We're airing some grievances in this week's edition of "On the Fly," theScore's Friday NHL roundtable series. Below are four players taking an axe to our respective fantasy teams, and we're not pleased about it. Oh, and Happy Holidays.

Patrice Bergeron

Ian McLaren: Hopes were high in regards to Patrice Bergeron this season, and for good reason.

From 2013-14 through 2015-16, the versatile Boston Bruins center averaged 29 goals and 62 points, marking some of the most offensively productive seasons of his career.

Through 32 games this season, however, Bergeron is well off that pace, having recorded only five goals and five assists. His shooting percentage is well below his career average, meaning the puck is bound to start going in at some point. But what's most baffling is the fact he's playing with Brad Marchand and David Pastrnak, who are both posting solid numbers. So where are the assists?

At this rate, he'll be good for 12 goals and 25 points, which is flat-out unacceptable for a player drafted in higher rounds.

Bergeron did score Thursday against Florida, and hopefully that's a sign of things to come.

Evgeny Kuznetsov

Craig Hagerman: If you're unfortunate enough to have Evgeny Kuznetsov on your fantasy team, you're likely less than impressed with his production this season. If you used a spot in a keeper league on Kuznetsov and can no longer drop him, then you're really ailing - trust me, I know.

After a career-high 20 goals and 77 points in 82 games last season, when he led the Capitals in scoring, Kuznetsov's limped through the first three months of 2016-17.

He's got just three goals and 17 points through 31 games, putting him on pace to net only seven goals and 44 points - 33 fewer than last season. He has just four power-play points, no game-winning goals, and is also on pace to record nearly 50 fewer shots than last season.

Making matters worse, his trade value isn't very high at the moment, while the concept of giving him away for nothing is hard to justify, with the ever-possible chance the 24-year-old turns things around - something fantasy owners must be praying happens soon.

Kyle Palmieri

Navin Vaswani: Never put your faith in a Devil.

Kyle Palmieri was money in 2015-16. Dude scored 30 goals and led New Jersey in points with 57. And it wasn't even close. Adam Henrique's 50 was the next best on the Devils.

It was a good story, too: After back-to-back 14-goal seasons in Anaheim, the latter in only 57 games, Palmieri finally got a chance to play top-six minutes and rewarded the Devils' faith in him. A career 11.4 percent shooter, he was at 13.5 percent last year - it clearly wasn't all luck.

But, maybe it was. Palmieri's got five goals in 31 games, only three on the power play after 11 PPGs in '15-16, his shooting 8.5 percent, and his ice time's down, too. Even his Corsi's down, from 45.33 percent to 44.44 percent. It's literally all bad.

The most painful part: I drafted him in the second round of a 20-team keeper league (four per team), in which drafting successfully is paramount, ahead of Mats Zuccarello, Ryan Suter, Kyle Turris, Rick Nash, Jeff Skinner, David Pastrnak (that one really hurts), Nazem Kadri, Jakob Silfverberg, Ryan Kesler, Nikolaj Ehlers, and Marian Hossa.

The list goes on and on and on and on. I hate myself.

Dylan Larkin

Cory Wilkins: Dylan Larkin has a bad case of the sophomore slump.

The Detroit Red Wings forward has hit an offensive wall through his second pro season, coming away with just 12 points through the first 33 games of the season.

It's a major downfall from the 45-point campaign the rookie sensation put up with the Red Wings last year, when he finished at a 0.56 points per game pace.

This season, that number has hit the skids, with Larkin firing well below, at 0.36. While the goals are still there - he has 10 already, and is actually on pace for two more than last season - the helpers have been nearly non-existent, as Larkin has just a pair of assists on the year.

Whether that's on Larkin or his linemates is left to be determined, but no doubt more was expected from Larkin after he made the quick jump to the NHL as a 19-year-old.

Evidently, Ray Shero has the room.

In their first game since Shero pleaded that his team compete harder, the New Jersey Devils showed the requisite tough their general manager demanded in a dominant performance over the Philadelphia Flyers Thursday night.

Three line brawls broke out in the first period alone, with the Devils responding to cheap shots in each. And after the teams racked up 80 minutes in penalties, the Devils had limited the Flyers to 16 shots in a 4-0 victory.

"You could tell the emotions, the passion, and commitment were there," Cory Schneider, who earned the shutout, told NHL.com's Mike G. Morreale.

"I think we're just tired of losing, just tired of not winning. That could manifest itself in a lot of ways and (Thursday) it was a positive."

P.A. Parenteau added, "It's nice to get back on track and play some good, hard hockey. There's no reason to believe we can't play like this more often. This was a tough stretch and no one was happy in this locker room."

Leading goal scorer Mike Cammalleri was one of the combatants for New Jersey, his third career fight underscoring the investment put forth, and precisely the response Shero wanted to counteract an opponent looking to bully its way to two points.

"Now it's one win, we haven't accomplished anything by any means. But I think we got the message," Parenteau told Andrew Gross of The Record.

From former colleagues, NHL greats, peers, and teammates, adulation poured in for Jaromir Jagr, who accomplished something truly spectacular Thursday night with his 1,888th career point, becoming the NHL's second-leading scorer of all-time.

And it was Mark Messier, the legend eclipsed, who got things started.

The NHL offseason offers the opportunity for general managers to reshape their rosters. While some moves turn out to be the perfect fit, other buys often leave GMs scrambling for the receipt.

Here are three players who are not fitting in with their new squads:

Andrew Ladd

The New York Islanders GM Garth Snow should call for a mulligan after signing veteran forward Andrew Ladd to a seven-year, $38.5-million deal in the offseason.

To say Ladd has struggled in his first year in Brooklyn would be an understatement. With just four goals and three assists on the season, this wasn't what the Islanders had in mind when they splurged in the summer.

Ladd's play is a stark difference from the consistency he saw in the last five seasons with the Winnipeg Jets, where his point totals floated between 46 and 62. And at 31 years old, his best days are already in the rearview mirror.

To make matters worse, New York passed on re-signing Kyle Okposo, who was a fit with the Islanders and has seen early success with his new club, the Buffalo Sabres, already potting 22 points. That's would be good for second on the Islanders, who sit last in the East. Okposo's new deal pays $500,000 more than Ladd, but seemingly comes with some production.

Brian Elliott

The discussion point of taking Brian Elliott out of St. Louis and away from Blues coach Ken Hitchcock to see it all unravel appears to have some merit.

After a draft day deal sent him to Calgary, the veteran netminder has quickly seen his season go up in flames. Last year's save percentage leader, coming in at .930, Elliott has leaked goals through his first season with the Flames. Through 15 games, Elliott has come away with just four wins, while his save percentage has tumbled to an ugly .889.

That performance planted Elliott on the bench and saw journeyman goaltender Chad Johnson run with the starter's role, who has grabbed 13 wins on the season.

At the season's beginning, the Flames initiated extension talk with Elliott, a pending unrestricted free agent, but given his lagging performance this campaign, the Flames could change routes. That would leave Elliott to explore the market for a new crease next season.

Mikkel Boedker

After eight seasons with the Arizona Coyotes, the club that drafted him eight overall in 2008, Mikkel Boedker very quickly went from the only team he'd ever known to now being on his third team.

The Coyotes flipped Boedker to the Colorado Avalanche at last year's deadline, and he put up respectable numbers in Denver, tallying 12 points in 18 games. But that performance didn't follow him to Silicon Valley, after agreeing to a four-year contract with the San Jose Sharks this summer.

With just six points on the season, Boedker is on pace for the worst campaign of his career, a far cry from the career-year he put up in 2013-14, when he finished with 19 goals and 32 assists. No doubt the Sharks aren't getting bang for their buck on the $4-million salary they handed to the Danish forward.

Such a performance could see Boedker quickly move on to his fourth team, should the Sharks choose to cut ties by leaving the streaky winger exposed for the Vegas expansion draft.

Don't worry - Nikolaj Ehlers doesn't need a lot of room.

The Winnipeg Jets' 20-year-old forward showed off his skill in tight on the power play Thursday, going roof on Vancouver Canucks goaltender Ryan Miller.

The goal was Ehlers' second of the game and ninth of the season, as the Jets won 4-1.

Patrik Laine scored his 19th of the season in the second period, which Ehlers drew an assist on.

It's bad in Denver. Very, very bad.

The Colorado Avalanche were shut out for the second time in three nights Thursday, falling to the lowly Toronto Maple Leafs 6-0 on home ice. It was the Avs' fifth straight loss, as their nightmare December continues.

Jared Bednar's crew is 2-9 this month, and up next is Chicago, Calgary, Dallas, and the New York Rangers.

"I'd be lying if I said it wasn't frustrating right now," captain Gabriel Landeskog said after Thursday's whipping, according to the Denver Post's Mark Kiszla. "It's probably as frustrating as it's ever been."

Nathan MacKinnon, second on the club with 21 points, was straightforward in his assessment of the team.

"We have no chemistry," he said.

MacKinnon was also candid Thursday morning about his club's struggles, and that makes what happened Thursday night even more stunning.

"It's embarrassing," MacKinnon said, according to the Denver Post's Terry Frei. "Even like waving at the security people around the rink, it's like ... I'm sure they're disappointed in us, being in last.

"It wears on you. I'd be lying if I said it didn't," he added. "We're very thankful to play this game and we're lucky and fortunate. But when you lose this much, it's a horrible feeling, whether you're in bantam or the NHL. ... We need to have a good game (Thursday night), that's all we can really focus on."

Imagine what MacKinnon's going to say Friday.

The Avalanche are completely lost. Where they go from here will be one of the more fascinating storylines to watch as the season progresses. Every night can't be rock bottom.

DENVER - Nazem Kadri scored twice, Frederik Andersen stopped 38 shots for his first shutout this season and the Toronto Maple Leafs routed the last-place Colorado Avalanche 6-0 on Thursday night.

Auston Matthews scored his team-leading 16th goal to get the Maple Leafs started in the first period. James van Riemsdyk had a goal and an assist, and Connor Brown and Frederik Gauthier also scored for Toronto.

Andersen earned his seventh career shutout, and it was an easy one for the NHL veteran. The Maple Leafs scored five goals in 21:29 spanning the first and second periods, starting with Matthews' goal at 7:13 of the first.

Gauthier's first goal of the season at 8:42 of the second ended Semyon Varlamov's night. The Colorado goalie allowed five goals on 18 shots and was replaced by Calvin Pickard.

Pickard made 12 saves for the Avalanche, who are 0-7-1 in their last eight home games. They have lost five straight overall.

Kadri scored a power-play goal in the third, his 13th.

NOTES: Maple Leafs C Byron Froese made his season debut after being recalled from the Toronto Marlies of the AHL on Wednesday. ... The Avalanche failed to score in six power-play chances, including a combined 2:01 of 5-on-3 action. They are 1 for 23 on the power play in the last five games. ... Toronto loaned G Jhonas Enroth to the Marlies.
