their game against the Detroit Red WIngs (12:30pm), the Islanders would need to win three of their final four points to finish ahead of the Rangers and meet the Penguins.

Before the start of the game Cam Talbot would be named the winner of the Steven McDonald extra effort award, for his play during Henrik Lundqvist’s absence.

After finishing off New Jersey in game five, Tampa Bay awaited a ruling from the NHL league office on the status of the NHL’s third leading point producer. Nikita Kucherov actually left the ice to lay a violent hit on Vatanen, so there was some sense he could be punished with a one game suspension.

After a scoreless first period, Thatcher Demko’s shutout streak looked impenetrable, but fittingly enough, our feature faceoff matchup came to a head when Mackenzie MacEachern raced down the ice and beat Demko to end the streak and tie the game at one. MacEachern’s goal came just 11 seconds after Boston College opened the scoring, on a goal by Colin White (OTT), who would go on to score a second goal to take a 2-1 lead heading into the third period. Ryan Fitzgerald (BOS) and Alex Tuch (MIN) added goals to extend the lead to 4-1, before the Spartans woke up by scoring three straight goals in less than two minutes to tie the game late. Miles Wood (NJ) snapped home the game-winning goal and Fitzgerald added an insurance marker as Boston College defended home ice successfully with a 6-4 win. MacEachern’s goal was his only point of the game, and Demko stopped 33 of 37 shots to improve his record to 9-1-0.

The Minnesota Wild goalie,Devan Dubnyk,had stopped 96 shots before giving up a goal. He was 14th overall draft pick to the Oilers in 2004. He was also part of their 12 game win streak( with the Wild). He also made into the NHL All Star game for the central division with the wild with the Wild defenseman, Ryan Suter. He is also playing very good this season. The Minnesota Wild are ranked 1st in the Central Division. Their record is 37-12-6 record this season. Devan Dubnyk has a 933 save percentage.The Wild lost against the ducks 1-0 on Tuesday.Almost all of the second period they were in the offensive zone getting shots.While in the offensive zone almost everyone got a shot or two.But they could not get one past the ducks goalie. The Ducks scored because the rebound went right out front of the net and a uncovered Ducks player hit it into the open net.That gave the Ducks a 1-0 lead and they kept through the game.The Minnesota Wild are the only team in the NHL that has not replaced a starting goalie.

“We played a great game today and I am glad we were able to pull away with the win.”said Hughson’s Morgan Ehlers

In this week’s Prospect Faceoff, we take a look at Quebec Remparts goaltender Callum Booth, who has been the team’s saving grace during a rough stretch. He will be opposed by a former first-overall pick, Daniel Audette, who has a chip on his shoulder and something to prove. Also in this week’s edition, one underrated forward on North Dakota is garnering attention, as are a pair of draft-eligible skaters who are in weekend competition.

But, let’s not forget, it wasn’t all roses and sunshine. The powerplay struggles continued and cost the Islanders valuable points that could have gotten them into the postseason and they continued to be sloppy defensively, allowing five goals or greater in five of their last 12 losses. There was an ugly performance at home against Nashville and a horrendous first period in Philadelphia.

But McClellan's dunk put the Hurricanes back on top. McClellan scored nine points and Reed hit a deep 3 to start to pull away.

The Panthers again dominated play, especially 5v5, and led New York in shot attempts over 96 minutes of grueling hockey, 96-68, with 48 of those landing on target. And none was more crucial than in the first overtime, when Calvin de Haan closed his hand on the puck just outside the blue paint, leading to a penalty shot opportunity for sniper Aleksander Barkov.

On-ice performance: achieved playoff contention every year since 2003; Ranked third of thirty teams in NHL

Brock Nelson has no goals in 10 games, collecting only 4 assists in that span. Ryan Strome has 3-2-5 in the same 10-game span, but two goals and three points came in one game. In six of his past seven games, he is pointless. Anthony Beauvillier has been a breath of fresh air, working as hard as any forward, but has six goals in 47 games and at 19-years old, now enters unknown conditioning territory. The Islanders are 20th in the NHL in the faceoff circle, at 48.7%, and have allowed some bad goals, even lost a couple of games, recently as a result of not being able to win a big draw.

The sweat was dripping down John’s face as he pushed the weights off his chest. Everyone ran towards their bags after a student said there was a gun in school. Twitter was the first source that everyone checked just to make sure. Boom! The door slammed open as Coach Ben yelled “Hurry up and get out”. John’s heart started beating faster and faster. No one knew what was going on. As students were running to the gym everyone was panicking and pushing each other. John could feel the burn on his elbow but he didn’t know what it was. When everyone got to the gym John’s elbow was covered in blood. Everyone was told to get down and stay quiet. Later on coach told everyone a student brought a gun to school and was planning on committing suicide.

As a child I was always incredibly influenced by the people around me. I distinctly remember several instances where the comments of others have fueled my passions and ambitions for years to come. My likes and dislikes have not always been my own but they are a byproduct of the ways others have been looking at me my whole life. I am not a person decided by my own choices and wishes but a canvas painted on by hundreds of different artists.
