November 5 Sleeper Surges: J. St. Ivany, off the map

The top of tonight’s board has no ceiling: Washington’s J. St. Ivany and Montreal’s J. Evans are off the map, each turning a scoreless start to the season into roughly a point a game over the last two weeks, and Toronto’s B. Duhaime, T. Blueger and Z. MacEwen carry the same infinite ratio one notch down. What follows is each run in turn, then the full surge board with the rule behind it.

J. St. Ivany has skated into four points in four games for Washington, a full point a game from the blue line. Before the window he had four games and no points this season, which leaves his ratio without a printable number.

J. Evans woke up in Montreal the same way, five points over six games at 0.83 per game after nine scoreless games to open the year. The center’s window is the liveliest of the group in raw points.

Toronto supplies the rest of the top five and all share the same profile. B. Duhaime went from eleven quiet games to four points in six. T. Blueger, also at four points in six after eleven blank games, has done it at center. Z. MacEwen needed fewer games to matter: five pointless contests before the window, four points inside it.

Sleeper rule: season baseline of 0.3 PPG or less, running at double it over the last 14 days. Once listed, a player stays on this board until his 14-day pace drops below 0.7 PPG, even if the streak itself pulls his season number above 0.3. Window: 2026-10-22 to 2026-11-04.
