December 28, 2015 / Hockey, Scott Maran, Transactional analysis

This season, Scrivens has played nine games in the AHL, going 2-6-1 with the Bakersfield Condors. In the past four seasons, he’s played with the Oilers, Los Angeles Kings and Toronto Maple Leafs, compiling a .905 career save percentage. Kassian has not played any games this season after he was entered into stage two of the league’s substance abuse and behavioral health program. Before this season, he was traded from the Vancouver Canucks, for whom he posted 59 points in 171 games over four seasons.

Hockey Hospital: The Crosby Curse

December 23, 2015 / Hockey, Hockey Hospital, Scott Maran

In the past two games without Savard, Murray has skated 27 minutes and 31 minutes and also saw an increase in his power play time. Murray has a lot of potential, as evidenced by the fact that he was drafted second overall in 2012 by the Blue Jackets, and he should see an increase in points, so go ahead and pick him up if you need blueline help.

Even though Clarkson left Saturday’s game early, he was able to play in Monday’s contest. Remember that he returned from a back woe less than a week ago.

Mike Johnston Fired

December 12, 2015 / Hirings/Firings, Hockey, Scott Maran

The Pens are kind of stuck in the middle of the Metropolitan Division, and were recently passed in the standings by the Devils, which likely prompted the move (although it’s been building for some time). Overall, Pittsburgh was 58-37-15 under Johnston.

Hockey Hospital: Garret Sparks is Flying in Toronto

December 9, 2015 / Hockey, Hockey Hospital, Scott Maran

While we wouldn’t suggest you go run out and grab Jarnkrok now, he does have interesting potential given the offense he flashed in the minors and the fact he drafted relatively high. It’s possible that he starts heating up in Fisher’s absence.

Hockey Hospital: Carey Price is Not Right

December 2, 2015 / Hockey, Hockey Hospital, Scott Maran

In the seven games Price was injured earlier in the season, Condon posted three wins and played well. With Price out again, Condon will get more starts for the hot Canadiens and should provide good value. The Habs aren’t afraid to use Condon a lot as evidenced by the fact that they started him in seven straight games.

Hockey Hospital: Ondrej Pavelec Sidelined in The Peg

November 25, 2015 / Hockey, Hockey Hospital, Scott Maran

If we had to pick, we think Hutchinson has the upper hand and will get more starts than Hellebuyck in the first few games. Hutchinson is more proven and has played in the NHL before. However, we would not be surprised if Hellebuyck has a few great games and takes over the starting job until Pavelec returns. Hellebuyck has put up fantastic numbers in the minors and has a lot of potential.
