Girardi registered on the scoresheet for the third consecutive game Thursday, notching two assists in a shootout loss to Vancouver.A full quarter of his 16 points on the year have come over these last three games, but there's no sense in relying on consistent offensive productivity from Girardi, who's locked into the role of a defensively oriented defenseman who'll chip in 20-something points on an annual basis.
