Fantasy Analysis
It's his first tally in six weeks, though in his defense, he's been reasonably busy racking up 16 assists in the meantime. His season total of 81 points is actually a bit of a disappointment, given his last two campaigns, in which he posted totals of 112 and 94. Watch to see whether twin brother Daniel comes back from a concussion for the playoff run; the brothers are among the league's most dangerous offensive combinations. (Updated 04/08/2012).

The first night of the playoffs was as intense as it gets. Can those six teams make it even better with the addition of the Florida-New Jersey series starting tonight too?
04/12/2012 01:40 Kings take opening game in Vancouver
Dustin Penner scored with 3:14 left in the third period to help the Los Angeles Kings beat the Vancouver Canucks 4-2 in the opener of their Western Conference quarterfinal series Wednesday.
While Sedin saw a slight drop off from his 2010-11 Hart Trophy production, he still managed to lead the NHL in assists (75) and finish fourth in total points (94) during the 2011-12 season. His 19 goals were somewhat disappointing after he posted a career-best 29 the previous season, but that total was more in line with the goal production weve seen from Sedin throughout his career. Hell return to be the primary playmaker in the Canucks attack and shouldnt have any problems remaining a point-per game play.
