Fantasy Analysis
Nick Spaling's on-ice responsibilites as a checking-line forward have definitely increased since he broke in with the Preds three seasons ago. However, with just 19 points in 62 games, Spaling won't help you much in traditional scoring categories unless you're in an ultra-deep league. (Updated 03/09/2012).
