More of the same from the Tank, countering multi-point efforts of Martin St. Vegas Golden Knights Shirts . Louis and Derick Brassard for the Rangers, lineup news, Fantasy tips and more in Scott Cullen’s Statistically Speaking. HEROES Vladimir Tarasenko – This is becoming a regular honour for Tarasenko, who now has five goals and eight points in the past four games, including a highlight-reel goal and an assist, then the shootout winner, against the Rangers Monday. With 13 points in 11 games, Tarasenko is tied for 12th in scoring and his 4.45 shots on goal per game ranks fifth. He has emerged as a game-breaking talent on an otherwise solid, but not necessarily spectacular, Blues team that is now riding a five-game winning streak. Martin St. Louis – The Rangers winger was off to something of a slow start, with one goal in 10 games, but buried a pair against the Blues. It is worth tracking St. Louis’ production, though, as the 39-year-old is averaging 1.82 shots on goal per game, his lowest rate since 2001-2002. Derick Brassard – With Derek Stepan sidelined, Brassard has filled a void down the middle for the rangers, playing a career-high 18:23 per game, and he contributed a couple of assists against the Blues. His current nine points in 11 games (0.82 points per game) is the best rate of his career. ZEROES Ryan Reaves – The Blues’ enforcer had a heavyweight scrap with Rangers D Dylan McIlrath, but wasn’t on for a single shot attempt for, and 12 against, during 5-on-5 play. Jaden Schwartz – It might come as expected that an enforcer gets stuck on the wrong end of the possession game, especially on the road, but skilled winger Schwartz also had a rough go against the Blueshirts, with eight shot attempts for and 24 against (25.0%), notably getting dominated in a few head-to-head shifts against the Rangers’ line of LW Chris Kreider, C Kevin Hayes and RW Lee Stempniak. SHORT SHIFTS Rangers LW Chris Kreider scored a goal and had 11 shot attempts (5 SOG)…RW Rick Nash had an assist and 10 shot attempts (5 SOG). LINEUP NEED TO KNOW In the wake of injuries to Ryan McDonagh and Kevin Klein, as well as a suspension to John Moore, the Rangers inserted rookies Conor Allen and Dylan McIlrath onto their blueline. McIlrath only played 8:02, while sitting for nine minutes in the penalty box but, when he played, McIlrath was on the ice for 11 shot attempts for and 6 against (64.7%). D Matt Hunwick played 24:51 for the Rangers, his second straight game over 24 minutes on the depleted Rangers blueline. Rangers LW Mats Zuccarello missed the game with an undisclosed injury, so recently-waived LW Ryan Malone still had a spot in the lineup on the Blueshirts’ fourth line. FANTASY FOCUS Some players in action tonight that should have increasing Fantasy value: Nick Bjugstad – Though the towering Panthers’ centre has just one point in nine games, keep tabs on the the second-year pivot, who is generating 3.11 shots on goal per game and has strong possession stats, carrying 61.9% of the play at 5-on-5. Vincent Lecavalier – Injuries have limited him to only four games, but Lecavalier has returned to the Flyers’ lineup and while we’re looking at a very small sample, he does have four points and 3.25 shots on goal per game. Playing with Wayne Simmonds and R.J. Umberger last game, Lecavalier has an opportunity to produce offensively. Evgeny Kuznetsov – With points in the past three games, Kuznetsov has been bumped up to Washington’s second line, with Marcus Johansson and Troy Brouwer. After starting the year on the fourth line, this is a chance for Kuznetsov to live up to some of the preseason hype. Jason Zucker – Another player that started the year on the fourth line, Zucker was productive right out of the gate and has been moved up the depth chart, to skate with Mikko Koivu and Charlie Coyle. Playing more than 18 minutes in each of the last two games is a chance for Zucker to build on his strong start (five goals, seven points in 10 games).

JOHNS, N.L. - Kael Mouillierat didnt like what he saw in his first appearance for the St. Johns IceCaps since sustaining an injury in early March. After a three-goal third period from the Hartford Wolf Pack — including two goals from J.T. Miller — St. Johns fell 7-2 on Saturday, leaving the IceCaps unhappy with his teams effort. "From top to bottom, I dont think we had enough guys that showed up to play tonight," Mouillierat said. "We cant just turn it on for the playoffs, it has to be every night. Every game matters." Rookie goalie Eric Comrie allowed seven goals on 30 shots, but Mouillierat said the loss was on the shoulders of the team. "Its not his fault," he said. "We played like crap in front of him. We left him out to dry." Justin Vaive, Danny Kristo, Oscar Lindberg, Marek Hrivik and Nick Latta also scored for the Wolf Pack (35-31-7). Austen Brassard and Jerome Samson answered for the IceCaps (43-23-7). Mouillierat, who had seven penalty minutes and zero points in his return to the ice, said he felt fine. "Once I got my legs under me, I felt a little better," Mouillierat said. "That is too be expected when youre out for that amount of time. Hopefully I can feel better by the time playoffs roll around here." St. Johns head coach Keith McCambridge said Hartford was the better team on the night. "Hartford is playing some real strong hockey," McCambridge said. "Thats their seventh win in a row, and (oour team) not being at the level we need to be at tonight. Fake Golden Knights Jerseys. I liked our start but other than that I didnt like our execution. "On home ice, or on the road, to have seven goals against, thats not the level we need to be at." Brenden Kichton put a shot off the post and Brassard finished it into a wide-open net to open the scoring for the IceCaps 1:39 into the game. Hartford tied it up when Vaive capitalized on a scramble in front, scoring a tap-in 3:30 into the first period. Kristo put the Wolf Pack ahead 2-1 with a toe-drag move to a wrist shot, beating St. Johns IceCaps rookie goalie Eric Comrie high blocker from the left faceoff dot at the 7:21 mark of the first period. While shorthanded at the 6:24 mark of the second period, Lindberg pivoted toward the net and fired a shot high glove in the slot, making it 3-1 Hartford. Samson pulled the IceCaps within one with a one-time slapshot from right of the slot at the 7:09 mark of the second period. Hrivik got on the board for Hartford when he one-timed a slapshot off a perfectly-set pass in the slot with 1:34 left in the second period. Miller buried a shot from the slot on the power play at the 9:18 mark of the third period for Hartford, off a Kichton turnover. Miller added another, redirecting a shot high over Comrie with 7:01 left in the game to make it 6-2. Latta finished off a 2-on-1 rush for Hartford with 30 seconds left. Comrie made 23 saves for the IceCaps. Hartford goalie David LeNeveu stopped 31 shots. ' ' '
