In honour of Dallas Eakins getting undone by percentages in Edmonton, here is a look at some players struggling with low on-ice shooting percentages. Domata Peko Jersey . Players with low on-ice shooting percentages -- the cumulative shooting percentage of all players on the ice with that player when playing 5-on-5 -- particularly if different than previous seasons, should have a tendency to get better scoring rates going forward. LOW ON-ICE SH% PLAYERS Patrick Sharp – Limited to just 17 games by a knee injury, the Blackhawks’ sharpshooter has a modest 11 points (4 G, 7 A), while shooting a career-low 5.4% himself and posting a 4.1% on-ice shooting percentage this year, compared to 9.1% for his career. He’s also averaging a career-high 4.35 shots on goal per game. Buy. Low. Eric Staal – The Carolina centre has 16 points (7 G, 9 A) in 24 games, his 0.67 points per game standing as his lowest mark since his rookie year in 2003-04, but he’s stuck with 4.3% on-ice shooting percentage, compared to a career-mark of 8.4%. Aleksander Barkov – In his second season, the Panthers’ centre is playing against quality opposition with defensive zone starts, but he has four points (2 G, 2 A) in 19 games. With a 2.7% on-ice shooting percentage, which is low even for Florida, Barkov’s numbers are due to pick up. Patrik Elias – The 38-year-old Devils veteran has been a consistently productive force for a long time, but has just 12 points (3 G, 9 A) in 26 games this season. There is legitimate reason for concern with Elias, who is generating a career-low 1.23 shots on goal per game, but a 4.7% on-ice shooting percentage is a far cry from his typical 8.7%. Nail Yakupov – The third-year winger has flopped this year, with eight points (4 G, 4 A) in 31 games, and he’s had a terrible time generating shots lately (nine shots on goal in seven games this month). However, Yakupov’s 4.4% on-ice shooting percentage – compared to 7.9% for his career – makes him a natural candidate to get better results in Edmonton. HEROES Nikita Kucherov – The second-year Lightning winger had a goal and an assist in Tampa Bay’s 4-2 loss at Pittsburgh. Kucherov hasn’t gone more than a game without a point over the past 25 games, and he’s been one of the game’s premier 5-on-5 scorers this season. Among players with at least 300 minutes of 5-on-5 play: 5-on-5 POINTS PER 60 PLAYER TEAM POS EV PTS/60 Rick Nash N.Y. Rangers LW 3.97 Tyler Johnson Tampa Bay C 3.45 Nikita Kucherov Tampa Bay RW 3.42 Tyler Seguin Dallas RW 3.36 Ryan Strome N.Y. Islanders RW 3.26 Steve Downie – Scored a goal and added an assist in the 4-2 win over Tampa Bay, giving him five points (2 G, 3 A) in the past four games. Downie has 15 points (5 G, 10 A) in 30 games for the season. He may be a headache – there’s some reason that the Penguins are his fifth NHL stop in eight seasons (including twice with the Flyers) -- but Downie, who currently leads the league with 116 penalty minutes, provides a rare blend of skill and mayhem. Since the start of 2009-10, Downie trails only Scott Hartnell for points by players with at least 600 penalty minutes. Scott Gomez – Had a goal and an assist, with solid possession stats (22 shot attempts for, 14 against, 61.1%) in New Jersey’s 3-2 shootout loss at the Islanders. Gomez, who turns 35 next week, has six points (2 G, 4 A) in eight games since joining the Devils, playing primarily with Jaromir Jagr and a rotating cast of characters (Martin Havlat, Travis Zajac, Mike Cammalleri), though his possession numbers (48.6% Corsi, -1.9% CorsiRel) leave something to be desired. ZEROES Ruutu, Henrique, Ryder – This Devils trio was locked into the defensive zone against the Islanders, as all three were 15% of lower in possession terms, with Tuomo Ruutu (2 shot attempts for, 17 against, 10.5%) the worst of the bunch. John Tavares – The Islanders star was One shot attempt, blocked, and 42.9% possession against New Jersey, getting the worst when he ended up out against Jagr, Scott Gomez and Travis Zajac. Tavares has four points (2 G, 2 A) in the past seven games, and Monday’s 18:45 time on ice was his lowest in a game since late October. David Legwand – The Ottawa centre failed to register a shot attempt and had negative possession stats (45.5%) against Buffalo (yes, Buffalo). With 13 points in 30 games, Legwand is averaging 0.43 points per game, his lowest since his rookie year in 1999-2000. LINEUP NEED TO KNOW Ben Bishop – Tampa Bay’s starting goaltender pulled himself from the game following the first period at Pittsburgh with a lower-body injury. Veteran Evgeni Nabokov will be available to start in Bishop’s absence, but top prospect Andrei Vasilevskiy could also be an option if Bishop is going to be out for a while. The 19th overall pick in 2012, Vasilevski has a .918 save percentage in 14 AHL games this season, his first in North America. Erik Karlsson – Ottawa’s star blueliner played 34:02 at Buffalo in a 5-4 shootout loss, the second-highest single-game total of the season. Jonathan Drouin – It hasn’t been an easy time for the Lightning rookie, who has battled to keep a spot in the lineup with the deep Tampa Bay forward class, but Drouin scored a goal at Pittsburgh and started skating with Steven Stamkos and Ryan Callahan for a few shifts after starting the game with Cedric Paquette and J.T. Brown. Ryan Strome – The Islanders’ skilled young forward played a season-high 20:09 vs. New Jersey and, while he started most (83.3%) of his shifts in the offensive zone, Strome also held 80% possession (20 shot attempts for, 5 against). Jacob Trouba – Winnipeg’s second-year blueliner has 12 points (4 G, 8 A) in 31 games, and has been a steady part of an injury-plagued Jets defence, but now hes out until February, leaving a large hole for the Jets to fill. SHORT SHIFTS Sabres LW Marcus Foligno registered a goal and an assist against Ottawa, giving him four points (3 G, 1 A) during a three-game point streak…Devils RW Jaromir Jagr had two assists and 11 shot attempts (6 SOG) and D Marek Zidlicky had a goal and an assist in New Jersey’s 3-2 shootout loss at the Islanders. FIRSTS Curtis Lazar – It’s been a long time coming for Ottawa’s rookie winger, who finally scored his first NHL goal in a 5-4 shootout loss at Buffalo Monday. Lazar has seven points (1 G, 6 A) through 26 games played, removing himself from the list of forwards with the most shots without a goal this season. Brian Dumoulin – The Penguins blueliner scored his first NHL goal, in his 10th career NHL game, in Pittsburgh’s 4-2 win over Tampa Bay. Bryan Rust –In his second NHL game, the Penguins rookie was bumped up the depth chart to play with Blake Comeau and Evgeni Malkin and it resulted in his first career goal during the Penguins’ 4-2 win against Tampa Bay.

Bradley Chubb Jersey . - The Minnesota Vikings have ruled Christian Ponder out for Sundays game at Baltimore, because the quarterback has not yet passed all of his post-concussion tests. http://www.cheapbroncosjerseyssale.com/?tag=demaryius-thomas-jersey-sale . "It was a little weird looking over and seeing all the green uniforms," he said of his first game against the Boston Celtics.(SportsNetwork.com) - The Ottawa Senators continue a tough stretch before the Olympic break as they visit the St. Louis Blues on Tuesday, one night after visiting the leaders of the Eastern Conference. The Senators lost for the fourth time in six games with Mondays 2-1 overtime setback to the Pittsburgh Penguins, though they were able to earn a point following a disappointing 6-3 loss in Toronto on Saturday. Craig Anderson made a season-high 46 saves, but was unable to stop James Neals shot at the 1:55 mark of overtime. Stephane Da Costa scored for the Senators, who had cruised to a 5-0 win on home ice against the Pens back on Dec. 23 and now sit three points behind Detroit for eighth place in the Eastern Conference. "We knew we had to come out hard after the second half of our game in Toronto, which was not up to our liking," said Anderson, who surpassed his previous season high of 35 saves last done on Jan. 30. "We needed to come back and have a good game, and we knew they would want to come back hard at us too after we beat them in our building." Things dont get easier tonight for the Senators as they visit a Blues club that is third overall in the Western Conference with 79 points, three back of the Central Division-leading Chicago Blackhawks. Ottawa will visit the NHL basement-residing Buffalo Sabres on Thursday, but then visit the Atlantic Division-leading Boston Bruins on Saturday. After a heavy workload last night, Robin Lehner is likely to give Anderson a deserved break tonight. Lehner has faceed the Blues just once before, making 30 saves in a 3-2 overtime victory at home on Dec. Discount Denver Broncos Jerseys. 16. The Senators snapped a two-game slide to the Blues and have won six of the last eight meetings. They will visit St. Louis for the first time since a 5-2 loss on Nov. 19, 2010. Defenseman Cody Ceci scored his first NHL goal in the matchup with the Blues and it was the game-winner in overtime. Chris Stewart scored twice for the Blues and Brian Elliott made 29 saves. Derek Roy added two assists for St. Louis and the Ottawa native has 14 goals and 39 points in 45 career games versus the Sens. Elliott made 28 saves as the Blues won the opener of a four-game homestand by besting the Nashville Predators 4-3 in a shootout on Saturday. Vladimir Tarasenko had a game-tying goal in the third period before notching the winner in the tiebreaker. "We needed this game after losing the last game," said Tarasenko, referring to a 3-1 setback in Carolina the previous night. He also had an assist versus the Predators. Jaden Schwartz and David Backers also lit the lamp for the Blues, who won for the fourth time in its last five games and moved to 20-5-2 at home this season. Jaroslav Halak will start tonight for St. Louis, which is 9-0-0 at home versus the Eastern Conference this season. Halak is 3-5-1 with a 2.76 goals against average in his career versus the Senators. Blues coach Ken Hitchcock is one win shy of 110 with the Blues, which would tie Scotty Bowman for fourth on the franchises all-time list.
