Telker is enjoying the ice time and face-off experience

[Telkster 550]

Telker has found himself being the big man at center for the Menace. Another good first half on the season has him lined up to get some personal stat records. Telker has taken the bulk of the faceoffs since Jet's farewell. While he doesn't win the faceoff battle every single night in, he has shown multiple nights that he can win over 50% of the draws. His ice time has increased a ton as well. While that does help for more experience, it'll be harder to translate into more points with the current state of the Menace roster. There should be no real excuse to not be at least somewhat close to a ppg for Telker, and he has been enjoying his time on the ice. "Its nice to see that the vets are building some relationships with the youngsters. It feels nice to set up the new guys on the wing for a goal". 24 points in the first 35 games is about where you expect Telker to be, especially since most of that game time was spent on the second line this season.
