The third Round: Former NCAA Hockey Players (6/03/2013)

Here is the list of NHL hockey players that are currently playing in the second round of the 2013 Stanley Cup Playoffs that have played Division I college.

The players are listed by their NHL team. These are players that have played in at least “one” Stanley Cup Playoff game during in the 2013 Stanley Cup Playoffs. I have also listed their point totals as well.

This list doesn’t include players from teams that have been eliminated. The list doesn’t include players that are currently injured, or on their teams roster, but haven’t played in the Stanley Cup Playoff games yet.  I will update the list as much as I can.

Points lead third round

The third round is officially under way. Former Vermont Catamount Patrick Sharp (8g-6a—14pts) is the leader in the club house.  Former Wisconsin Badgers and current San Jose Sharks forward Joe Pavelski (4g-8a—12pts) hangs on to second place, but his team was eliminated from the Stanley Cup Playoffs by the defending Stanley Cup Champions

Here’s how the rest of the top six places for former college hockey players; currently playing in the Stanley Cup playoffs shakes out.

All alone, in third place, former Michigan State Spartan and current Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Duncan Keith (1g-9a—10pts).

Currently, there is a three way tie for fourth place. The Pittsburgh Penguins have a pair of former college hockey players, former Gopher defenseman Paul Martin (2g-7a—9pts) is tied with his teammate former Ferris State Bulldog forward Chris Kunitz (4g-5a—9pts). Also, in fourth place, former Wisconsin Badgers Ottawa Senators forward Kyle Turris (6g-3a—9pts).  Turris’ spot in the top four is temporary, because his Stanley Cup Playoffs are over; the Senators were eliminated by the top seeded Pittsburgh Penguins in round two, four games to one.  

Leader Board (National Hockey League rank in parentheses)
1. (6) Patrick Sharp, F, Vermont, 14GP, (8g-6a—14pts)

Badgers king in this year’s 2013 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs.

The Wisconsin Badgers are well represented in the 2013 Stanley Cup Playoffs; if my math is correct they have six players that are still currently playing in the second round of the SCP.
