David Clarkson netted his 30th goal of the season in Saturday's win over Carolina on his 28th birthday. "The goal is always to win and have the team do well first, but I'd be lying if I said it wasn't nice to get to," said Clarkson after reaching the 30-goal mark for the first time in his career. "I never thought that would ever happen to me or I would get there, but the fact that I did is special. It feels good." His personal best 226 shots likely helped and his 138 penalty minutes provides him with some additional fantasy value. However, it's unlikely that he'll enjoy a repeat year offensively next year.
