Standings are topsy-turvy in early going
[ad_1]
It was an interesting first week of the season in which Buffalo, Columbus, Detroit, and San Jose, four teams that were considered bottom-dwellers, got off to great starts, while Montreal, a Stanley Cup Finalist last season, are 0-5-0 and the only team in the NHL without a point.
There is a lot of information this week so let’s get to it.

Notes
The Ducks play three games in four nights as part of their four-game week. John Gibson will get three starts while Anthony Stolarz is expected to start once…Gibson has been outstanding this season, even in the 5-1 loss to Winnipeg Thursday…The Ducks best offensive player from last season, Max Comtois, has yet to pick up a point this season in four games and was a healthy scratch…
