Im a huge fan of his. Hes put in some superb performances this month. He scores goals with ease and is a proper centre forward. Hes been outstanding in Spurs rise up the table.Roberto Firmino - Liverpool Roberto Firmino scored four Premier League goals in January for Liverpool MERSE SAYS: Roberto Firmino has taken time to settle into the Premier League but started to find the back of the net in January. He scored two in the draw with Arsenal, including a superb second against the Gunners, and grabbed another double in the thriller at Norwich. However, for me its not his month.Wayne Rooney - Manchester United Wayne Rooney has scored seven goals in his last eight appearances for Man Utd MERSE SAYS: Wayne Rooney is back playing near his best. He has five goals in his last six Premier League games. Hes a player that could hit 10 goals in as many games because when hes hot, he can go on a real streak. Hes that type of player. Hes been outstanding and hes my pick to win it. He wasnt playing that well before but to switch it on and score seven goals in eight games in all competitions is a superb return to form.Have your say NOW - vote at www.skysports.com/pfafanvoteTo be eligible for the prize, voters must be 18 or over and be a resident of UK or ROI.

Martin Jones made 29 saves in the opener of a four-game road trip.We were upset because we didnt play very well in the first two, Couture said.

Frederik Andersen made 40 stops.Jones denied Mitchell Marner, Matthews and Nikita Soshnikov in the tiebreaker, and Couture was successful in the second round.Weve got to figure out a way to close out these games, figure out a way to put ourselves in a good position like weve been able to do and be able to win, Matthews said.Coming off their fourth loss in five games, the Leafs got on the board first, with Hyman at the center of the early action.With Matt Martin in the penalty box for boarding, Hyman got in front of a Brent Burns drive from the right point. The shot drilled the 24-year-old in the left knee, and he had to be helped off by teammates Matt Hunwick and Morgan Rielly.But Hyman quickly returned to the ice and picked up his fifth of the season, getting his stick on Matthews quick shot from the left faceoff circle at 6:58 of the first.Toronto appeared to have a 2-0 lead early in the second, but Reillys goal was waved off because Nazem Kadri was whistled for goaltender interference.Kadri and Toronto coach Mike Babcock protested the deccision, and Babcock used his coachs challenge.dddddddddddd But the call stood.Kadri said he was shocked that they called it off.But Matthews eventually got the goal back with Toronto enjoying a 5-on-3 power play.

Rookie Connor Brown managed to get a stick on the attempt, sending it over the net and into the crowd.Braun got San Jose on the board at 12:43, whipping a backhand from the slot over the glove of Andersen for his first goal of the season.Big goal by Brauny and then our power play needed to get one, Couture said. We had too many chances not to.Pavelski added a tying power-play goal just over two minutes later, guiding a Burns point pass past Andersen. It was his ninth of the season.I think third period we were waiting for them a little bit too much, maybe let them take over, Andersen said. That cost us.The Leafs had numerous chances to score in overtime, with Jones stopping solid chances for Kadri and Marner.Game notes Toronto fell to 10-1-5 when leading after two periods.UP NEXTSharks: Visit Ottawa on Wednesday night.Maple Leafs: Hosts Arizona on Thursday night.
