Fabulous Faust gives struggling offense boost
Andre Faust, a Princeton University graduate with a degree in economics, arrived in Philadelphia just in time to bolster the Flyers’ sagging numbers. The Flyers scored just 26 goals in their previous 14 games and needed someone to ignite the offense. Faust, a 24-year-old center/left winger, did just that. He was recalled from the Hershey Bears of the American League Jan. 11. Faust scored a goal with 5:06 to play to break a 1-1 tie and send the Flyers to a 4-1 win over the Ottawa Senators. Two nights later, he assisted on a pair of goals to pace the Flyers to a 6-2 win over the Boston Bruins. In Faust’s first four games, the Flyers scored 17 goals. “That was great,” said Eric Lindros of Faust’s goal against Ottawa. “When we needed it,…
Smith on hot seat as team struggles
With his team floundering in the Central Division standings, Winnipeg Jets’ general manager Mike Smith was faced with rumors that he would be fired. Team president and part owner Barry Shenkarow did little to dispel stories in the Winnipeg Free Press that indicated he was about to fire Smith.

The club issued a weak statement Jan. 15, stating no action was being contemplated at the time, but Shenkarow was given several opportunities over the weekend…
Harder, Auger join hunt for top freshman honors
When the topic of conversation centers on the top freshmen in the Eastern College Athletic Conference, four names always come up. Vermont Catamounts Eric Perrin and Martin St-Louis, Troy Stevens of the Union College Skating Dutchmen and Clarkson Golden Knight J.F. Houle were touted as impact players prior to the season. All have lived up to that billing. But two other players have emerged as contenders for top rookie honors. Colgate Red Raiders’ right winger Mike Harder has surprised, playing a key role in the Raiders’ resurgence. He was the league’s top scoring freshman, with seven goals and 13 points in eight games. Cornell Big Red winger Vincent Auger, meanwhile, has done everything but sell popcorn at intermission. He had just two goals and seven points in 12 games, but the Quebec Nordiques’ draft pick…
