VISORS ON THE RISE

According to a late October survey done by the Hockey News, 318 of 650 skaters (48.9) percent, the largest number in NHL history, are wearing visors. Ottawa leads the league with 15 skaters, but considering the Wild's Kurtis Foster and Stephane Veilleux now plan to wear visors, the Wild has jumped into the NHL lead with 16.
