Brodie is in a three-way tie for the third worst plus/minus in the league at minus-16. I know +/- is not the best stat to measure a player's performance but when you're the lowest in the NHL ... woof. The Flames are holding on to a whisper of an NHL playoff season with the benefit of a weak division and Brodie is the scape-goat. The Flames are the most short-handed team in the NHL which doesn't help any defenseman with their game. However, he is one player I'd love for the Penguins to trade for when they inevitably have to move Flower.

The major news with Girardi is that he's being shopped. His 5.5m cap hit for 3 more years in considered a "must move" contract. His ice time is down recently to around 19m a game and most consider him gone by trade deadline. Girardi is a stay-at-home player who blocks shots and hits. He leads the Rangers in hits these passed two weeks but other defensive stats have declined to 4-5th level on the team.

Scheifele is on a hot streak scoring 4 goals in the passed two weeks. He is also shooting at a 33% pace which is crazy. Currently 11th in the entire NHL in scoring, there aren't too many players on his level right now. He leads the Jets in most scoring shooting stats and is leading the team in points.

Little has 16 points in his last 21 games coming back from injury. Since the absence of Laine who was concussed by the Sabre's McCabe, Little and Scheifele have been the few bright spots on the struggling Jets team who has only won 3 of its last 10.

With the Islander's shake up firing long-time coach Capuano, Strome is looking to revive his young career with the Islanders. With only 1 assist in 2017 he's been demoted to the 4th line, in a move that he claims helped him simplify his game. With Weight behind the bench he can only hope he can earn a better spot on the team.

Sgarbossa was recalled by the Panthers on 12/29. Putting in 13 points in 14 games for the AHL Falcons he's earned his call up. Earning bottom pair minutes he will need to do whatever he can to stay on the Panther's squad. When Barkov, Bjugstad, and Huberdeau get healthy he might get shipped back the Springfield.

Hutchinson has lost his last 4 decisions on a poorly performing Jet's team. The Jets are a team that is slipping downward to the NHL basement and being a back up on a team like that will not do you any favours.
