Fantasy Analysis
Mathieu Darche's season is over, but his ear infection presumably isn't a long-term concern. (Updated 04/07/2012).
02/11/2012 22:24 Price perfect in net, Canadiens hammer five goals on Maple Leafs
Carey Price turned aside 32 shots, and the Montreal Canadiens hammered Toronto 5-0 on Saturday night after the Maple Leafs retired the number of longtime former captain Mats Sundin.
02/07/2012 22:34 Canadiens top Penguins in shootout
Tomas Plekanec scored on Montreal's eighth attempt in the shootout to lead the Canadiens to a 3-2 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday night.
02/05/2012 16:46 Canadiens, top-star Price blank Jets
Carey Price made 23 saves for his third shutout of the season, Tomas Plekanec had a goal and an assist and the Montreal Canadiens ended a three-game losing streak with a 3-0 win over the Winnipeg Jets on Sunday.
02/02/2012 22:03 Devils rally with 4 straight goals vs. Habs
Zach Parise scored two goals, including the go-ahead tally with 2:44 remaining, and the New Jersey Devils beat the Montreal Canadiens 5-3 on Thursday.
Darche was a utility tool for the Habs last season, filling in wherever the team needed. Hes mostly a third- or fourth-liner, but found himself skating with the top-six boys at times. As a result, he posted career-highs in goals (12) and points (26). Obviously, were not talking high-end fantasy value here, but his hard work has made him a trusted forward for coach Jacques Martin. Expect third-line minutes for the 34-year-old Darche. (Updated 10/4/11)
