Thomas Vanek is good

Back in February when Thomas Vanek's linemate Maxim Afinogenov was lost for the regular season with a broken wrist, I wondered what kind of affect this would have on Vanek, who was having a breakout season.

In the 17 games since Max's injury, Vanek has 18 points and has been +11 - shooting him up to +41 for the year, which currently leads the league.

I guess he's done alright.
