VHLM Hot and Cold - Playoff Push

[Hoopydog 195]

So, with every team in the VHLM having played 50 games the race to make the playoffs are well and truly underway. Let’s have look at who’s red hot and who’s frozen cold

 

Las Vegas Aces

First up we have the league leaders in scoring, the Las Vegas Aces. They currently sit atop of the western conference with a record of 36-9-5 scoring 225 goals in the process and they are showing no signs of slowing down. Having won 11 of their last 13 games, with both losses coming via a shootout, they have firmly cemented themselves as a cup contender. You can find scoring at both ends of the Vegas team, with the top line of Captain Chris Reynolds, Rhynex Entertainment and Gary Rush all in amongst the league’s top 10 point scorers and defensemen Kaspar Kankkunen leading the leagues d-men in scoring.

 

Now let’s take a look at who’s been struggling…

 

Ottawa Lynx

The Ottawa Lynx, after having a good start to the season, have really struggled to find their skates of late. Having won only 2 of there last 11 games, they find themselves heading towards the bottom end of the eastern conference. There struggle seems to come from a lack of scoring, as they have only scored 19 goals in their last 11 games. If the Lynx want to make the playoffs then they might want to take a look at adding some forward depth to their roster, maybe that might give their scoring the spark it so desperately needs.
