It was mentioned after the game that Necas is dealing with illness so Bednar reduced his minutes, especially in the 3rd because Necas was feeling worse.

So the real race here is between Drury and Mikko

They should put Hall with Rantanen. What a ridiculous game from him and Blake last night. They were completely unstoppable and I feel like Hall has elevated every line he has been on. Sad that it doesn't show up on the score sheet though. Also, from the start, I believed that Rantanen would take a while to get accustomed to this Canes system and it seems that way except his underlying stats have been amazing. Most Canes TDL acquisition take a while like Trocheck and Skjei (Both looked horrendous at first even underlying stats) and if we go way back, Reechi (7 points in 20 regular season games before playing better in the playoffs). We have seen with the players that play a fore-checking game fit in quicker like Guentzel and Niederreiter.

I wouldn't say amazing like the above poster but he's been a solid middle 6 guy. If his finishing was better he'd have quite a few more points but he's still pretty damn fast and creates chances. The team as a whole has been disjointed since the trade (and even before it a bit) and no lines have really been able to develop chemistry yet so a lot of guys switching around which doesn't help newcomers like Hall and Rantanen. It's still pretty early so I'm not all that concerned with the lack of production yet. The real test will come in the playoffs.

Honestly don't care if Hall and Rants don't score another point for the rest of the regular season as long as the Canes win games and are in good shape for the playoffs. Let's keep those extension amounts down boys.

Rantanen put up a bagel, but Necas managed an assist on a Drouin goal 2 seconds before the end of the 1st period. Drury also was involved in a shorthanded 2 on 1 that ended in a goal, but didn't get a point because Kiviranta took the shot and buried it rather than pass.

Perfect.. Necas maintains his 1 .ppg pace! Someone said he's been sick lately (flu)?
Nice goal! Just found it. Appreciate the update!
Yeah, he was sick during the previous game and Bednar slowly reduced his number of shifts as the game went along.
EDIT:
Necas buried a power play goal as I hit send on this post.

tuning in after Oilers game, hoping he has a little more left for me!
Curious if Rants gets traded?
What do you mean? The Drury vs Rantanen race is going to come right down to the wire!
That assist was pretty ridiculous. Threw it right between Georgiev's legs for an empty net goal from Drouin:
Beautiful passing play

The numbers are fantastic but more than anything Marty is FUN to watch and vey noticeable. Over the last few seasons Mikko was productive but oft invisible and incredibly frustrating.

If the trade rumour (good source) is true... Necas and Rants could meet in the playoffs! Now THAT would be a story.

So are we closing this one up and starting the Rantanen vs Stankoven points thread?
