Fantasy Analysis
Pascal Dupuis outperformed any and all expectations in 2011-12, collecting career high's in goals (25), assists (34), and points (59). Despite his sparkling numbers, the forward finished with more short-handed points (3) than on the power play (1). Dupuis also rang up eight game-winning goals, second on the Pens behind Evgeni Malkin's nine. (Updated 04/11/2012).

Sore nose and all, Sidney Crosby had a goal and three assists to help the Pittsburgh Penguins snap a mini-slump with a 5-3 victory over Buffalo on Friday that slowed the Sabres' late-season surge.
The Penguins retained the versatile Dupuis with a two-year, $3 million deal in the offseason. Few players wear the number of hats Dupuis does, serving as a Sidney Crosby linemate, a third or fourth liner, and as a member of a top-ranked penalty kill. From a fantasy perspective, Dupuis offers little upside but picks up consistent points. In fact, since coming over in a 2007-08 deadline deal with Marian Hossa, he's scored 12, 18, and 17 goals. His point totals of 38 and 37 give fantasy owners a glimpse at what they might expect from the 31-year-old speedster. As with many veteran NHL players, Dupuis likely means more to his teammates than he does to fantasy poolies. (Updated 10/4/11)
