Sleeper Surges: F. Xhekaj, off the map

F. Xhekaj went from no points through three games to 3 points in 4 (0.75 points per game) over the last 14 days, and D. Doughty now leads every listed player at 7 points in 5 (1.40 points per game). Below are tonight’s five new surges, the six carryovers still holding their pace, and the two names that drop off the list.

New surges

Five players running at least double their season pace across the last 14 days.

F. Xhekaj (MTL) sat at zero points through his first three games before this run, then recorded 3 points in 4 games (0.75 points per game). The brothers split the week: A. Xhekaj fell off the list yesterday.

N. Acciari (PHI) carried 1 point through 13 games (0.08 points per game) before this run. The last 14 days brought 3 points in 6 games (0.50 points per game), a ratio past the 3.0+ display cap.

K. Dach (MTL) scored 4 points in his last 4 games (1.00 points per game) after 2 points through his first 11 (0.18 points per game).

E. Cernak (TBL) posted 5 points in 5 games (1.00 points per game), up from 2 points in 11 (0.18 points per game) before the window.

M. Anderson (LAK) moved from 1 point in 9 games (0.11 points per game) to 3 points in 6 (0.50 points per game).

Still surging

Six carryovers holding 0.7 points per game or better in the current window.

D. Doughty (LAK) leads the group at 7 points in 5 games (1.40 points per game), flagged Nov 7. J. Drysdale (PHI) holds 1.17 points per game since Nov 6, and J. St. Ivany (WSH, since Nov 5), S. Vilmanis (FLA, since Nov 7) and A. Protas (WSH, since Nov 7) each sit at 1.00. E. Del Mastro (CHI) stays on at 0.75 points per game since Nov 6.

Faded off

Names that fell below the 0.7 points per game retention line.

C. Perry finished the window at 0.60 points per game and N. Perbix at 0.67, both under the 0.7 line, so both leave the list.
