Well a big question going into this season was going to the play of Vanek and Pominville. They needed to be good to help take pressure off of others and provide a spark for a team that has arguably lacked a top scoring line for 5yrs. So far through 2 games we have seen some great play from Van and Poms. Also of note is the renewed/refreshed and stunningly better Cody Hodgson. Although he has only produced 2 pts thus far, he has caused havoc on some shifts and I would argue is responsible for some of the points that his linemates have accumulated. Is a new legit top scoring line emerging or is this a flash in the pan that will quickly wither to what we have known for years which is occasional good games but nothing that other teams are in fear of?
Thomas Vanek: 2g 4a, +3
Jason Pominville: 1g, 4a, +2
Cody Hodgson: 2g, 0a, +4
