I know there has already been 12 games played this season and Nicholas Owens has been having a great season but.... if I were to go off of the preseason stats I would not have expected that at all. In 7 games, Nicholas Owens was only have to get a single point (1 assist) to go along with a plus minus of zero, 5 giveaways (with 0 takeaways), 18 shots blocked and 7 hits off of 21 minutes a night. That's horrendous! I'm pretty sure Owens had a better preseason outing in even his rookie season! If I were to base my season prediction for my player off this, I would have expected a career low in pretty much all stats. 

As for more league related predictions, I see the great lakes once again dominating the standings. Buffalo didn't have a particularly strong preseason but the other 3 teams in the great lakes all loss 0-2 games.
