Fantasy Analysis
Josh Harding's won two starts in a row (both in shootouts against the 'Hawks, though this one was much prettier) and four of six overall, but these games mean nothing, as the Wild are well outside of the Western Conference playoff picture. Harding, however, is a free agent after this year, and will likely be changing uniforms. We hear they could use a goalie down in Tampa. (Updated 04/06/2012).

Devin Setoguchi scored in the fourth round of a shootout in the Minnesota Wild's 3-2 comeback victory over the Calgary Flames on Thursday night.
The Wild have been loyal to Harding since drafting him in the second round of the 2002 NHL Entry Draft, even though he's made just 83 appearances between the pipes in his career. Once billed as a top goalie prospect, Harding missed the entire 2010-11 campaign after sustaining a torn ACL/MCL in preseason action last September. Harding re-signed with the Wild this past offseason and is expected to be healthy for the 2011-12, reprising the role of backup netminder to starter Niklas Backstrom. Harding is not an attractive fantasy option given his propensity for injuries and limited role. (Updated 10/4/11)
