Fantasy Analysis
He was the reason his team even got a shot at the win -- he just kept turning the Sens away when things got dangerous. It's a huge win for the Bulin Wall as he hadn't netted a win since Dec. 22. It's clear the old man can still pull out the stops on occasion but spot duty based on strength of schedule is about the only way to stomach him. (Updated 02/11/2012).
02/11/2012 17:39 Hall's OT goal helps Oilers top Sens
Taylor Hall scored 17 seconds into overtime and the Edmonton Oilers snapped a two-game losing streak with a 4-3 win over the Ottawa Senators on Saturday.
02/08/2012 22:33 Red Wings win 18th straight at home
Drew Miller and Henrik Zetterberg scored in the third period, and the Detroit Red Wings extended their home winning streak to 18 games with a 4-2 victory over the Edmonton Oilers on Wednesday.
Khabibulin's stay in Edmonton has been a bumpy one to say the least. He missed most of his first season with the club due to back surgery and then was arrested for DUI. Last season, he only played 47 games due to various injuries and ineffective play as his goals-against average was 3.40 with a save percentage of only 89 percent. Those numbers cost him a number of starts as Devan Dubnyk started to eat more and more into Khabibulin's playing time. Actually, Dubnyk may be the leading candidate to take over the starting job this season.
