Necas has been on fire and anyone in the NHL could have had him.
We’re almost 20 games into the NHL regular season and nobody has been a bigger surprise than Martin Necas of the Carolina Hurricanes. The 25-year-old center is on a heater, with 11 goals and 19 assists in 17 games, ranking third in the league in points scored, and he’s got 21 points in his last 10 for good measure.
A Necas breakout season isn’t that surprising in isolation.
