Fantasy Analysis
Nate Prosser will be in the lineup Sunday for the Houston Aeros as they take on Milwaukee. The 25-year-old appeared in 56 games this season for Minnesota compared to just 19 for the Houston Aeros. He posted 12 points (1G, 11A) and 57 penalty minutes for the Wild, but the defenseman will continue to work on his game in the AHL for the time being. (Updated 04/09/2012).
03/31/2012 23:16 Kings lose to Wild, tied for Pacific lead
Erik Christensen and Mikko Koivu scored in a shootout and the Minnesota Wild beat the Los Angeles Kings 4-3 on Saturday night.
03/27/2012 22:44 Rangers beat Wild with late goal
Ruslan Fedotenko's go-ahead goal in the third period gave the New York Rangers a 3-2 victory on Tuesday over the Minnesota Wild and some more space in the tightened Eastern Conference playoff race.
Even though he went undrafted, Prosser was able to bring an offensive touch to the blue line as a member of the Houston Aeros, Minnesota's primary minor league affiliate, in 2010-11. His numbers included eight goals and 19 assists in 31 regular season games, and he also gained valuable experience in the 2011 Calder Cup playoffs. Fantasy owners understandably love two-way defenders, and Prosser fits the description but his lack of NHL experience (five games) should be enough to keep him out of the fantasy spotlight this season.
