The most hurt teams are Calgary, New Jersey and Florida. Stared names are key injuries. Again, goalies getting hurt is not good. If they are getting hurt than your defensive line isn't giving 100% to block the puck and clear the zone. That's something that almost every team needs to remember.
Season standings so far: West-Leading the west is the Rangers. Atlantic: No surprise, Rangers with 23 points and a 11-5-1 record.
North East: Boston and Buffalo tied 8-3-3 with 19 points.
South East: Carolina with 16 points and a 8-5-2 record. East-Leading the east are the Sharks Central: Detroit with a 9-2-2 record earning 20 points.
North West: Vancover 9-6-0 earning 18 points (MN is only 1 point behind them and they have only played 13 games to Vancovers 15.)
Pacific: Obviously this one is going to the Sharks, the best team in the league, but kinda hurt from a couple key injuries right now. Their record is 13-3-0 earning 26 points.
Overall in the league, your top 10 teams are as follows.
1: San Jose Sharks
2: New York Rangers
3: Detroit Redwings
4: Vancouver Canucks
5: Carolina Hurricanes
6: Buffalo Sabers
7: Anaheim Ducks
8: Montreal Canadiens
9: Pittsburgh Penguins
10: Minnesota Wild
