Fantasy Analysis
Marco Sturm has been unable to stay on the ice this season, playing just 42 games and collecting five points during the regular season. If Sturm can't go, expect Krys Barch to assume the majority of his minutes Friday against the Devils. (Updated 04/12/2012).
04/03/2012 22:45 Panthers fall to Jets, fail to clinch division
Andrew Ladd scored two goals, including the winner 3:12 into overtime, to give the Winnipeg Jets a 5-4 victory over Florida that prevented the Panthers from clinching the Southeast Division title on Tuesday night.
After a disappointing injury-plagued campaign spent with the Capitals and Kings, the Canucks chose to take a flier on Sturm this summer by signing him to a one-year deal. The 32-year-old has eclipsed the 20-goal mark eight times throughout his career, but he has done so just once in the past three seasons. The Canucks hope Sturm can remain injury free and return to the 40-50 point form he displayed earlier in his career. Given the talent on the CanucksÂ’ roster, Sturm could be a good bounce-back option for deeper formats that value 20-goal wingers.
