Fantasy Analysis
Jerome Samson was only recalled on an emergency basis when Tuomo Ruutu was a late scratch earlier in the week so no surprises here. (Updated 03/16/2012).
03/06/2012 22:03 Hurricanes top skidding Capitals in OT
Justin Faulk scored the game-winner at 3:38 of overtime, Cam Ward stopped 46 shots, and the Carolina Hurricanes beat the skidding Washington Capitals 4-3 Tuesday.
02/23/2012 22:21 Koivu's shootout goal paces Ducks
Saku Koivu scored the only goal in the shootout and the Anaheim Ducks earned a 3-2 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday night.
Samson is one of the smaller forwards going through the Carolina development system, but that has not hampered his production. The young center averaged more than a point-per-game the last two seasons in the AHL with Albany/Charlotte. As far as this year is concerned, if Samson contributes as a low-line center with some time on the man advantage, that would qualify as solid year for the emerging winger. (Updated 8/16/11)
