Image hosted by Photobucket.comPoints are updated for the end of Week 3...

Jaromir Jagr's (Langdon River Dogs) hat-trick brought him to the top of the pile with six points. Jagr also added an assist on Saturday night to bring his week-best total to seven points this week. If there is one guy who is benefitting greatly from the new rules, it is certainly Jagr.

The mover & shaker this week would have to be Taffy's Tyrants with 28 points... they'll get the nod since they jumped several positions in the standings to get themselves out of the bottom. After a big night from Chris Simon last night, they moved into the top half of the standings.

Doin' the basement shuffle this week was Doug's Deadbeats. Although all but 3 Deadbeats had points, none of them collected more than two points each. The eventual return of Mats Sundin will be most welcomed as will the schedule for the Senators and Dominik Hasek should return to normal after only playing one game this past week.
Monday's News...
A shake-up on the injury front... Evgeni Nabokov (Team Chevy) will miss the Sharks' three games this week due to an upper-body injury that he suffered over the weekend. He'll be greatly missed as the teams in behind Team Chevy are now picking up the pace!

Sergei Fedorov (Maximus Orillius) missed his fifth straight game on Sunday night with a groin injury. It is unclear when he is expected to return to the Ducks line-up.

Adrian Aucoin (Langdon River Dogs) re-aggrevated his groin injury over the weekend and will continue to miss time with the Hawks. The River Dogs aren't really struggling for defenseman points, but one more guy always gives ya a better chance to make it to the top faster.

Tuomo Ruutu (THE Team) has been sitting out with a back injury that has been leaving him on the IR for what they call day-to-day. Ruutu had a pretty quick start to the season and will be sorely missed from THE Teams point totals.

Friday's News...
Keith Tkachuk (THE Team) was placed on the Injured Reserve after taking a stick in the stomach this week. He shouldn't miss too much time, but his presence will be missed on THE Team.

Ryan Smyth (Don's Dinos) returned tonight to the Oiler line-up. Good news for the Dinos.

Wednesday's News...
Well, it's official... Kenny Jonsson (Doug's Deadbeats) will be staying in Sweden this year and not returning to the Islanders this season. The word on TSN during the Islanders/Rangers game on Wednesday night was that Jonsson has been "exiled" by the club out in Sweden. Bad news for the Deadbeats early on this year.
