Fantasy Analysis
Jim Vandermeer, who had been out of the lineup for over a month in January, scored the Sharks' opening goal on Tuesday night. His ice time has dropped since going on injured reserve in December, and he doesn't play a significant fantasy role. (Updated 03/07/2012).
01/25/2012 00:00 Sharks douse Flames with shutout
Benn Ferriero scored and Antti Niemi made 25 saves to lead the San Jose Sharks over the Calgary Flames 1-0 on Tuesday night in the final game before All-Star break for both teams.
Vandermeer, who signed a one-year contract with the Sharks this summer, is the type of player that goalies love to have around. He is effective on the penalty kill and protects the net with plenty of blocked shots. These skills make him a solid stay-at-home defenseman, yet he lacks offense and is not worth a look in most fantasy drafts. (Updated 8/16/11)
