Fantasy Analysis
Zac Rinaldo has recorded five points and 85 PIMs in 32 games for the Flyers this season, but is currently sidelined with an ankle injury. (Updated 4/17/13).
Zac Rinaldo was given a 66-game shot at the big leagues last year and, while it only yielded nine points, the gritty enforcer managed 232 PIMs, good enough for second in the league. The Flyers are a young, skilled team, and Rinaldo has plenty of teammates to protect if need be. Expect Rinaldo to frequent the sin bin again this season with the occasional bad penalty to go with the fights. He's definitely worth a look in deep leagues that reward penalty minutes especially for spot starts against Pittsburgh and the Rangers. (Updated 8/14/12)
