Goal Drought Not A Worry For Flyers’ Gagne
Posted by TheHockeyGuy on February 2nd, 2010
Since returning from a nearly two-month absence caused by abdominal and hernia surgery, Flyers left winger Simon Gagne has shown flashes of last year’s 34-goal form. He scored a hat trick against the New York Rangers on Dec. 30.
But, for the most part, Gagne has struggled to find his rhythm. Before night’s matchup against the Calgary Flames, Gagne had not scored a goal in his last eight games, and he had managed just one goal in his last 14 contests.
Gagne is not alarmed.
“It’s not the first time I’m going through something like this,” he said, “but we’re winning and that’s what’s most important.”
The 29-year-old Gagne entered the game with six goals and 14 assists in 29 games.
“I just have to keep shooting and keep going to the net,” he said. “Maybe get a dirty goal or a lucky goal and that will get the confidence going.”
Missing nearly two months, he conceded, has contributed to his scoring slump.
“At some point, it will catch up with you,” he said. “You need time to get in game shape and get your timing going. The good thing is, I’m getting the chances.”
