We’re somewhere between a quarter to a third of the way through the season, so I thought it would be interesting to list and rank some of the surprises so far.
Which are candidates to regress to the mean, and which are for real?
What did I miss?

What did I miss?
Surprisingly good:
- The Bruins - of course we all knew it, but I think there were doubters?
- Canucks, Caps, Coyotes: The “C” teams!
- Frank Vatrano: Leading the Ducks in scoring, tied with Pasta and Syd in goals!
- The Kings: 9-0-0 on the road
Surprisingly bad:
- The Oilers: 4 points fewer than the Habs but maybe, just maybe, they are turning it around?
- Ovi: 5 goals so far! Same as Mike Matheson of the Habs.
- Huberdeau: 51-point pace. Buy low candidate for the Habs?
- The Devils: Tied with the lowly Habs??
- The Leafs: 5 regulation wins - only the Habs have fewer.
- Matt Tkachuk: Only 4 goals. Juston Barron of the Habs has more!
