Troy Brouwer has notched 16 goals and 29 points in 41 games this season. If this wasn't a truncated campaign due to the lockout then Brouwer would have been on pace to reach new career highs in goals and points. "I think this year more than any other year I've been the shooter on the line," he said. "Last year playing with Ovi a lot of the year he was the shooter. When I was in Chicago I with Kane and Toews a lot of the time and they were the shooters." Brouwer credits Mike Ribeiro with this new mindset because "Ribs tells me never to pass it back to him if I've got an opportunity." He's also getting plenty of power-play time and has generated 15 points under those circumstances this year.
