Fantasy Analysis

11/08/2011 22:23 Khabibulin stays hot, backstops Oilers past Canadiens
Nikolai Khabibulin made 28 saves and Ryan Jones scored a short-handed goal in the second period to send the Edmonton Oilers to a 3-1 win over the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday night.
10/28/2011 23:51 Dubnyk stops 40 shots to lead Oilers past Avalanche
Devan Dubnyk had a season-high 40 saves and defensemen Cam Barker and Andy Sutton each scored their first goals of the season, leading the Edmonton Oilers past the Colorado Avalanche 3-1 on Friday night.
10/28/2011 00:59 Oilers deal Capitals first loss this season
Jordan Eberle had a goal and an assist and Nikolai Khabibulin made 34 saves and the Edmonton Oilers handed the Washington Capitals their first loss of the season, 2-1 on Thursday.
Barker looked to be a breakout star in 2008-09 with the Blackhawks, when he scored six goals and added 34 assists. However, in the past two seasons combined, he had only six goals and 20 assists as the bloom came off the rose and Barker found himself on the waiver wire. But the Oilers signed Barker to a one-year contract hoping to have found a diamond in the rough. Barker has talent and is only 25 years of age, so this looks to be a low-risk/high-reward type of signing. The Oilers have yet to state who will pair with Barker and/or if he will play on the power play, but Edmonton does not have many better option in their defensive corps and Barker will get every opportunity to prove he deserves big minutes once training camp opens.
