With two goals today against Carolina, Marian Hossa has climbed into a fifth place tie in league scoring with Pavel Datsyuk. He's also tied for sixth in goals. He's on pace for a career year. But the strange thing is that he hasn't really played that well lately. Not to say he hasn't played well but he hasn't been dominating like he can. When he's on his game he's scoring goals by dominating down low or blowing past defencemen to go in alone. Right now most of his goals are coming from one timing feeds or shots on the outer part of the slot.

He hasn't even been the best forward on his team. Daniel Alfredsson has outplayed him for the past month.

Inevitably Hossa will get hot though. He's only 3 points off the scoring lead. He's only 4 goals off the scoring league. So when he does get hot, he might end up doing what Iginla did two years ago. He'll lead the league in points and goals.
