Fantasy Analysis
"He plays fearless," Sacco said of Mark Olver. "He's a smaller guy in stature, but he plays with some bite, with an edge, and goes into the hard areas of the ice. He does not shy away from physical play at all, and that's why a guy that size can have success. He's a smart player, and he's been a spark plug for us." Olver continues to see roughly 14 minutes of ice time per night, centering Milan Hejduk and Peter Mueller on the Avs' second line. With a goal and an assist in his last four games, Olver's fantasy upside is very good, especially considing the quality of his linemates. Consider plucking him from your league's waiver wire if you have room on your fantasy roster. (Updated 03/14/2012).
