Fantasy Analysis
The former sixth overall selection has a world of talent, but his team's struggles and his own inconsistency have made things awfully hard on him. Still, all signs are positive of late. Both assists came on the power play Thursday. (Updated 02/09/2012).
02/04/2012 00:50 Jackets snap six-game losing streak
Derick Brassard scored his second goal with 1:05 left in overtime, and the Columbus Blue Jackets snapped their six-game skid with a come-from-behind 3-2 victory over the Anaheim Ducks on Friday night.
It was another disappointing season for Brassard, who couldn't stick on Rick Nash's line and even dropped out of the top-six entirely at times. 17 goals and 47 points were both career highs, however, and the slick, skilled pivot stayed (mostly) healthy for the second straight season. The acquisition of Jeff Carter takes the pressure off Brassard to be a number one center, a role for which he's not really suited anyway due to his build, and another season of maturity should allow him to break the 50-point mark while anchoring the club's second line.
