Top 10 forwards who haven’t scored a goal yet

10. Brandon Dubinsky (Columbus). Rangers fans may recall it took Dubinsky 15 games to score his first goal last season. A change of scenery doesn’t appear to have helped the 26-year-old rediscover the form that saw him score 24 times in 2010-11.

9. Devin Setoguchi (Minnesota). In a related story, welcome to the fourth line.

8. Henrik Sedin (Vancouver). Granted, he’s typically been the set-up man for brother Daniel. But Henrik also has just five assists in the Canucks’ first eight games, and only two of those helpers came even strength.

7. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (Edmonton). Like Henrik Sedin, he’s more of a play-maker than sniper; however, he still managed 18 goals as an 18-year-old rookie. Meanwhile, another Oilers center, Sam Gagner, is off to a great start (3G, 6A).

6. Ryane Clowe (San Jose). Not that it’s been a problem for the 7-0-1 Sharks. But Clowe might want to start padding his stats with more than penalty minutes, given he’s in a contract year.

5. Mike Richards (Los Angeles). The Kings have really been struggling to put the puck in the net. Sort of like they did last season. And then they won the Stanley Cup.

4. Drew Stafford (Buffalo). Remember when he scored 31 goals? Yeah, that was only two seasons ago.

3. Jordan Staal (Carolina). Many thought the four-time 20-goal-scorer would flourish once he got out from the under the shadows of Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin. To be fair, Staal does have six assists, and he has important defensive responsibilities.

2. Jarome Iginla (Calgary). The captain has scored at least 32 goals in 11 straight seasons. If he’s not scoring, it’s hard for the Flames to win. And they’re not. (Honorable Calgary mention: Mike Cammalleri, also with no goals.)

1. Phil Kessel (Toronto). It’s gotten to the point of ridiculous in Toronto. Kessel has the third most shots in the NHL (36), and not one of them has gone in. There’s even a “Kessel countdown clock” now, right down to the millisecond.

Other notables: Alex Steen (St. Louis), Frans Nielsen (NY Islanders), RJ Umberger (Columbus).

LOL at the notables...haha sorry.

David Setaguchi...nothing agaisnt this kid. But he's proving the age old theory that when you play with the best passer in the world(Joe Thornton), you score. Please see Jonathan Cheechoo an Glen Murray. Twpo guys with big seasons playing with Big Joe. seteguchi can skate, but to expect him to be a sniper is a bit of a stretch.

Henrik is Henrik. The guy is lucky to hit 20 goals in an 82 game season, so to expect goals from him is kind of seondary. He is playing good hockey, so thats something.

And my Jarome...the guy always starts off horrible then picks it up. I just wish thee was someone on the team capable of scoring the odd goal other then jerome.

Phis Kessel...

Mike Richards...

Seto was moved to the 4th line (with Granlund) for last nights game and I have to say that it was probably the best line for the Wild. They showed the most hunger and obviously wanted to prove a point. Seto is constantly being linked in trade rumours so I wouldn't be surprised if he's moved soon to allow Zucker to come up.

Speaking of trade rumours...Iginla to the Flyers?? that's what I've read. Honestly cannot see that happening though and like you I'm sure he will be back lighting it up soon.

Not even sure what is happening with Kessel at the moment. To have that many shots and not score is mind blowing. Naturally, he will score soon but that weight on his shoulders must be hurting real bad.

The worse thing about being Kessel right now is he's a maple leaf. Not knocking the (piece of crap shiity ass) team or anything, but the fans are brutal. They are by far the most savage and ruthless fans there are, and when Kessel scoring hes a god in Toronto...but when he's not, they want him shipped out of the city like the rest of the garbage, I actually feel bad for him.

As for Iginla, well I hope they o trade him, they can get a couple young players and/or picks for him so why not, let the rebuild begin lol.
