Seventeen points in 13 games is worth noticing, and the NHL has done so.
The League named Predators winger Filip Forsberg the Second Star of the Month for his contributions in February, statistically the best month of Forsberg's career. His 17 points over 28 days in just 13 games marks his highest point total for a single month, but it's the tear he's been on for the last week and a half that has his peers in awe.
Forsberg is currently riding a six-game point streak with 14 of his 17 points in the month coming during that span. Forsberg has goals in five-straight games - 10 tallies to be exact - becoming the first player to record 10 goals in five games since Pavel Bure did it in January of 2001. Three of those goals have been of the game-winning variety, including Tuesday's overtime winner in Buffalo to give Nashville points in six consecutive outings.
