With most NHL teams about ten games into the season, many coaches and general managers are looking at their teams stats and shaking their heads. The amount of star players that have yet to record a goal is astonishing. Teams spend millions and millions of dollars each year for star players to produce on the score sheet. When ten games go by without a goal, it raises some concerns. Here is a list of NHL star players that have yet to record a goal.
Ryan Getzlaff – Anaheim – C
David Perron – Pittsburgh – LW
Corey Perry – Anaheim – RW
Ryan Kessler – Anaheim – C
David Backes – St. Louis – C
Jordan Staal – Carolina – C
Dustin Brown – Los Angeles – RW
Jakub Vorachek – Philadelphia – RW
Tyler Johnson – Tampa Bay – C
Drew Doughty – Los Angeles – D
Erik Karlsson – Ottawa – D
Victor Hedman – Tampa Bay – D
This dirty dozen must regain the scoring touch, and start lighting the lamp. One must laugh and think, if these guys were coaches how many would be on the hot seat for their performance thus far.
Brad Burud the owner/editor of the Inside Edge Hockey News. I am a huge fan of hockey, from youth hockey, to junior hockey, and of course professional hockey. I have played, coached, worked as statistician, and watched hockey all of my life. Hockey is not just a game, it is a lifestyle and family. The game of hockey is great! It can bring you nights of great enjoyment. It also brings nights where you feel like your team will never win. I am proud to be a journalist for the greatest game in the world. I have a degree in Business Administration, Psychology from Minot State University. I also have a Hockey General Manager and Scouting, and Sports Communications/Journalism degree from Sports Management Worldwide. I am also a member of the Sports Executives Association. Most of all I am a fan. Hockey is a huge part of my life and my families life.
