CFHL Update #4: The Week of the Krampus

 It was the week of the Krampus....Krampus Carols that is.  They dominated the week leading all teams for the week in goals, assists and goalie wins.  

So let's take a look at last week's action...

Like I was saying the Krampus led the league for the week in goals, scoring 12 of them in their defeat of the Puck 4-1-1.  Draisaitl had 6 of them!  They also tied the league with 20 assists for the week as Tyson Barrie led his team with 5 helpers.  Oh, and the Krampus tied for most goalie wins for the week with 4.  The Puck had a league leading SV% of .951 which was all Varlamov.

Now the Crew also had 12 goals, but instead of a win, they lost to the Mayhem on Ice 2-3-1, a disappointing loss for the Goon Crew looking to try to get in the top 6 for the playoffs.  They currently are tied with the Puck for the last playoff spot.  Mayhem are now one point ahead of them. 

Tied with the Krampus for the week in assists was the White Mambas, who surprised the Assassins 4-2.  Morgan Rielly led the White Mambas with 2 goals, 3 assists and 1 PPP.  Assassins are in the battle for the playoffs with a one point lead over the Crew and the Puck.

The Soviets upset the league leading Checkers 4-0-2 with a big game from their Senators Tkachuk and Batherson on Sunday.  They, per usual, led the league in hits for the week with 63.  Brady Tkachuk had 22 hits!  The USSR are 5 points out of the playoffs, but this win went a long way to get them back in the hunt.

Apparently Tkachuk can score too

And also per usual the California Raisins were at the top of the league in goalie wins with 4 getting 2 each from Jarry and Vasilevskiy in their 3-2-1 victory over the Skull Crushers, who suddenly paid attention to their line up and was at least respectable this week...

Skater of the Week:  Leon Draisaitl, Krampus Carols, 6 goals, 3 assists, 4 PPP and 4 hits

Goalie of the Week:  Philipp Grubauer, Krampus Carols, 3 wins and .932 SV%
