Top 30 in 30

The best 30 NHLers in the past 30 days:

	Forwards	G	A	Pts	+/-	PPG	PPA	GWG	SOG
1	Evgeni Malkin	9	17	26	6	4	8	1	50
2	Alexei Kovalev	8	11	19	1	4	6	1	46
3	Thomas Vanek	13	5	18	-1	8	2	5	54
4	Alexander Frolov	9	9	18	12	1	1	2	42
5	Jason Spezza	8	10	18	6	1	5	1	31
6	Alexander Ovechkin	10	6	16	-2	1	2	3	65
7	Radim Vrbata	9	7	16	8	1	2	2	43
8	Ryan Malone	9	7	16	3	5	1	3	33
9	Derek Roy	7	9	16	0	3	4	1	43
10	Petr Sykora	5	11	16	8	3	4	1	38

That's a whole lotta Russians.

Malkin's been incredible lately, but so have a few of his teammates, as Malone and Sykora make appearances here on the bottom. Jason Pominville and J.P. Dumont also had 16 points in the past 30 days.

	Defencemen	G	A	Pts	+/-	PPG	PPA	GWG	SOG
1	Dion Phaneuf	7	6	13	5	5	2	2	35
2	Paul Martin	2	5	7	10	1	2	1	15
3	Mark Streit	4	8	12	2	2	3	2	31
4	Toni Lydman	1	5	6	8	1	0	0	10
5	Ed Jovanovski	4	7	11	2	2	3	1	37
6	Nicklas Lidstrom	2	10	12	0	0	5	1	25
7	Dan Boyle	3	7	10	2	1	2	0	26
8	Andrej Meszaros	2	4	6	6	2	2	0	34
9	Duncan Keith	3	2	5	7	0	1	0	25
10	Brent Seabrook	1	2	3	9	0	1	0	21

Keep in mind that plus-minus counts for defencemen in these standings, which is why we get fellows who have had strong defensive months like Martin, Lydman and Seabrook showing up.

Boyle's made a nice return from injury, and Jovanovski continues his strong year.

	Goaltenders	W	GAA	SV	SV%	SHO
1	Kari Lehtonen	4	2.24	276	0.939	1
2	Ryan Miller	10	2.00	353	0.931	2
3	Jean-Sebastien Giguere	6	1.90	256	0.931	2
4	Mathieu Garon	5	2.34	269	0.928	1
5	Marty Turco	7	1.90	235	0.925	1
6	Tomas Vokoun	5	2.70	406	0.925	1
7	Martin Brodeur	7	2.36	332	0.915	0
8	Niklas Backstrom	6	2.42	258	0.915	0
9	Cam Ward	6	2.63	286	0.914	0
10	Manny Legace	6	2.42	328	0.911	1

Lehtonen's been terrific lately but just isn't getting enough help from his team these days, while Miller's been on fire for about a month and a half.

Roberto Luongo and Ty Conklin just missed out on the list.
