This week saw my team the Road Apples leap frog two teams and vault myself into 6th place and a playoff spot. I finished the week 7-3-2 and now stand with 124 points, one point ahead of 7th and 5 points back of 5th place. First place is only 13 points away and I face the first place team this week.

My leading scorers for this week included: Joe Thorton with 1 goal and 5 assists and Nik Antropov with 4 goals and plus 3. No surprises there.

Goaltending: All three of my goalies Vesa Toskala, Henrik Lunqvist and my recent addition of Carey Price had a win a piece. Lunqvist had a shutout.

 At this point, Im content without making any major moves as Im moving up in the standings and everyone except one defencemen is healthy. Im waiting for Thomas Vanek to start finding the back of the net and it would be nice for Jason Pominville to start getting back on a 30-40 goal pace again. Otherwise my worst stat for the year has been +/-. I was counting on so much more from Vanek who led the league last year in that category.
