Fantasy Analysis
His 25-17-4 record seems to involve some smoke, mirrors, and a little bit of wizardry, as the Calgary attack isn't exactly fearsome. He's 3-0-1 in his last four starts, and is a solid start recommendation when the Flames host Toronto on Tuesday night. (Updated 02/12/2012).

Jarome Iginla had a goal and an assist to help Calgary Flames beat the Chicago Blackhawks 3-1 Friday night.
Kiprusoff is fresh off another solid season, having recorded 37 wins and six shutouts; a 2.63 goals-against average and .906 save percentage. With a wavering supporting cast in Calgary, the Finnish backstop works hard for his victories but has been quite consistent over the years. Even though backup goaltender Henrik Karlsson is extremely talented, don't expect Kipper to concede excessive playing time to his Swedish understudy. Kiprusoff is a safe fantasy pick because he is guaranteed playing time and has a robust track record to justify picking him high on the charts. (Updated 10/4/11)
