Sidney Crosby – The 2017-18 season has widely been regarded as disappointing as we approach the mid-point for Mr. Crosby. If you stop and think about that for a second, it tells the whole story as he’s “slumped” his way to 34 points in 36 games. With that said, Crosby has been far more productive on home ice, where he’s posted nine goals and 13 assists in just 17 games at the PPG Paints Arena. The Ducks have allowed an unsettling 58.99 CA/60 and 2.57 xGA/60 over the last month and don’t have the personel to slow down Crosby with Ryan Kesler still sidelined.
