Projected Point Totals and Career Highs

[Strange Brew]

I really hope scoring continues at this pace. So much more interesting.

What was the last line(s) since 2004/5 to have all 3 players over 30 goals, is there any?

That's a lot of garbage.

I think he is being facetious.

There were a few posters before the third or fourth week of the season who were promoting an idiotic narrative about Sean Monahan as a the slightly-above-average second-line centre who scores a tonne of garbage goals.

Curiously, this perspective has not gained a lot of traction.

[FBI]

Despite Bennett's atrocity of a start to the year, he is now on pace to beat last years points..
11-18=29

I have a feeling this will continue to rise.

I bet he finishes with 40.

[Azure]

I'll go with 50.

[Kovaz]

On Jankowski's wing he's at 11 points in 22 games, which projects to 37 points over the rest of the year. But with the way their chemistry is developing 40 or 50 shouldn't be out of reach, especially if he finds some consistent PP time.

[getbak]

The first 15 games of the season for Bennett...

0 G | 0 A | 0 P | -5 | 16 PIM | 17 shots | 13:22 TOI/game

The last 15 games...

4 G | 7 A | 11 P | 0 | 4 PIM | 37 shots | 14:15 TOI/game

A 20 shot increase in the same number of games is crazy. That Janko-Bennett pair is making a massive difference.

[getbak]

Over the last 15 games, Bennett's 11 points is tied with Backlund for third on the team over that stretch.

Bumpety bump bump

Ferland hits his career high for goals in a season tonight.

4 points away from a career high in points.

Great to see given Wills' comments on the radio tonight that Ferland and Backlund are extremely sick with the flu, and Ferland developed strepp throat this week as well.

[killer_carlson]

Backlund has let his Lady Byng dreams slide. Career high in penalty minutes with 38.

Kulak at a career high with 4 points (no surprise there, but good to see)

Tkachuk is on pace for career high 59 points.
Brodie is on pace for career high 50 points.

I thought this thread was premature at the time and now we have the actual results versus on pace for:

Monahan is currently on pace for 50 goals, 43 assists and 93 points.
ACTUAL 31 goals, 33 assists and 64 points.
Previous career highs are 31 goals and 63 points. Beat it by one, but in less games.

Ferland is currently on pace for 37 goals and 52 points.
ACTUAL 21 goals, 20 assists and 41 points
Previous career highs are 15 goals and 25 points. Huge jump


Gaudreau is currently on pace for 39 goals, 82 assists and 121 points.
ACTUAL 24 goals, 60 assists for 84 points.
Previous career highs are 30 goals and 78 points. He did a bit better and crossed the magical PPG mark.

Tkachuk is on pace for career high 59 points. ACTUAL 49 - 1 point better than last year, in 8 less games
Brodie is on pace for career high 50 points. ACTUAL 32 points, lowest in the last 5 years.

Smith also ended up finishing right around his career average of 0.916 save percentage after an unreal start. So what can I say, things balance out to the norm after you have enough data.
