12/14/2011 22:44 Best in the West: 'Hawks top Wild
Patrick Kane's goal in the second round of a shootout clinched the Chicago Blackhawks' fifth straight victory on the road, 4-3 over the Minnesota Wild on Wednesday in a matchup of the top two teams in the Western Conference.
Lundin, who played sparingly the past four seasons with Tampa Bay, is headed back to his homestate of Minnesota after signing a one-year deal with the Wild in July of 2011. He's sure to bring energy on the blue line, but his 33 points (4 G, 29 A) in 224 games makes him negligible in just about any fantasy league. (Updated 8/16/11)
