Sorry for the delay this morning folks. I think we're all still half asleep from the snoozer played in Newark last night. The good news is that Phil Kessel popped home his 31st goal of the season and set a new personal high for points in a season (he is also on pace to play in only his second full-82 game season). Tyler Bozak added his 15th of the year. Has Bozie been a slight disappointment? Probably, although even your PPP overloads figured Bozak would only score 18 goals this season. For an undrafted kid playing in his first full NHL season, I don't think 15 goals is too shabby (although he had chances to score several more).
