Early season duds

In 19 games so far this season, San Jose defenceman Marc-Edouard Vlasic has zero points and is a team worst -10. Fellow teammate Devin Setoguchi, two years removed to a 31 goal season, had only two goals and six points in the same number of games.

After 21 games this season, Philadelphia leads the league in goals scored. Remarkably, though, James van Riemsdyk still hasn’t accounted for one of the Flyers’ goals, the sophomore winger has seven points in nearly two months of play — all assists.

At this point in the season Nashville’s Shea Weber has put together decent enough numbers, the defenceman has seven points in 18 games. The glaring issue with Weber, however, is that he is currently a team worst – 6 and is currently sitting third on the Predators blueline scoring sheet, behind both Francis Bouillon and Cody Franson.

In Ottawa, hopes that Nick Foligno would finally take a step forward in development have been all but dashed. The forward has five points in 20 games so far with the Senators, still waiting for his first goal of the season. In net, Ottawa is also struggling as both Pascal Leclaire and Brian Elliott have underperformed spectacularly.

Montreal must be thanking their lucky stars some of the less paid players on the team are contributing on the score sheet — Scott Gomez, who costs the Canadiens a cool US $7.35 million off the salary cap, has tallied only six points in 20 games this season.

Columbus is still waiting for rookie Nikita Filatov to realize his scoring potential; the highly touted prospect has six assists and zero goals in eighteen games. Of course, the Blue Jackets aren’t getting much help in net from Steve Mason; the former Rookie of the Year has a 3.20 goals against average and has been consistently outplayed by backup goalie Mathieu Garon thus far this season.

New Jersey has an entire roster of underachievers in this early season. Forwards Ilya Kovalchuk, Jason Arnott, Patrik Elias and Travis Zajac have all played at least 19 games this season but none have more than 12 points.

Honourable mentions: Gilbert Brule, Andrew Cogliano, Rick DiPietro, Marc-Andre Fleury, Erik Johnson, Olli Jokinen, Antti Niemi, Dustin Penner, Wayne Simmonds, Brandon Sutter, Stephen Weiss.
