Leon Draisaitl has had a terrific season, scoring a league-leading 43 goals and is tied for the league-lead with 87 points.

Los Angeles Kings
The Los Angeles Kings have been playing some good hockey and since the break, they’ve defeated the Utah Hockey Club 5-3 and the Vegas Golden Knights 5-2.
Adrian Kempe leads the team with 25 goals and 48 points in 55 games, closely followed by Anže Kopitar’s 13 goals and 46 points.

San Jose Sharks
Since returning from the break, the San Jose Sharks fell 3-2 to the Calgary Flames before falling 2-1 in overtime to the Winnipeg Jets. They’re not a good team but they sure are fun.
The first overall pick from the 2024 draft, Macklin Celebrini has 18 goals and is tied for the team-leading in points with 42 alongside William Eklund. Former Flame Tyler Toffoli leads the team with 21 goals, while Fabian Zetterlund has 15 goals and Luke Kunin has 11 goals. In net, it’s a mess as Alexandar Georgiev has an .879 save percentage and 3.94 goals against average while Vítek Vaněček has an .882 save percentage and 3.87 goals against average.
This week, the Sharks continue their road trip against the Montréal Canadiens, Ottawa Senators, Toronto Maple Leafs, and Buffalo Sabres. They’ll finish up the road trip against the Colorado Avalanche on Thursday before returning home on Saturday, Mar. 8. That’s four different time zones in under two weeks.
Seattle Kraken
There’s been some good and some bad for the Seattle Kraken since the break ending. They kicked it off with a 2-1 win over the Florida Panthers but fell 4-1 to the Tampa Bay Lightning and 7-2 to the St. Louis Blues to finish off their week.
Jared McCann has 15 goals and 43 points, leading the team in the latter category. Jaden Schwartz leads the team with 18 goals and the Kraken have seven other players with double-digit goals. In net, Joey Daccord has a .915 save percentage and 2.52 goals against average in 40 games and has been leaned on heavily this season since Philipp Grubauer was sent to the American Hockey League.
It’s a light week for the Kraken as they host the Vancouver Canucks and Minnesota Wild on Saturday and Tuesday respectively. After, they return to the road to face the Nashville Predators, Philadelphia Flyers, and Washington Capitals. Weird schedule.
Vancouver Canucks
The Vancouver Canucks have struggled to score since coming off the break, falling 3-1 to the Vegas Golden Knights followed by a 2-1 loss to the Utah Hockey Club. In turn, they’ve lost their post-season position, albeit with a ton of time left this season.
One reason why the Canucks may be losing as much as they are is because Quinn Hughes has been out of the line-up since the break ended. The left-shot defenceman has 14 goals and 59 points, leading the team in the latter category. Jake DeBrusk has 21 goals to lead the team while five other players have double-digit goals. In net, Kevin Lankinen has a .907 save percentage and 2.52 goals against average in 35 games played.
This week, the Canucks road trip continues as they face off against the Los Angeles Kings on Wednesday and the Anaheim Ducks on Thursday. They’ll finish up their road trip play against the Seattle Kraken on Saturday to finish their week.
Vegas Golden Knights
It’s been a mixed bag for the Vegas Golden Knights since returning from the 4 Nations Face-Off break, defeating the Vancouver Canucks in their first game back before falling 5-2 to the Los Angeles Kings.
Jack Eichel has been playing well this season, scoring 19 goals and 69 points, leading the team in the latter category. Mark Stone producing well as well with 15 goals and 50 points.
