TORONTO â It must be the sticks. Ryan Zimmerman Jersey . Off to the best start of his NHL career, a furious 16-game pace which has seen him vault atop the league charts in both goals (12) and points (23), Phil Kessel is soaring to new and previously unexplored heights. But ask the 24-year-old, a native of Madison, Wisconsin, whats fueling this rapid rise to the elite ranks of hockey and he can point to only one thing. "I changed my sticks," he told the Leaf Report, almost elatedly. "Thats it! Changed my sticks, thats it." Kessel isnt one to dissect the ins and outs of finding the back of the net. Hes been bred to score, does so with almost natural ease and like a great magician, has no real interest in explaining it. "Well, Im getting a couple good bounces right now," he said. "When you get good bounces it makes it easy." Truth is theyve never gone in quite this fast or economically for Kessel. His shooting percentage is up to a blistering 23.1 per cent, well above his previous career-high of 15.5 per cent â a mark he set in his final season with Boston, a 36-goal campaign. The improved efficiency is directly tied to his shot quantity; Kessel is shooting the puck far less this season than he has in past years. Hes on pace for 267 shots, 58 fewer than the 325 he fired a year ago (nearly one less per game). "Sometimes you can get all the bounces and nothings going in," he said. "Just depends on how its going and right now theyre going in." How high Kessel will rise this season is uncertain at this early stage in the season. Only ten players have hit the 50-goal mark since the lockout, with a mere three â Alexander Ovechkin, Ilya Kovalchuk and Dany Heatley â doing so more than once. Ron Wilson coached the most unusual name in the bunch, then-Sharks sniper Jonathan Cheechoo, who led the league with 56 goals in 2005-06, only to disappear from sight a few years later. Wilson also presided over the likes of Teemu Selanne (three seasons with over 50), Paul Kariya (one season with 50), and Peter Bondra (two seasons with over 50). He sees Kessel â a three-time 30-goal-scorer â ascending in a similar direction, but who hasnt arrived there just yet. "I think he certainly has the potential to be a sniper like Peter Bondra was," said Wilson. "Theres no reason to think that he shouldnt be scoring 40 goals every single year and maybe more. But our games different now. Thats why you only see maybe one 50-goal scorer a year. "Its harder to score and if anybody can do it I think its Phil. Hes got the potential and hes fulfilling it right now." Matthew Lombardi played with one of the few 50-goal men of the post-lockout era, Flames captain Jarome Iginla, a 52-goal-scorer in 2001-02. He notes one common link between the two. "Theyre obviously two pretty unbelievable scorers," he explained to the Leaf Report, "and I think thats what separates those guys is they dont just do it for a couple games; they just keep doing it night in, night out. Its obviously impressive to watch." Consistency, Wilson maintains, is what will elevate Kessel to the next stratosphere of goal-scorer, from a regular 30-goal man to the heights of 40 and beyond. "Just be consistent and not have elongated slumps," said Wilson. "I think Phils proven that [this season]; you go a couple games without a goal then you score a goal; its not score five goals in five games and then go ten without a goal. Youve got to be consistent. You dont have to score every game, but you have to put them up, a goal a week, two goals a week and stuff like that." Its not hard to spot the impact Joffrey Lupul has made running shotgun with Kessel. It took until January 1 last season â 37 games â for Kessel to reach his current mark of 11 assists, a bright sign of the symmetry hes established with the 28-year-old Lupul (eight goals, 18 points). "Hes had a great start," said Kessel. "Hes played extremely well and Bozie (Tyler Bozak) and TC (Tim Connolly) have both played well in between us; were just trying to keep going." "Joffreys turning into a power forward," noted Wilson. "Before you wouldnt necessarily have called him a power forward, but now he seems like hes a lot stronger â hes in great shape â hes going to the net hard, hes mucking it up in the corners and hes capable of carrying the puck down the ice and then making a play over to Phil and drawing the attention away from Phil." Whats been evident as a result is the variety of goals Kessel has scored this season. "Phils goals in the past have been generally getting the puck somewhere just inside our blue line, going to coast to coast and scoring a goal," said Wilson. "Now Phils goals are around the net, off to the left side, sometimes the right and its just not rush goals." Summarizing the performance of his teammate so far this fall, Lombardis eyes widen in admiration. "Hes got so much talent, like one of the best shooters Ive seen," concluded the veteran forward. "Its pretty cool to see him go. He kind of makes it look easy out there which is pretty scary." Brandon Crawford Jersey . TSN Hockey Insider Bob McKenzie is reporting the extension is worth $24 million. In 18 games with the Kings this season the 27-year-old Martinez has scored two goals and added five assists. Matt Holliday Cardinals Jersey . -- Kyle Williams spent the morning meeting with coaches, squeezed in a little time to get fitted for his new uniform, and then headed out to the practice field for an afternoon workout.Boston, MA (SportsNetwork.com) - Nazem Kadri scored the deciding goal of the shootout as the Toronto Maple Leafs prevailed with a 4-3 win over the Boston Bruins. Mike Santorelli, Torontos first shooter, made several quick moves before shooting the puck through the legs of Tuukka Rask for a good goal. Torey Krug tied the shootout with a quick wrister over the glove of Jonathan Bernier in the second round. Kadri opened the fifth round by shuffling a backhander off Rasks pad and through his legs to put the Maple Leafs ahead, and David Krejci missed the net for Boston to end the game. That was probably as good of a win as we are going to have all year, said Kadri. Phil Kessel notched his 500th career point after finishing with a goal and an assist, while James van Riemsdyk and Leo Komarov also scored as the Maple Leafs ended a two-game skid. Bernier stopped 25 shots in the win. Carl Soderberg had a goal and an assist, Krejci and Krug also lit the lamp and Rask stopped 18 shots for the Bruins, who were coming off a 5-2 win over Detroit on Monday. Boston stormed back to tie the game with two goals late in the second period. Krejcis offering went off Toronto defenseman Cody Franson and into the net with 4:32 to play and less than two minutes later, Krugs cross-crease dish went off Komarovs skate and into the net for a 3-3 contest heading into the third. The Maple Leafs survived a late onslaught and the game went to overtime as Bernier made nine saves and Rask made just two. Willie Stargell Jersey . Boston continued its strong play by outshooting Toronto 4-0 in the extra session, but was unable to convert. Toronto started the scoring midway through the opening period as Peter Holland wrestled the puck off a defender below the goal line and sent a pass to the slot, where Komarov beat Rask with a quick shot just inside the right post. Each team scored within the first minute of the middle stanza. Soderberg tied the game just 17 seconds into the frame as he deflected Reilly Smiths point shot in front. The puck trickled through Berniers pads and Soderberg swiped it into the net for a power-play goal. Kessel raced into the offensive zone and sent a pass from the right faceoff dot to van Riemsdyk, who tapped the puck through the pads of Rask from the slot for a 2-1 score 31 seconds later. Kessel extended Torontos lead to 3-1 on the power play as he skated up to the left circle and wristed a shot off the pipe and past Rask at 9:45. Game Notes Maple Leafs forward Joffrey Lupul left the game with a lower-body injury and did not return ... Komarov played for the first time since Nov. 29 after missing time with a concussion ... Boston forwards Patrice Bergeron and Milan Lucic both returned to the lineup after sitting on Mondays win over Detroit with undisclosed injuries ... Bruins forward Loui Eriksson played in his 600th NHL game ... The two teams will conclude the season series on Apr. 4 at TD Garden.
