A lot of positives for the Heat (obviously), but one thing that might be a bit concerning is Corban Knight is now pointless in 5 straight games.
He had 18 points in 22 games, now has 18 in 27 and has dropped from 2nd in Heat scoring, to 6th.
Hopefully just a bit of a lull.
While he's dropped off a bit offensively, this isn't entirely uncommon of a rookie. Especially one that basically carried the load until we were blessed with the return of the almighty Ben Street.
What's very nice to see however is that he's still playing very well away from the puck and in his own zone. Tonight he blocked three shots on one PK and had a few takeaways. It's always nice to see a struggling player still find a way to contribute.

For anyone that hasn't been paying close attention, here is what the Heat have done this season:
First 10: 5-4-1
Since then: 15-2-1
And they are starting to get guys back. Smith just sent down, Wotherspoon and Cundari healthy, Reinhart back. Byron should be back soon and Sieloff probably isn't too far.
If the Flames can get healthy, BJones and maybe even Baertschi could join the team as well.
Really exciting team down there.

Ward can talk forever about Ferland haha. Just talking to Ferland you can really see the vast difference between 2012/13 Ferland and 2013/14 Ferland. He's a much better talker with the media as well.
