Couture says health not a factor in his 10-game streak without a goal for #sjsharks. Pressed, acknowledges everybody's a little bit beat up.
Couture still scored 30 goals for the second consecutive season. Expect the kid to only improve on those totals moving forward.

Leading goal scorer Radim Vrbata will be looking to end a 12-game drought. Vrbata has notched 30 goals this season but none since Feb. 21.
Vrbata is back in the lineup but slumping mightily. Expect him to suit up on the top line alongside Mikkel Boedker and Martin Hanzal.

Briere is goal-less in last 21 games, the longest one-season drought of his career. "I think I'm retiring from scoring goals," he quipped.
Briere has battled through several injuries and struggled to get his timing back. Expect him to be his usual self in the postseason.

#Sabres Cody McCormick hasn't scored a goal in 59 regular-season games.
Furthermore, McCormick has 47 PIM in 37 games which is pretty low for an enforcer. No real reason to roster him in standard leagues.

MacArthur is in the midst of his worst slump as a Leaf, a seven-game skid without a single point. The empty stretch oddly comes right on the heels of a seven-game point streak (three goals, five assists), his longest as a Leaf.
MacArthur is a very streaky forward but likely finishes the season with over 20 goals and around 40 points. His 62-point season of last year looks like his absolutely ceiling while playing a primary scoring role -- something both Phil Kessel and Joffrey Lupul absorbed this season.

Evander Kane is scoreless in 9, his longest drought of the season.
Kane is slumping which is taking a hit on his PP time. His 18 goals still lead the team while his 31 points are one back of Blake Wheeler.

Giroux, an ultra-intense competitor, has one goal in his last 10 games.
Despite only scoring a goal over those 10 game he's still produced six points over that span. Continue to start the team's top-line center with confidence.

Khabibulin's save percentage now at 0.898 since recording his first loss of the season on November 11th. #Oilers
This cold streak underlines the Oilers' poor performance of late. Khabby should be a free agent in shallow leagues and only a spot starter in deep leagues.

COOLING OFF: Left-winger Evander Kane has gone seven games without a goal and has only one tally in his last nine contests.
Kane still leads the Jets in goals with 15 and points with 26.

Center Kyle Turris will be looking to notch his first point since re-signing with the team on Nov. 22. Turris played a season-high 17:31 vs. the Red Wings on Thursday, but he did not register a shot on goal. He has taken six shots on goal this season, but only two in the past four games.
As we predicted, Turris hasn't made any impact in fantasy hockey or in real life. Keep him on the waiver wire for now.

Stefan Elliott might be packing for Lake Erie right now. He played just 8:57, including 3:38 on the power play. I’ve had several conversations with Joe Sacco about Elliott, and the bottom line is, the kid is 20-years-old and in his first pro season, and wherever he is, the Avs want him playing maximum minutes. And logging just 8:57 with the big club isn’t enough.
If you own Elliott, you should probably drop the youngster as he figures to go back to the AHL.

With the Hawks struggling defensively in front of him, Crawford has seen his goals-against average rise to 2.86 and his save percentage drop to .898. The consistency he and the team showed earlier this season has waned with a 6-4-0 mark in the last 10 games.
Crawford has allowed four or more goals in three of his last six games as the Blackhawks hit a rough patch. Look for the sophomore to turn his season around in short order.

John Tavares' goal drought is at 10 games, and that's one of the main reasons why the Islanders have struggled so much.
The former 1st overall pick has registered four assists over that span.
Nov. 27, 2011, 1:01 a.m.
Joakim Lindstrom has gone 15 consecutive games without a goal.
Lindstrom scored his two goals of the season in his first game with the Avs and has not scored since. He figures to play on the third line to start tonight's game.
