With an assist last night, Sergei Gonchar set a Senators record with helpers in 10 straight games.

Gonchar entered the game tied with Jason Spezza and Daniel Alfredsson, who put together nine-game efforts back in 2007. "It's nice, but I mean, the most important (thing) at this time of the year is we're getting points as a team," Gonchar said. The veteran blueliner should be started in all formats, especially in leagues that reward power play points.

Enjoy your coffee!

Yesterday was my twin sons, Derek & Shane, birthday and they played in a basketball tournament final game but lost. However, my son Shane hit an almost 3/4 of the length-of-the-court shot off the glass as time expired at the half. That is something that he will always remember. Happy Birthday boys!

I'm so impressed how Ottawa has maintained their high level of play without its major stars. Kudos Paul MacLean!

Daniel Alfredsson and Sergei Gonchar have really shown their leadership skills this year.

What has happened to Tampa Bay after they did so good early on?

Robin Lehner, Jacob Markstrom and Jake Allen are going to be real studs in net as they gain more experience.

The Minnesota Wild are starting to roll much like they did in the first half of last season.

Sergei Gonchar set a franchise record by registering an assist in his ninth straight game Thursday.

He broke the record of eight games with a helper previously set by Filip Kuba in October 2008. Gonchar has been ridiculously hot of late, amassing one goal and 13 assists over those nine games. Gonchar will eventually cool down, but owners should run him out there for as long as this streak continues.
