from Allan Maki of the Globe and Mail,
According to current NHL statistics, there are 107 players who have appeared in at least one game this season without scoring. Some of those players were called up from the minors, barely played and were sent back down. Some played in a number of games then got hurt (i.e. Darren McCarty of the Calgary Flames, who has zero points in 31 games and is not likely to play again this season because of a hip injury.)
But then there are those like Cam Janssen of the New Jersey Devils who can’t buy a point. Jansen has nothing in 29 games this season and had more of the same last season when he played in 47 games. If you do math, Janssen’s point-scoring drought has now reached 76 games, which begs the question: what will Janssen score first — an NHL goal or an NHL pension?
