Fantasy Analysis
Jeff Halpern played for Beagle in Game 6, which was his first game since March 23 at Winnipeg. He saw 10:23 of ice time, showing a little rust. He won seven of 13 faceoffs, finishing minus-1 with four penalty minutes after a double minor for high-sticking. (Updated 05/12/2012).
05/09/2012 22:19 Capitals bounce back, force Game 7
Alex Ovechkin rebounded from a rare zero-shot performance by scoring after 88 seconds Wednesday night, Braden Holtby made 30 saves, and the Washington Capitals recovered from a potentially devastating loss by beating the top-seeded New York Rangers 2-1 to force a Game 7 in the Eastern Conference semifinal.
Halpern began his career with Washington and now is returning to provide veteran leadership to the club. He competes very hard and will provide some depth on one of the bottom lines. He is not relevant in fantasy formats, but should provide a spark to the overall team. (Updated 8/16/11)
