OCPR Defensemen
Defense is probably the most difficult position to properly rank players, because their impact goes well beyond goals, assists and plus/minus, the simple objective statistics.

OCPR Goalies
The OCPR for Goalies takes into account total saves, total goals allowed, as well as saves made and goals allowed on the power play (a goalie is supposed to be your best penalty killer, is he not?).

Early Favorites For Conn Smythe Trophy

Back Checking For Week Of Mar. 3rd

The top stories from this week in hockey…

Night to remember for Iginla: The gritty Flames forward scored two goals and chipped in three assists in an 8-6 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning. With the five points, Iginla passed Theo Fleury as the Flames all-time leading scorer. Iginla now has 834 career points. If that was not enough for the evening, Iginla also scored his 400th career goal.

No signs of rust for Brodeur: After missing 50 games due to injury, Martin Brodeur returned to action this past week and recorded three wins and two shutouts.

One step forward, two steps back: After playing their way back into a playoff position, the Dallas Stars have taken a leap backwards by losing their last five games.

The Anaheim Ducks traded forward Chris Kunitz and Eric Tangradi to the Penguins for defenseman Ryan Whitney. The trade indicates that the Ducks may be looking to send Chris Pronger or Scott Niedermayer packing at the trade deadline. For the Penguins, the addition of Kunitz gives them one more option to produce up front. Whiney was expendable due to his contact and Pittsburgh’s depth at defense.

Who needs Crosby: The Pittsburgh Penguins are 3-0 since their super-star forward was forced to the press box with a groin injury.

More suspensions: Minnesota Wild enforcer Derek Boogaard and New York Islanders Defenseman Brendan Witt each received five-game suspensions for separate incidents this past week.

NHL’s Three Stars for February

1st Star: Ilya Kovalchuk, Atlanta Thrashers: The Russian sniper scored 13 goals and added eight assists in February.

2nd Star: Mike Green, Washington Capitals: The Norris Trophy favorite notched nine goals and 11 assists in the month, upstaging teammate Alexander Ovechkin.

3rd Star: Chris Mason, St. Louis Blues: Mason was 8-2-4 in February. The veteran goalie posted a 1.64 goals-against average and a .939 save percentage. Mason’s stellar play has the Blues within striking distance in the Western Conference.
