10/20/2011 17:09 Neutral Zone Wrap: A hot and cold beginning
Florida doesn't look as horrible as first suspected and keep an eye on Montreal's Max Pacioretty. Evan Berofsky breaks down the early season studs and duds in his weekly Neutral Zone Wrap.
Upshall cracked the 20-goal mark (22) for the first time in his career last season, splitting time between the Coyotes and the Blue Jackets.
