Fantasy Analysis
It's was an up-and-down season for Rick Nash amid all kind of trade rumors and poor play by the Blue Jackets, but he sure did finish with a bang, registering 11 points in his last eight games. Expect his name to be a hot topic this summer as the Blue Jackets try to figure out what they want to do for the long term. (Updated 04/08/2012).
05/15/2012 09:42 Pregame Skate: Coyotes looking for any way to slow down Kings
The Kings are now 9-1 in the postseason, 6-0 on the road. They will look to make it 7-0 in Game 2 in Phoenix on Tuesday night and if they do, the Coyotes will be in big trouble.
Nash racked up another 30-goal season (the sixth time in eight NHL seasons he's reached that mark, and a total the big, dominating winger could probably hit in his sleep) but once again left Blue Jackets' fans and his owners feeling just a little bit cheated. The physical aspect of his game continues to erode, and he set a career low in PIMs with 34 last season, but the acquisition of Jeff Carter means that for the first time in Nash's career he'll actually be lining up with another Blue Jacket of a similar caliber and skill level. Both players tend to be shoot-first offensive forces, so there's some question as to whether they'll be able to co-exist on the same line, but if they click Nash will be taking dead aim at breaking his personal bests of 41 goals and 79 points.
