Fantasy Analysis
"For Steve MacIntyre, this is not the first game he's played against the Flyers this year," Bylsma said. "We're really not expecting anything in the game of that nature, nor is it a situation where, for our team, we're doing anything but going out to try and win in every situation, whether it's a faceoff, whether it's a puck battle." Rest assured, the rough-and-tumble MacIntyre was not recalled from the AHL for his faceoff or puck-batting abilities. (Updated 04/08/2012).
MacIntyre will fight for Pittsburgh on an as-needed basis in 2011-12 as part of a two-way contract he signed in the offseason. He replaces Eric Godard but probably won't stick on the NHL roster all season because of Deryk Engelland's emergence as a fighter last year. MacIntyre might be worth owning on a game-by-game basis against the likes of the Islanders, but his fantasy value likely ends there. (Updated 8/16/11)
