The Wolf Pack have been chugging along at around .500 after a scorching hot start to the season. Losing Knobloch has clearly had some effect, but they have also lost key players to the Rangers due to injuries. They still have plenty of games in hand on their division rivals, and I would be surprised if they miss the playoffs. Full disclosure, I only catch these games in spurts and am rarely able to watch one in its entirety.
Brennan Othmann: Othmann has continued to produce at a more consistent rate, with 8 points in his last 10 games. He is still very reliant on powerplay scoring for his production, but we always knew that his prowess on the man advantage was one of his biggest strengths. It is clear that he needed some time to fully adapt to the professional level, so all we can hope for the rest of the year is that his production remains steady.
Brett Berard: Berard has not struggled to produce at even strength, and with 9 points in his last 10 games, he is also coming into his own as a prolific threat for the Wolf Pack. I did not think he would be this effective so early in his professional career, even though I have been very high on him since draft day. You have to wonder how far down the pecking order he is for a call-up. He is an intriguing trade.
