Fantasy Analysis
At this point you have to wonder if he'll be able to play again this season given his current progress. (Updated 01/26/2012).
12/27/2011 01:15 Ducks end 13-game road winless run
Andrew Cogliano scored the tiebreaking goal midway through the second period and Jonas Hiller made 36 saves in helping the Anaheim Ducks end a 13-game winless skid on the road, beating the San Jose Sharks 3-2 Monday night.
12/27/2011 00:37 Mitchell scores winner for Kings
Willie Mitchell scored the tiebreaking goal early in the third period, and the Los Angeles Kings broke their offensive slump to beat the Phoenix Coyotes 4-3 Monday night for their second victory under new coach Darryl Sutter.
12/19/2011 22:21 Kings' Brown connects for lone SO goal
Dustin Brown scored the only goal of a shootout Monday and the Los Angeles Kings wrapped up a bizarre road trip with a 3-2 win over the Maple Leafs on Monday night.
12/13/2011 21:41 Bruins spoil Stevens' debut with Kings
Brad Marchand scored twice and Tuukka Rask earned his first shutout of the season, leading the Boston Bruins to a 3-0 victory over Los Angeles on Tuesday night in the Kings' first game under interim coach John Stevens.
Gagne battled injuries again last year but the Kings are banking on a return to health out of the former 40-goal scorer. Gagne flourished with Mike Richards previously in Philadelphia but the Kings could also decide to pair him up with the uber-talented Anze Kopitar. A return to health may be wish-casting, but the upside is there if he can lace up the skates on a nightly basis. (Updated 10/4/11)
