Fantasy Analysis
Sam Gagner's certainly fallen off after an insane stretch that saw him put up 15 points in five games back in late January and early February. He'd gone six straight games without finding the scoresheet and eight since the last time he put a tuck to twine. Such is life when Ryan Nugent-Hopkins is healthy. (Updated 03/20/2012).

03/20/2012 22:58 Oilers' Hemsky notches first hat trick
Ales Hemsky scored three goals for his first hat trick in the NHL, and the Edmonton Oilers beat the Nashville Predators 6-3 on Tuesday.
Gagner missed the final month of the 2010-11 season after having his hand sliced open by a teammate during a game. He will be fully recovered from the freak accident for the start of this season and is expected to center the second line. Gagner has disappointed the Oilers as he hasn't taken that next step in his evolution since scoring 49 points in his rookie campaign. The Oilers are starting to acquire more offensive talent and if Gagner is unable to take that next step this season, he may find his playing time diminished or taken away all together.
