Fantasy Analysis
Ryan Malone missed the last two games, but he'll get one in before the season ends. He has five goals and seven points in 23 games this season. While the lockout and injuries are partially to blame for his quiet campaign, more will be expected out of Malone next year. He has averaged .61 points per game throughout his career. (Updated 4/27/13).
04/27/2013 23:24 Tampa Bay's St. Louis will win Art Ross Trophy with 60 points
Martin St. Louis became the oldest player to win the league scoring title, finishing with a goal and an assist in Tampa Bay's 5-3 loss to the Florida Panthers in the season finale for two non-playoff teams on Saturday night.
04/21/2013 20:57 Hurricanes hold off Lightning behind Tlusty's goals
Jiri Tlusty scored two first-period goals and Dan Ellis stopped 34 shots to lead the Carolina Hurricanes to a 3-2 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Sunday night.
04/14/2013 19:59 Sabres down Lightning, continue late-season surge
Jhonas Enroth stopped 32 shots in helping the Buffalo Sabres keep up their late-season playoff push with a 3-1 victory against the slumping Tampa Bay Lightning on Sunday.
Ryan Malone is big and talented, but an injury waiting to happen -- he hasn't played a full season since his rookie year. So, if you can stomach carrying a guy who could miss 20 games and deliver just 45-odd points, you go right ahead. We're convinced there are better options available. And those options won't cause the kind of ulcers that Malone will. (Updated 8/14/12)
