WEEK 15 (thru Saturday)

Consecutive shutouts by Andrei Vasilevskiy has placed the Ice Hogs in position to win their 11th match of the season - Vasilevskiy (23 saves, 4.6 points) guiding the Hogs to a Saturday-best 13.6 point evening - the best H2H team in the league now 24.2  points better than the sitting Ducks.

Ice Hogs: 62.7
Wild Ducks: 38.5­
The Wild Ducks find themselves in an unexpectedly deep hole, the points-parched team netting just 4.0 points on Saturday. GM Collard and his crew will be hauling substantially more guns to Sunday, but those guns better be chock-full of points, the Ducks deficit borderline insurmountable with only six games remaining in the week.

Ice Hogs: Filip Forsberg, John Tavares, Andrei Vasilevskiy*

Badger Bob: 52.0
Saturday came, Saturday went - and the Central Red Army are still glaring at a 20+ point deficit.
