Not as bad as I assumed. Chris kelly out means talbot recalled from ahl. He puts up good numbers when in th lineup.

Now I just need edm goalie injuries and edm defense injuries.

[Lee]

mcdavid out months

[Matthew]

This definitely opens up the rookie of the year race.

[Tony]

Domi for Calder

[The BBKL Insider]

not that anyone else cares (but me), but it appears that Sprong made the Pens.

[Tony]

You're right. I don't care.

[Nick]

Domi for Calder

Bennett, Larkin & Ehlers also looking awesome.


Eichel & Nurse with some good and bad early in the season too.

[Bruyns]

Panarin with 11 in 12 games and Parayko tied with Bennett with 7 points while playing D, deserve to be mentioned too

[thom54]

Brian O'Neill playing 11 games and moving up from the 4th line deserves mention too (joking)

[Nick]

Panarin with 11 in 12 games and Parayko tied with Bennett with 7 points while playing D, deserve to be mentioned too

Parayko performed way way above expectations that I agree, I just don't see it continuing.


Panarin looks killer but also plays with even better players. Domi, Ehlers, Bennett, etc are all the guys driving their points/play/line. IMO thats key.

[Bruyns]

Bennett doesn't belong with Domi and Ehlers when it comes to driving points/play/line. I think quite a few rookies are ahead of Bennett, but it's still early in the season.

[Shoalzie]

Bennett has had a bit of surge with Gaudreau now on his line. 6 points in his last 4 games. He's trending in the right direction after a weak start.

[CAM]

Pastrnak has a broken foot and Seidenberg is close to returning. Koko gets his first chance at an extended callup.

[Lee]

Not sure who has him but.......Chris Kelly will be out 6 to 8 months with a fractured femur.

Frankie Vatrano, come on down

Vatrano was recalled from AHL Providence on Friday.
Analysis: After lighting up the AHL, scoring 10 goals and 12 points in 10 games, Vatrano has earned himself a opportunity in Boston. Vatrano will likely play on a line with Loui Eriksson and David Krejci, as the man who usually occupies that spot, David Pastrnak, will miss at least the next two games with a foot injury. Vatrano will get his chances playing with Eriksson and Krejci, creative players who have combined for 26 points this season.
