What It Means:

Both goals were in the first period, and they were enough to salt this game away against the punchless Oilers. The first goal was a sheer hustle play on a rebound shot off his own stick. The second marker was a pretty sniper on the power play, up high on Oilers' goalie Cam Talbot. Couture is officially healthy and has been rolling since returning to the lineup. He has 10 goals and 27 points in 36 games. Joe Pavelski scored his team leading 31st of the season and added an assist, as well.

We project Couture to net three more goals and dish out five more assists this season. His -3.3 Relative Corsi For Percentage at Even Strength is a career-low clip while his 51.9 Corsi For Percentage ties for the second-worst mark of his career.
