from Jim Kelley at Sportsnet,
...Then one could argue that in a league in which five-on-five goals are once again difficult to come by, Kovalchuk leads the league with 17 even-strength tallies while Lecavalier has 13 and Crosby 10. Kovalchuk also has more road goals (15) than he does home goals (eight) while Lecavalier has 14 at home and a mere five on the road and Crosby is split at seven and seven.
And while I would argue that all three players make the players around them better, we are talking about individual talents here and Kovalchuk’s shooting percentage bests the other two by a wide margin. He has hit on 21.1 percent of his offerings. That’s a far sight better than Lecavalier’s 16.0 and Crosby’s 15.4
In addition, Kovalchuk has twice netted a hat trick on the road this season.
