The bad part about back to back games is trying to squeeze these in – especially with my new gig requiring a lot of travel. But fortunately it’s a nice lazy Saturday, so let’s see what the chances looked like in Todd Richard’s first home win, eh?
Best E/S Forward: Rick Nash / Vinny Prospal (+4)
Worst E/S Forward: Dane Byers / Derek MacKenzie (-2)
Best E/S D-man: David Savard (+7)
Worst E/S D-man: John Moore (-5)

Oh captains my captains. Both Rick Nash and Shane Doan were major forces on this game. Derick Brassard and Vinny Prospal also clearly benefitted from playing with Nash, while the Ryan Johansen / Antoine Vermette / Tomas Kubalik line was also clearly engaged.

It’s interesting to see Savard and Aaron Johnson’s numbers. All things considered I think this HAS to be a case of line matching and protected starts, but the raw firepower is still pretty impressive.
