Some major Fantasy contributors are attempting to get back to form in the coming week, like Sergei Gonchar and Chris Drury. Our Michael Hurcomb gets you caught up on all the latest in his Fantasy Planner.
Eckford split time between the Devils and their AHL affiliate in 2010-11. With AHL Albany, the blueliner tallied two goals, 10 assists, and a minus-8 rating through 37 games, while he didn't crack the stat sheet (save for a minus-1 rating) in four games at the NHL level. Expect the Coyotes to use him similarly; he'll provide defensive depth in the event of injury. (Updated 8/16/11)
