That's good to know, thanks.

Keep in mind he likely will not hit 27 in Montreal as long as they rotate 3 scoring lines and spread out the ice time.

Just FYI, TSN released new power rankings with Habs ranked #5:

Yeah I wasn't expecting a sudden return to that level but it's nice to see him getting back on track and into fantasy relevance again, especially in multiple category leagues.

I disagree... as long as he will see PP time, as he and his linemates actually do, he has a very legit chance to hit that mark this season (prorated, of course). The PP, obviously, has to be as good as it is so far. But PP is the key...

Yes, the Habs are rolling three lines, but here are the top points getter fot the Habs at even strength:

Galchenyuk: 7 pts
Gallagher: 5 pts
Bouillon: 4 pts
Cole: 3 pts

The rest of the team has 2 or less.

Therrien might roll the lines at ES, but as long as he gives Plekanec's line its share of PP time, they will produce.

Plekanec and Gionta are about as inconsistent as it gets. If someone set an over/under on Bourque at 27 (16 in 48 games) I would gladly take the under.

Might be true for Gionta, but Plekanec and inconsistent does not belong in the same sentence. The only thing that has been inconsistent with Plekanec over the last couple of season, was the quality of his linemates.

Plekanec is awesome defensively but his offensive game can disappear. I just don't think Bourque can keep it together long enough to hit 27.

Aren't his linemates the same? He played with Bourque for much of last year. And Gionta before he got injured. According to Behind the Net, Bourque and Gionta were his two top linemates last year in 5 on 5 situation.

Gionta was injured on January 10 and missed the rest of the year... Bourque played his first game on January 15... I highly doubt they were his top linemates...
