8-12 (last in Div)
We struggled this week as Andersen crashed back down to earth, but we got to face the other expansion team, Seattle Krakens! We lead the league in Faceoff %, and have a great powerplay (5th, 20.3%) but we score the 2nd fewest goals (1.95).
We lost both LWs Jimmy Hayes and Ilya Kovalchuk for 2 months, as well as team goal leader, Emerson Etem for a couple weeks.
On the bright side, Captain Joe Thornton showed up this month, with 8 points in 10 games, leading the team in points with 12.
Free Agent Signings: RW Alex Hemsky and LW David Desharnais
