Klingberg driving offence from the defence, Zuccarello comes up big, streaking Patrick Kane, Palmieri bustin out, fantasy and more in Scott Cullen’s Statistically Speaking.

HEROES

John Klingberg – The second-year Stars defenceman had another goal and an assist in a 6-3 win over Winnipeg, and has six points (1 G, 5 A) in the past five games, moving back into the defence scoring lead with 17 points in 17 games.

He’s also been the Stars’ top possession defender and, since the start of last season, Klingberg has the best rate of primary assists among 155 defencemen to play at least 1000 5-on-5 minutes...

ZEROES

Sean Couturier – The Flyers centre failed to register a shot attempt in 15:46 against Washington, and has three shots in four games since returning to the lineup. He has yet to record more than two shots on goal in a game this season and, based on his shot chart, it’s because he’s waiting until he’s on top of the goaltender before letting it fly.

Erik Haula – The Wild centre played less than nine minutes against Carolina, but managed two shot attempts for and 19 against (9.6 SAT%).
