Looking for signs the Apocolypse might be upon us? How about having three of the league's top five scorers on one team? Not good enough for a fatalistic vision? OK, try all three skate for the Boston Bruins. It's only a few games into the season, but having Brian Rolston as the league's fourth-best point-getter is fun, indeed. Maybe that Ray Bourque trade wasn't so bad, after all.

Each week, ESPN.com goes inside the numbers to see who in the league is tearing it up ... and whose contracts might need to be torn up. Here is this week's list of the hot and not.

Who's Hot ... in Boston

	Jason Allison: 3 GP, 2-5-7 Talent + health + contract year = smokin' hot. Allison looks fully healed after surgeries on both wrists. Allison has size and great awareness on the ice. If he keeps it up, he'll be the next annual holdout victim in Boston.
	Joe Thornton: 3 GP, 2-4-6 Thornton doesn't look too much different than when he was an 18-year-old rookie. But he plays a lot different. Thornton has a lot of confidence, and he has learned how to protect the puck down low. The thing to follow is whether he's more playmaker than goal-scorer.
	Brian Rolston: 3 GP, 2-4-6 Rolston has always been labeled as a guy with upside and potential. Now that he's in Boston – and not buried or pigeon-holed in New Jersey/Colorado – Rolston is getting the ice time to prove that his 24 goals two seasons ago was no fluke. He might not finish in any top-10 category, but this is a torrid start.

Cy Young vs. Matt Young

	Scott Young: 3 GP, 4 goals and 0 assists A new category, in his namesake, Scott gets the Cy Young for his 4-0 production. Young has always been streaky, with the potential to score. But with the added time he'll get on the power play this season, he might be poised to surpass the 30 goals he scored in '92-93 for Quebec.
	Doug Gilmour: 2 GP, 4 assists, 0 goals Gilmour is hockey's version of Matt Young – who went 8-18 for baseball's Mariners in 1990 – except an 0-4 record in two NHL games is all good. Word out of Buffalo is that this Sabres team is as solid offensively as it has been in years. And Gilmour, if he stays healthy, should lead the charge.

Who's Not Hot

	Peter Forsberg: 2 GP, 0 points Peter the Great isn't starting off so great. After finsihing the preseason like a house of fire, Forsberg not only doesn't have a point, but also has just three shots on net and is a minus-1.
	Felix Potvin: 5.81 GAA, .795 save pct. Not much more needs be said other than nine goals allowed on 44 shots. It's amazing that the Canucks are 2-1 to start the year.
	Nicklas Lidstrom: 2 GP, 0 points, minus-1 Widely considered one of the top five defensemen in the NHL, Lidstrom hasn't had much of a presence in the first two games. He has five shots on net, and then a bunch of goose eggs on the stat sheet. The place he's needed most on the production side is on the power play.
