04/01/2012 18:55 Hudler lifts Wings to SO win vs. Panthers
Jiri Hudler scored with 14:30 remaining in the third period and again in a shootout to help the Detroit Red Wings beat the Florida Panthers 2-1 on Sunday.
Kopecky's 2010-11 campaign was his best as a professional, seeing him post a 15-27-42 stat line as a member of the Blackhawks. The totals represent career highs across the board. Kopecky's point totals have increased every season as a pro and the trend should continue as the two-time Stanley Cup champion brings a winning attitude to the new-look Panthers. Kopecky is not a superstar, but he consistently contributes enough to be a reliable fantasy option in the 40-50-point range. (Updated 10/4/11)
