Fantasy Analysis
This has to be a tough pill to swallow for Jose Theodore, who played very well despite the first-round exit, but suffered a knee injury that caused him to miss two games, both of which were lost by backup Scott Clemmensen. (Updated 04/26/2012).
04/13/2012 21:35 Devils start strong, thwart Panthers comeback to take 1-0 series lead

04/11/2012 11:02 Playoff preview: (3) Florida vs. (6) New Jersey
The Florida Panthers went through five different coaches between playoff appearances. So perhaps it's only fitting they face one of those exes in their long-awaited return to the postseason.
04/09/2012 17:22 Panthers not ready to say who'll be in net Thursday night
Florida Panthers coach Kevin Dineen says he does not plan to divulge his starting goaltender for Game 1 of the playoffs against New Jersey before Friday.
Theodore went 15-11-0 and posted a 2.71 goals against average to go along with a .916 save percentage in 32 games played (29 starts) for the Wild this past season. The former Hart trophy winner will battle veteran Scott Clemmensen in order to become the number one goaltender for the Panthers during the 2011-12 season. Regardless of who wins, expect both to get their fair share of opportunities throughout the season. The upside is limited give his age (he'll be 35 in September) and the rebuilding team he plays for, but there's also value in some leagues if he can garner the better part of the timeshare.
