Hobey Watch Jan 30

Finally, there is some movement in the top of the Hobey Baker Watch, so lets get right to the top spot.

Nathan Davis who held the top spot has dropped for the first time since November. Who has the top spot in hockeynuts' Hobey Watch? Let's take a look.

Scott Parse F Nebraska-Omaha (SR): Where did this guy come from? Parse who found his game after an early season slump is now in the top spot. In his last ten games, Parse has moved up in the NCAA scoring race scoring eight goals while tallying six assists during that span. This weekend the Mavericks have a huge series against Michigan State.

Season Stats: 19 g, 25 a, 44 p

Nathan Davis F Miami (JR): One point in the weekend series against Notre Dame made Davis' stock go down a little bit. Davis has struggled in his last ten games scoring two goals and assisting on only five. Still plenty of time for Davis to gain some ground, including this weekend when the Redhawks travel to Alaska to face the Nanooks.

Season Stats: 16 g, 26 a, 42 p

T.J. Hensick F Michigan (SR): True he is tied for the top spot in the nation in scoring, but lately Henisick and the Wolverines have been playing the bottom teams in the CCHA for the last few weeks. This past weekend Hensick had two goals and three assists for five points. This weekend Michigan faces another cellar dweller in the CCHA as they have a home and home series with Western Michigan.

Season Stats: 12 g, 34 a, 46 p

The rest of the top five:

Joe Fallon G Vermont (JR): This weekend Fallon tied Merrimack. He could have been in the Hobey Hat Trick had that did not happen. Fallon leads the nation for the fewest goals against average and has the most shutouts than any goalie in the country.

Season Stats: 13-7-3, 1.59 gaa, .931 save pct, 5 shutouts

Kevin Porter F Michigan (JR): With a big game against Ferris State on Friday night (a five point night), Porter finds himself right back in the hockeynuts Hobey Watch. In the Wolverines last ten games, Porter has five goals and nine assists. With linemate T.J. Hensick, Porter has been getting many opportunities to do some damage.

Season Stats: 18 g, 26 a, 44 p

This weeks darkhorse:

Andrew Gordon F St. Cloud State (JR): One of the hottest teams in the nation are the St. Cloud State Huskies and Gordon is one of the main reasons why the team has been playing well. Gordon once had a stretch of seven goals in six games. The current co-leading scorer in the WCHA (along with teammate Andreas Nodl), Gordon could be a prospect to leave early after the season. This weekend Gordon and the Huskies have an off week before the stretch run.

Season Stats: 17 g, 19 a, 36 p
