#2 Ferland and the penalty box. One of the most impressive things for me this season has been the effectiveness of Ferland on the top line while also staying out of the box. 7 pm on the season so far for Ferland. That's great for how physical he plays. Will it continue?

Yeah, the talking to that he received after the Doughty incident really took the wind out of his sales last year. I really hope the (ridiculous) suspension doesn't do the same thing.
