Every Monday morning Adam Gretz and Chris Botta recap the week in the NHL. CALDER TROPHY WATCH
No, you can't win NHL Rookie of the Year based on one month, but here are a few youngsters off to impressive starts:
1. Jeff Skinner, Carolina Hurricanes: A few teams may already regret letting the smooth finisher slip all the way to the tenth overall pick in the June draft. No one expected Skinner to produce out of the gate like this: six goals and nine assists for 15 points in 17 games. Better yet, he has earned the trust of Paul Maurice, who is giving the 18-year-old almost 17 minutes of ice-time per game.
2. Sergei Bobrovsky, Philadelphia Flyers: 10-2-1 with a 2.08 GAA and .932 save percentage, the rookie Russian goaltender is one of the great early-season surprises of the league. How BOB fares when he hits his first rough patch will say a lot about whether he'll be in the Calder race from beginning to end.
