Fantasy Analysis
Antoine Vermette has been an underrated piece of the Coyotes offense throughout the postseason, and his work on faceoffs (12-of-18) set up Shane Doan's second goal of the game. (Updated 05/20/2012).
05/20/2012 17:55 Doan scores a pair of goals as Coyotes shut out the Kings, avoid being swept
Shane Doan scored two goals, Mike Smith made 36 saves in his third playoff shutout, and the Phoenix Coyotes emphatically avoided playoff elimination with a 2-0 victory over the Los Angeles Kings in Game 4 of the Western Conference finals on Sunday.
05/13/2012 22:55 Kings take Game 1 against Coyotes, stay perfect on road in playoffs
Dwight King scored his second goal of the game into an empty net and the Los Angeles Kings opened the Western Conference finals with a 4-2 victory over the Phoenix Coyotes on Sunday night to remain unbeaten on the road in the playoffs.
The Blue Jackets' top faceoff man saw his production fall off last season as he bounced between lines, but with Jeff Carter and James Wisniewski around to revitalize the power play Vermette could end up being the biggest beneficiary. 20 goals and 50 points is a safe bet, but 25 and 60 (or better) isn't at all an unreasonable proposition.
