How many points will Phil Kessel Jersey Ottawa Senators defenceman Erik Karlsson finish with? The third-year blue-liner has put together an impressive season with 15 goals and 66 points with 18 games remaining. He's tied for sixth in the overall scoring race. Can he become the first defenceman to finish in the top 10 since Paul Coffey in 1994-95? Can he check in with the most points in a season by a defenceman since the 2004-05 lockout? Detroit captain Nicklas Lidstrom currently has the honour at 80 points in 2005-06. The Montreal Canadiens and Tim Thomas Jersey Toronto Maple Leafs seem destined to miss the playoffs. But how low could these storied franchises fall in the Eastern Conference standings in the next five weeks? The original six rivals have only missed the playoffs in the same season on four previous occasions - 1919-20, 1925-26, 1969-70 and 2006-07. They meet on Hockey Night in Canada on Saturday.Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall says a National Hockey League franchise for Saskatoon is “hypothetical” but that the province could support an NHL team.“Obviously, this is very hypothetical and pretty speculative,” Wall told BNN from London, England, where he’s promoting economic development.“I’m pretty biased -- I would wonder why the NHL is not already in Canada’s greatest province. Zdeno Chara Jersey We produce more per capita NHL players than anywhere else in the country. It’s a hot bed of hockey and we’ve got great junior teams ... It’s pretty speculative at this point but, like I said, I’m surprised the NHL is not there already.“If Winnipeg can do it, I like our chances.”The province supported arena improvements to CUC for the 2010 world junior hockey championship and has helped with rink upgrades for some junior facilities. But there is no commitment to help upgrade CUC Jason Pominville Jersey if an NHL team were to call the Bridge City home.“I don’t make that comment on the NHL speculation,” Wall said.
