Fantasy Analysis
Steinberg adds that it looks like the Flames could rest several veterans Tuesday, including the likes of Lee Stempniak and Micahel Cammalleri. (Updated 4/23/13).
The Flames missed the playoffs again in 2011-12, but that certainly cannot be pinned on Miikka Kiprusoff. He had one of his best seasons in years, putting together a 35-22-11 record along with a 2.35 goals against average and a .921 save percentage. The Flames inability to win in overtime or in shootouts hurt Kippers record, as evidenced by his 11 overtime losses. The slight drawdown in his minutes and games seemed to help the 35-year-old, and if the Flames get enough backup help to keep Kiprusoff at less than 70 games, Kiprusoff should reward fantasy owners with another stellar year. His only drawback is his team, which hasnt added much of a needed offensive spark in the offseason. (Updated 8/14/12)
