One month into the season and things appear to be unfolding as expected, for the most part anyway. Teams standings don't appear to much of a surprise, however the NHL Scoring leader is a different story. Leading the way with 28 Points in 13 Games, ahead of Connor McDavid, channeling is inner Bobby Orr, is none other than Florida Panthers stay at home Defensmen Aaron Ekblad ? Really you might ask ? Yes you read that correctly, Aaron Ekblad leads the TUFHL scoring race with 10 Goals and 18 Assist through 13 games.
Now, I don't think I would run to your bookie and bet the farm on the season ending that way, but I great story to start the year, and a great start for Ekblad helping the Panthers jump out to 1st place start in the Atlantic division.
For the TUFHL Weekly,
