Fantasy Analysis
He's not logging significant time on the power play, however, so there's little reason to think his production will remain at this level. Further, Karl Alzner doesn't shoot the puck much, as evidenced by his two shots on goal through four games and 64 over 82 contests last season. He plays on a good team and should help in the plus/minus department, but this doesn't look like a source of more than 15-20 points barring a significant role change. (Updated 10/17/2011).

Alex Ovechkin rebounded from a rare zero-shot performance by scoring after 88 seconds Wednesday night, Braden Holtby made 30 saves, and the Washington Capitals recovered from a potentially devastating loss by beating the top-seeded New York Rangers 2-1 to force a Game 7 in the Eastern Conference semifinal.
05/03/2012 13:28 Karl Alzner's dogs wreck the house during Capitals' 3OT loss
Upon coming from from an exhausting and gut-wrenching triple-overtime to the Rangers on Wednesday night in Washington, Capitals defenseman Karl Alzner was greeted with a mess of a living room courtesy of his dogs.
Alzner has become the shutdown defenseman the brass thought he would be when he was taken 5th overall in 2007. He just signed a new contract as his entry-level deal was up. He has the potential to put up 20 plus points, but being paired with John Carlson he takes a backseat to his offensively skilled teammate. Do not expect great offensive output, but you can expect around 100 blocks, 100 hits, and 60 plus shots. (Updated 8/16/11)
