Stock Up

Sidney Crosby
Crosby had the best statistical month of any Canadian Olympian in January, scoring 11 goals, which kept him among the league leaders and left him with a chance to match his career best of 39 before the Olympic break. Crosby's six-point night against the New York Islanders was also the single most productive outing of the season for any NHL player. About the only issue left to settle is who gets to play right wing on his line - Jarome Iginla or Patrice Bergeron, a former world junior linemate.

Stock Down

Patrice Bergeron
The only player to make the team after not attending the August orientation camp, Bergeron broke his thumb soon after he was named to the 23-man Canadian men's roster. Although he's back playing for the Boston Bruins again, he began by limiting his appearances in the faceoff circle, waiting for the thumb to get stronger. Bergeron was added to the Canadian team largely because of his faceoff ability as a right-handed shot. The hope is that between now and the start of the Games, his productivity returns to pre-Christmas levels, when he was one of the NHL's top players on the draw.
