Fantasy Analysis
Dan Girardi's goal was only his first in the Rangers' last 29 games, but the All-Star defenseman is still a very valuable fantasy commodity. He's posted a very solid 2011-2012 season so far, and most importantly, leads all NHL defenseman in ice time. (Updated 01/18/2012).

01/27/2012 17:36 Neutral Zone Wrap: Can I get some respect?
The All-Star break is just about here so Evan Berofsly uses the free time to take a look back at some underappreciated first-half performers and what to expect down the stretch in his Neutral Zone Wrap.
The last two years Girardi has paired with Marc Staal, representing one of the top defensive tandems in the league. The Rangers' offense should be a little more consistent with Brad Richards' arrival and the maturation of the team's younger skaters. As a result, it should be realistic for the blueliner to return to the 30-35 point range, putting him on the map as a fourth option at his position in standard leagues. Fantasy owners involved in pools that give defensive points have extra incentive to nab Girardi, as the two-way defender picked up 195 hits and 236 blocks last season alone.
