Fantasy Analysis
Hopefully, all that time away has built up some aggravation in Chris Thorburn, which in turn will translate to a fight. Only Mark Stuart has more penalty minutes for the Jets this season. (Updated 03/31/2012).
03/31/2012 22:17 Stamkos' OT winner NHL-best 56th goal
Steven Stamkos scored his NHL-leading 56th goal of the season 45 seconds into overtime to give the Tampa Bay Lightning a 3-2 victory over the Winnipeg Jets on Saturday.
Thorburn posted a career-high 19 points last season (9 goals, 10 assists). He is a checking forward. He has just over 60 points combined in four NHL seasons and is more of a scrapper than a consistent offensive contributor. He is not worth pursuing from in your fantasy draft. (Updated 8/16/11)
