Fantasy Analysis
He didn't have the game-winner, but this sure felt like one. He has one point in the first two playoff games; you should expect him to pick up that pace as the series shifts to Chicago. (Updated 04/15/2012).
One of the better trades that the Blackhawks ever made had Sharp coming from the Flyers during the 2005-06 season in exchange for Matt Ellison and a third-round draft choice. Sharp is fresh off his best season from a statistical standpoint, as he banked 34 goals -- 12 on the power play -- and 37 assists, leading to a five-year contract. But with team success dipping last year, his plus/minus dropped precipitously to minus-1. Even on the heels of a career season, fantasy owners shouldnt expect Sharp to regress much following his big pay day because hell be working with a familiar supporting cast on a scoring line and his versatility is bound to keep him on the ice for close to 20 minutes per game.
