05/01/25 - Wyatt Kaiser - CHI vs NYR
That's our 50th first goal on the season as we shuffle past the halfway mark.
On top of that, Kaiser was one of our Top 5, tied for 4th before scoring his first goal.
With him out of the leaderboard, that makes way for both Gustav Olofsson and Casey Fitzgerald to comeback into an expanded Top 5. Neither have played a game this season. On the outside looking in is Florida's William Lockwood at 54 GP and has yet to play a game as well, so barring some more guys scoring their way off of the leaderboard, I don't expect too much shuffling to happen in the second half of the season.
As most teams approach the halfway mark at 41GP, we have San Jose leading the way in both Goals and Goal Differential with 5 first time goal scorers to make a +4, and the Islanders have seen the worst luck with 4 players scoring their first against. Edmonton and Seattle are currently tied for worst differential, though, at -3.
