Fantasy Analysis
Zenon Konopka skated in 55 games for Ottawa, recording 193 PIM and five points. The 31-year-old probably won't be called upon to fight too much in the playoffs, so expect his appearances to be limited. (Updated 04/12/2012).
04/14/2012 22:31 Senators rally against Rangers to win in overtime, level series at 1-1
Chris Neil scored 1:17 into overtime, and the Ottawa Senators rallied for a wild 3-2 victory over the New York Rangers in Game 2 to even the first-round Eastern Conference series Saturday night.
Konopka, signed to a one-year contract this off-season, will play fourth line minutes and provide a lot of grit. One of the best face-off men in the game, he'll also be looked upon to take key faceoffs in the defensive zone, especially during penalty kills. With only two goals and seven assists in 2010-11, Konopka should not be a fantasy option for your team unless you're in dire need of penalty minutes. He racked up 307 penalty minutes for the Islanders last year. (Updated 10/4/11)
