Fantasy Analysis
The Canucks will continue to give Sami Salo enough rest down the stretch to keep him fresh for the playoffs. While he still plays most nights, you'll want to keep tabs on him daily to make sure he's in the lineup. Vancouver coach Alain Vigneault did not say who was coming out of the lineup yet.

04/01/2012 01:10 Canucks overtake Blues for top in West
Andrew Ebbett scored at 3:58 of overtime and the Vancouver Canucks took over the top spot of the Western Conference with a 3-2 win over the Calgary Flames on Saturday night.

Max Lapierre had a goal and two assists, Henrik Sedin added three assists and the Vancouver Canucks beat Dallas 5-2 on Friday, dropping the Stars from the third seed in the Western Conference to the seventh spot.
The 2010-11 campaign was another season ravaged by injury for Salo. The Fragile Finn didn't make his season debut until mid-February, totaling seven points (3 G, 4 A) in 27 games. Despite his injury-riddled past, the Canucks opted to bring Salo back for another go-around by re-signing him to a one-year deal this summer. The injury risk will always be there with Salo, but he does head into 2011-12 healthy and should play a big role for the Canucks as a top-four defenseman.
