Fantasy Analysis
Eric Belanger has been out of action for about a week but should return for the battle of Alberta on Saturday. Belanger is far from the best fantasy player unless you're in a league that rewards face-off wins. (Updated 01/21/2012).
The Oilers signed Belanger to a three-year, $5.25 million contact for one big reason - he wins faceoffs. The Oilers didn't have a faceoff specialist on their roster and felt the need to acquire one. Belanger is also capable of scoring a few goals as he has averaged close to 15 scores per season over the past six years. (Updated 10/4/11)
