Earlier today, I was ruminating on how Jason Spezza has hardly been paired with much goal-scoring talent this year. His linemates have been of the Faksa/Roussel/Korpikoski/Sharp variety, so it’s been, to some extent, little wonder that he’s not scored at the same pace as last year.
Cut to tonight, and voila! Goals, goals, goals. Not only did Spezza score a 5v5 goal for the first time since November 1st, but he added two assists as well. There’s something about playing your best players with the best players, even if it means your other lines look a little thin.
