It's not hard to fly under the radar in Pittsburgh.
The club has some of the most gifted offensive talents around, but very quickly Conor Sheary is emerging from the shadows as yet another goal-scoring dynamo for the Penguins.
With another sizzling performance on Sunday - that saw Sheary net two goals and add an assist against the Boston Bruins - the 24-year-old is now up to 17 goals and 34 points in 39 games this season.
Sheary can really thank a recent hot streak for his dramatic shot up the scoring ranks. Thanks to Sunday's output, Sheary is now riding a four-game point streak that includes three two-goal games and sees him with nine points in that span.
However, it doesn't stop there. Since Dec. 27 - a stretch of 11 games - Sheary has amassed 15 points. He has also matched John Tavares of the New York Islanders for the most goals in the month of January (eight) and has the second-highest points per game total this month - with Patrik Laine's inflated six points in three games leading the way.
Of course, Sheary has had the chance to play alongside Sidney Crosby which has certainly helped in his production. Nevertheless, Sheary is firing on all cylinders - like it seems everyone is doing these days in Pittsburgh - and is just another reason why the Penguins cold be poised to repeat as Stanley Cup champs this spring.
