Fantasy Analysis
Anders Lindback got the start in Saturday's regular season finale against Colorado but was forced to leave the game during the third period. At this point, the injury doesn't sound serious and he should be available to back up Pekka Rinne for Game 1 against the Red Wings on Wednesday. (Updated 04/09/2012).
03/20/2012 22:58 Oilers' Hemsky notches first hat trick
Ales Hemsky scored three goals for his first hat trick in the NHL, and the Edmonton Oilers beat the Nashville Predators 6-3 on Tuesday.
Lindback performed exceptionally well for the Preds last season, especially early in the year when starter Pekka Rinne was on the shelf with a knee injury. Although Lindback finished the season with excellent numbers (11-5-2, 2.60 GAA, .915 SV%), don't expect him to see much more than 10-15 starts this season playing behind Rinne, who has proved himself to be one of the best netminders in the NHL.
