That's good, say their coaches, because they're scor- ing more points this season than they have in the past. Mike Hartman of the Buf- falo Sabres, now in his second season as a full-time National Hockey League regular, open- ed the season by having his first two-goal night as a professional. The Detroit native also was named the game's "first star" in post-game ceremonies, another professional first for Hartman, who last year set the Sabres' record for penal- ty minutes at 316 and was third in the league in major penalties. And for one game, at least, Hartman out-shone the Great Gretsky, scoring two goals in a Nov. 5 Sabres victory in which the Great One had only one point. As of Feb. 21, Hartman had nine goals and seven assists for 16 points, one shy of his entire production last season. His penalty minutes totalled 183, however; he totalled 316 in 1988-89. Hartman, previously known as an "enforcer," has become a special favorite of new Sabres coach Rick Dudley, who started his pro career with the same reputation. "Now that he's proven his toughness," Dudley said, "He has to work on his other skills . . . and he has them." The stocky Hartman has the best wrist shot among all the Sabres' forwards and he's us- ing it a lot more this season. Montreal native Ronnie Stern, another "tough-guy" forward, was up for 17 regular-season and three playoff games for the Van- couver Canucks last season and was called up from the Milwaukee Admirals of the International Hockey League even earlier this season. Since joining the Canucks, the right-winger has been in 23 games, with two goals and one assist for three points. He's also got 137 penalty minutes, second only to Van- couver's Garth Butcher. Stern had six goals and two assists in his first 13 IHL games this season, about the same pace as last year's 42 points in 45 games, along with 280 penalty minutes. j Schneider can "hold his own." Stern played 55 games for Flint in the IHL in 1987-88. Also, doing very well after being called up from the minors this year is Matt Schneider, 20-year-old rookie defenseman with the Mon- treal Canadiens. Since join- ing the NHL team 31 games ago, Schneider has six goals and eight assists for 14 points, including four power- play goals. He has had three two-goal games, the most recent being at Quebec Feb. 22, when he hit the game-winner. Schneider, who was called up for four games with the Canadiens in 1987-88, was described as "a good skater, puck-handler and shooter" by his former AHL coach, Jean Hamel. Hamel, a 12-year NHL veteran who coached Schneider at Montreal's Sher- brooke, Ontario, farm club, added the youngster from Woonsockett, R.I., "has good anticipation (and) moves the puck well. "At 6-foot-1 and 185-190, that's good size for his age and he should get stronger. He's aggressive and when he has to 'go at it' (fight), he holds his own." Among the younger players being considered NHL pro- spects is Jason Glickman, 20, who is goalie for Regina, Saskatchewan, a Detroit Red Wings farm team. Glickman, a Chicago native playing as an "over-age junior," has a record of 23 wins, 15 losses and 2 ties. As of Feb. 22, he had a 171 goals- against total with a GA average of 4.23 and a save percentage of .825. He's had 13 penalty minutes for Regina, which is in third place in the Western Hockey League at 28-25-5. Other young Jewish players in Glickman's category are David Littman, a goalie for Phoenix of the IHL, a Buffalo farm team; and Paul Cohen, a New York Islanders draftee with Winston-Salem, N.C., in the Eastern Hockey League. Two Jewish skaters in the American Hockey League who are perhaps just phone calls away from extended NHL stays are Brian Wilks and Mike Keifer. Toronto native Wilks seems to be much more important to the Edmonton Oilers than he ever was to his first profes- sional team, the Los Angeles Kings. Now playing with Cape Breton, Ontario, Wilks had seven goals and five assists in his team's first 25 games. "He's one of the best players in the AHL,"said a team of- Jason Glickman: Red Wings prospect. ficial, "and still a good NHL prospect. He's still young (23) and has a lot of talent." Wilks, a center, played last season for the Kings' AHL team in New Haven and was with the Kings for two games before his trade to Cape Breton. All told, in 56 AHL games, he scored 49 points.
