Gavilrovs 4 Goal Outburst

[Girts 1,218]

Last seasons defenseman of the year Guntis Gavilrovs exploded recently with a 4 goal game against Helsinki and is now up to 15 goals on the season. Gavilrovs leads all Defenseman in goals again this season with the 15 and has added 29 assists, good for 44 points in 38 games. Another great season for Gavilrovs this time with his new team in New York where he is currently 2nd in team scoring. Adding 129 hits and 68 blocks he's turning in another well rounded campaign, albeit slightly off his award winning pace from last season but a lot of time left to get even hotter. The Americans are playing some great hockey lately, they even had three straight shutouts this week! They are 6-2-2 in their last 10 including 4 wins in a row that resulted in them passing the Seattle Bears and more importantly the Vancouver Wolves who are actually a pretty good team. Things are clicking in New York right now and they are up to 3rd in the conference looking like a real threat to make some noise in the playoffs this season. Lots of New York players are playing well right now, Ol Doinks has been on fire lately and Janser, Richmond, Reynolds, Anisimov are posting great numbers also. This is a very strong group and if Gavilrovs can continue his pace or even improve on it we could see the Americans go deep in the post season this year!
