Fantasy Analysis
He had two shutouts in the final two games of the AHL Eastern Conference finals and stopped 113-of-115 shots he face in the four-game series. The team set a league record by allowing just two goals while outscoring their opponent, the St. John's IceCaps, 14-2 in four games. Dustin Tokarski has always carried a reputation as a big-money goalie (despite his smallish stature) and he's proving it again. His future continues to brighten. (Updated 05/23/2012).

James Reimer made 34 saves, taking a shutout into the final minute, and the Toronto Maple Leafs snapped a five-game skid with a 3-1 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday.
Tokarski is a little goalie whose best skill could very well be his ability to ratchet up his game significantly in big games. He had an up and down 2010-11 but finished strong for the AHL Norfolk Admirals, almost single-handedly stealing the team's first round playoff series. That performance -- two steals including a shutout, a 2.19 goals against average and a .924 save percentage -- should make him Norfolk's number one guy in 2011-12. His NHL career won't come for a couple seasons now that Mathieu Garon has been signed for two years. But he'll be a good one when he gets to the Bolts. (Updated 8/16/11)
