Drury18's Player of the Month for December*: Emile Poirier. With 5G, 3A and 29SOG in December, Poirier was a huge part of the offence for the month of December along with his linemates of Baertschi and Arnold. In the later part of December, these 3 found chemistry that was outright terrifying for the other teams defence and goalies most nights. Poirier was the leader of the team in creating offensive chances and maintaining what seems like an impossible shooting percentage. His speed and skill with the puck are something that you have to see to believe and you have to keep reminding yourself that he only has 31 games of professional experience not some seasoned pro. While I try to temper expectations because of this, it's hard not to be excited about this kid.

Honourable Mentions: Sven Baertschi and Joni Ortio

With his 2G and 7A and 21 SOG in the 10 December games, Baertschi tripled his points from his first 10 games of the season where he only managed 3A and 20 SOG. Baertschi has started to find a little more consistency in his game after being paired with Arnold and Poirier. He's also started playing with a little more physical side to him. It wouldn't surprise me if him and Poirier are both in these spots next month.

Joni Ortio was pretty damn fantastic too this month posting a 1.70 GAA and a .940 SV% with 2 shutouts. He stood tall when they needed him too and made some huge highlight reel saves this month. He's also consistently in the top 5 of minutes played, saves made and wins for the AHL. Unfortunately for him, the Calgary Flames have two healthy and good goaltenders because Ortio has more than proven he deserves a call-up and is currently one of the only goaltenders to have these Top 5 stats and not play a minute in the NHL this season.

(*Just so you don't think anyone more credible picked this. The TSN Playoff Wheel monkey has more street cred then I do for picks)

Reason: I didn't add Ortio's SO in November. He has 3 SO on the season.
