How long can we talk about how well Vasily Podkolzin is playing, when he still doesn’t have his first goal through 18 games this season. He has three assists, but playing with Leon Draisaitl for most of his minutes, at some point goals are a requirement.

“He might be the best player in the NHL who hasn’t scored a goal yet,” Knoblauch said. “He’s been doing so many things well: Getting in on the forecheck, creating turnovers. He’s physical, he’s part of our penalty kill. He just has not been able to find the net.

“We’ve had a lot of forwards in that situation — playing well, but not been able to score.”
