Fantasy Analysis
He made enough saves to win and that's what matters. But this will sting those of you in head-to-head formats who count goals against and save percentage as categories. The win gives him a 10-1-1 mark over his last 12 starts so those ratios will be forgiven. (Updated 02/11/2012).

02/06/2012 09:31 Blue Line Buzz: Gagner too good to be true
Edmonton's Sam Gagner had a torrid Week 17 in Fantasy Hockey, but Dan Pennucci says it's simply an unsustainable pace for the talented but inconsistent Oiler in this week's Blue Line Buzz.

Ilya Kovalchuk had a goal and two assists, and the New Jersey Devils extended their winning streak to four with a 5-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Sunday.
Fleury enters his eighth NHL season at the ripe old age of 27. After a miserable start to 2010-11, the Penguins netminder rebounded to set single-season bests in goals-against average (2.32) and save percentage (.918). He lost six of his first seven decisions, but then strung together a 14-game unbeaten streak that included 11 straight wins. An improved defensive corps and the loss of Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin saw Pittsburgh change its strategy. Fleury came up big, rewarding the team with the most consistent regular-season tending of his career. Backup goalie Brent Johnson played nearly as well in goal, giving the Pens an opportunity keep Fleury fresh with an occasional night off. Pittsburgh looks to add a healthy Crosby and Malkin in 2011-12, meaning more wins for the Flower -- he had 36 last year -- and a bit more of a wide open game in front of him. He's just entering the prime of his career. (Updated 10/4/11)
