Looking For Secondary Scoring

from Terry Koshan of the Toronto Sun,
Interestingly, while goals decline, individual accomplishments have not. Nine players, including Vincent Lecavalier, Jarome Iginla and Sidney Crosby, at mid-season were on pace for 100-point seasons, and seven had a legitimate shot at 50 goals.
The league has been invigorated with the double-whammy presence of Crosby and Alexander Ovechkin, and fans should be salivating with the idea that John Tavares will make his NHL debut in October 2009.
If anything, though, there could be a wider gap now between the league’s best and everyone else. More than a few coaches this season have made note of the lack of secondary scoring throughout the league. Many teams have a couple of fairly prolific forwards, precious little afterward.
