Fantasy Analysis
Jordin Tootoo was injured in a first period fight with Chicago's Brandon Bollig last Sunday and has missed the last two games. With a career-high 29 points already under his belt, he has a good shot of topping the 30-point plateau for the first time. He offers decent fantasy value in deeper formats. (Updated 03/29/2012).
03/27/2012 22:53 Elliott, Blues shut out Predators
Brian Elliott made 24 saves for his third straight shutout and Jamie Langenbrunner broke a scoreless tie in the second period to lead the St. Louis Blues to a 3-0 win over the Nashville Predators on Tuesday night.
03/18/2012 01:17 Three-goal third period sparks Kings
Dustin Penner sparked a three-goal third-period blitz that broke open a tie game and carried the Los Angeles Kings to a 4-2 victory over the Nashville Predators on Saturday night.
Tootoo will be in his eighth season with the Predators, coming off a season with eight goals, 10 assists, and 85 shots on goal. In tying his career high in points last year for the semifinalist Predators, he is also the franchise's all-time leader in penalty minutes. The enforcer should be a force to be reckoned with and have more scoring opportunities in coach Barry Trotz's up-tempo system. (Updated 10/4/11)
