Fantasy Analysis
The Coyotes would've probably liked to hang on to Curtis McElhinney, who was traded to Columbus on Wednesday in the Antoine Vermette deal, but were nearing the 50-man roster limit. He had been demoted to the AHL when he was in Phoenix, and likely wouldn't factor into the Blue Jackets' plans anyway, with Steve Mason and Curtis Sanford sharing duties this season.

04/09/2011 16:03 Bruins win home finale, settle in for third seed
Nathan Horton scored a tiebreaking goal early in the second period, Tim Thomas stopped 31 shots and the Boston Bruins won their regular season home finale 3-1 over the Ottawa Senators on Saturday.
McElhinney spent time in both Anaheim and Ottawa last season, posting a combined 9-13-1 record (including two shutouts) to complement a 3.18 GAA and .897 save percentage. McElhinney will likely not win a considerable netminding role in the desert, but with the Coyotes losing trusted veteran Ilya Bryzgalov to the Flyers, the former Duck will provide experienced depth at the position.
