Fantasy Analysis

02/28/2012 21:55 Hurricanes hold on to beat Preds
Bryan Allen scored his first goal of the season on a breakaway coming out of the penalty box, and the Carolina Hurricanes held on for a 4-3 win over the Nashville Predators on Tuesday night.

Jussi Jokinen scored on a deflection with 8:05 left to lift the Carolina Hurricanes past the San Jose Sharks, 3-2 on Friday.
Allen fits the mold of a top-four defenseman capable of handling around 20 minutes of ice time per game. He combined for 17 points (4 G, 13 A) and 82 penalty minutes between the Panthers and Hurricanes in 2010-11. None of this makes him a must-have in the fantasy realm, yet he can be a serviceable option for owners in categorical formats where PIMs count. (Updated 8/16/11)
