Ottawa Senators Forwards 3rd Quarter Grades, Michalek and Stone Impress
By Jack Leiper
Milan Michalek has risen, the Ottawa Senators are hot. Alex Chiasson continues to be a frustrating forward and so does David Legwand. I have no idea why the Senators would dump Erik Condra, but Jean-Gabriel Pageau has proven to be a full-time NHL player.
We saw a few call-ups this quarter, as Shane Prince and Matt Puempel have both had time in the NHL. As the season end nears and Ottawa makes one last playoff push, here are the evaluations of Ottawa’s 3rd quarter:
3rd quarter Grades:
"MacArthur’s 2nd quarter pace: 24 goals, 46 pointsMacArthur’s current pace: 20 goals, 40 points"
"Mike Hoffman is on Pace for a 30 goal season"
"Zibanejad had no points through 9 games to start the season, he now has 15 goals on the year."
"Milan Michalek had 9 points through his first 33 games, he has 16 in his last 20."
Zack Smith, Chris Neil not ranked due to injuries. Colin Greening not ranked due to time in AHL.
