Fantasy Analysis
It took Henrik Karlsson until the last day of the schedule to get his first win of the season, so his fantasy numbers aren't exactly off the charts. He'll once again compete for the backup job behind Miikka Kiprusoff in 2012-13. (Updated 04/07/2012).

Roberto Luongo made 21 saves, Chris Higgins and David Booth each had a goal and two assists and the Vancouver Canucks beat the Calgary Flames 5-1 on Sunday night for their sixth victory in their last seven games.
Listed at 6-foot-6, Karlsson is aptly named "Calgary Tower," as he takes up plenty of real estate in net for the Flames. He's likely to reprise his roles as a solid backup goalie to incumbent Miikka Kiprusoff, which means the Swede will likely only see pucks in approximately 15-20 games. Last year, for his first taste of the NHL, Karlsson posted a 2.58 goals-against average and .908 save percentage in 17 appearances between the pipes. He's talented, but it would take a Kirprusoff injury for Karlsson to be worth a look in the fantasy realm.
