Dan Boyle, Logan Couture, Martin Havlat, Patrick Marleau, Joe Pavelski and Thornton have 30 of the team's 37 goals. San Jose scored 29 goals in seven games in January; just eight in seven games in February.





It was an under-the-radar move, but Pittsburgh Penguins GM Ray Shero did a huge favour for defenceman Ben Lovejoy. Lovejoy is the kind of player who really could have been screwed by the lockout. At age 28, he is making $525,000 and is on a one-way deal for just the second time in his career. An unrestricted-free-agent-to-be on a deep Pittsburgh blue-line, Lovejoy was looking at the loss of NHL salary security. But in Anaheim, he's got three assists in six games and is playing five more minutes a night. If Lovejoy turns this into full-time future employment, he should send Shero a nice watch.
