Weber leads the Predators, Tokarski saves the Habs, Fantasy tips and more in Scott Cullens Statistically Speaking. Lenny Dykstra Jersey . HEROES Shea Weber - The Predators franchise blueliner scored a pair of goals in a 3-2 win against St. Louis. While Weber is taking heat from the analytics crowd this season, posting the worst relative possession stats of his career, hes also putting up points, including 10 points (2 G, 8 A) in his past nine games. SHEA WEBER CAREER YEAR EV SHOTS/60 EV PTS/60 CORSI% REL. CORSI% 2007-08 6.56 0.62 52.3% +2.6% 2008-09 5.90 1.20 53.0% +6.7% 2009-10 5.74 0.94 53.2% +3.1% 2010-11 6.61 1.04 51.2% +2.5% 2011-12 5.61 0.81 49.9% +5.4% 2012-13 4.74 0.72 45.9% -0.9% 2013-14 4.59 0.96 48.1% -1.0% 2014-15 5.42 1.29 49.2% -4.7% Dustin Tokarski - The Canadiens backup goaltender stopped 36 of 37 shots in a 2-1 shootout win at Florida. That lifted his save percentage to .924 in eight games, a nice contribution from the backup, and putting him in good company among backup goaltenders this season. ZEROES Gilbert & Emelin - The Montreal defence pairing of Tom Gilbert and Alexei Emelin spent most of the night chasing Panthers in the defensive zone, with Emelin (7 shot attempts for, 20 against, 25.9%) posting the worst possession stats among Habs defencemen. Nail Yakupov - Even in a rare Oilers win, they got more of the same from their young winger. Yakupov started 75% of shifts against Los Angeles in the offensive zone, yet finished with 27.6% (8 for, 21 against) of even-strength shot attempts. Hes the rare forward to start more than two-thirds of his shifts in the offensive zone this season, yet fall below break-even on attempted shot differential. LINEUP NEED TO KNOW Brian Elliott - Returned to the St. Louis net, for his first game since November 25 after suffering a lower-body injury, and stopped 44 of 47 shots in a 3-2 loss at Nashville. Derek Roy - Made his Oilers debut, registering an assist, and playing 14:53, primarily on a line with Teddy Purcell and Nail Yakupov. Brayden McNabb - The Kings defenceman left Tuesdays 3-2 shootout loss to Edmonton after getting clipped with a high stick by Oilers rookie Leon Draisaitl. Nikita Nikitin - Returned to the Oilers lineup for his first game since December 3, yet played a modest 11:15 against Los Angeles. SHORT SHIFTS The Predators got two-point games from both LW Gabriel Bourque and RW Olli Jokinen in their 3-2 win over St. Louis. Coming into the game, Bourque and Jokinen had combined for five points this season and had the two lowest ice times in the game for Nashville. Jokinen also had the best possession stats (18 shot attempts for, 6 against, 75.0%) for the Predators. Panthers G Roberto Luongo stopped 33 of 34 shots in a 2-1 shootout loss to Montreal…Oilers G Ben Scrivens turned aside 37 of 39 shots in a 3-2 shootout win against Los Angeles; it was his first win this season while recording more than 32 saves…Canucks G Ryan Miller had 31 saves on 32 shots in a 3-1 win at San Jose. FANTASY TIPS Its a busy night on the ice for the last day of 2014, so here are half a dozen players that you may want to get into your lineup: Mathieu Perreault - Leads the Jets with 12 points (7 G, 5 A) in 12 games in December, not bad considering his start to the season, which included no goals and three assists through his first 19 games. Andrei Vasilevskiy - Tampa Bays top goaltending prospect was recalled from the AHL, again, and it looks as though hell get the start against Buffalo. He stopped 94 of 100 shots in three games with the Lightning recently, when Ben Bishop was injured. Loui Eriksson - Hes still not generating shots like he did during his peak years in Dallas, but Eriksson has eight points (4 G, 4 A) in his past six games. Matt Calvert - The Blue Jackets winger has only nine points in 25 games this season, but has four points (1 G, 3 A) in the past four games and played a season-high 21:33 last game. Justin Abdelkader - On a three-game point streak, the Detroit winger has been playing and scoring more this year, thanks in large part to frequent linemates Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg. Colton Sceviour - Getting a chance with Jamie Benn and Tyler Seguin on the Stars top line, Sceviour has five points (1 G, 4 A) in his past seven games.

Part of it was that we knew we were challenged by this team. It was good for our team to come in and feel threatened, and as a result kind of get our edge back.Golden State is tops in the NBA for field goal percentage and assists, the earmarks of Kerrs offensive philosophy.But the Warriors have also been sharp defensively — they lead the league in opponents field goal percentage, blocked shots and defensive rebounds.Golden State had 11 steals and forced the Pelicans into 17 turnovers.Weve got such versatile defenders and such big wings — we might have the longest team in the NBA, Thompson said. And people dont appreciate Stephs defence as much as they should.Curry had four steals, and Thompson and Andre Iguodala had two apiece.Harrison Barnes added 17 points and 10 rebounds while Draymond Green had 14 points and 14 rebounds for Golden State, which improved to an NBA-best 16-2.The winning streak matches the longest in Warriors history. The 1971-72 team also won 11 straight.Golden State needed a late burst to hold off Orlando and keep the streak going earlier this week. The Warriors also got off a slow start against New Orleans before pulling away with a 20-4 run in the second quarter for their eighth consecutive victory over the Pelicans.Anthony Davis had his 12th double-double for New Orleans with 30 points and 15 rebounds.The ball did not move the way it needed to, Pelicanss coach Monty Williams said. Nolan Ryan Jersey. We tried to go 1-on-1 and it looked bad.The Pelicans were coming off a 112-104 win against Oklahoma City on Tuesday, and Williams joked before the game against Golden State about holding Curry and Thompson scoreless.Wishful thinking.Curry helped keep the Warriors close in the first quarter until Thompson — who missed seven of his first eight shots — got going. The duo combined for 12 of Golden States final 16 points in the second quarter and then teamed up for 10 more in the third when the Warriors led by as many as 22.New Orleans, which signed embattled forward Dante Cunningham before the game, couldnt keep up.The Pelicans shot 41.6 per cent from the floor but went only 3 of 15 from 3-point range and were outrebounded 56-47.___CROTCHETY KLAYWilliams was an assistant on Team USA during the FIBA World Cup this past summer and got the opportunity to work with Curry and Thompson.Theyre a bit different, Williams said. Steph is a bit more conversational. Klay is like a crotchety old man. He really doesnt want anything to do with anyone. He just wants to play ball. Im sure I got on their nerves a little bit telling them how to play, but I thought they were great to be around.TIP-INSPelicans: Williams said the team has not made a decision on whether injured guard Eric Gordon should have surgery on his left shoulder. Gordon tore his labrum when he separated his shoulder in a collision with Utah guard Trey Burke on Nov. 22.Warriors: Center Andrew Bogut has 14 blocked shots in his last three games. ...
