This list is reserved for some of the more surprising performances of the first half of the campaign.
There are those who have been given bigger roles for the first time and are exceeding expectations as a result. Others have simply been even better than previous seasons.
Aside from those who gained their hockey experience elsewhere, the names that follow will be in at least their sixth season.
Age doesn't matter, it's all about experience and a track record to follow.
