Fantasy Analysis
Jussi Jokinen has a respectable 45 points in 74 games, but it's unlikely we'll see him regain the form that saw him grab 30 goals two seasons ago. His shot totals are down, but he has been a decent source of assists in deeper leagues. (Updated 03/27/2012).

Cam Ward stopped 32 shots for his 21st shutout and the Carolina Hurricanes eliminated the Toronto Maple Leafs from playoff contention with a 3-0 win Tuesday.

Chad LaRose scored with 1:22 left in the third period as the Carolina Hurricanes edged the Winnipeg Jets 4-3 on Sunday night.
There had been some initial doubt that Hurricanes GM Jim Rutherford would be able to retain Jokinen this past offseason, but the team was able to re-sign him to a three-year, $9 million deal, preventing him from skating away from Raleigh as an unrestricted free agent. Certainly it was a key signature for the Hurricanes, since Jokinen is one of the teams top offensive weapons. The versatile forward has accumulated 114 points (49 G, 68 A) including 42 power-play points over the past two seasons alone. Lower-body injuries did limit Jokinen to 70 games last season, making him a slight injury risk, but the Finn is worth taking a chance on right after the elite wingers are off the board on fantasy draft day.
