Fantasy Analysis
Guillaume Latendresse, who hasn't played since May 3, will replace Matt Kassian in the lineup Friday. Latendresse recorded six goals in 27 games this season. (Updated 5/17/13).
Guillaume Latendresse signed a one-year, one-way contract with the Sens on the first day of free agency this past off-season and will be given every opportunity to win a top-six role, perhaps alongside Jason Spezza on Ottawa's first line. The big, skilled forward has battled a number of injuries the past two years and has also been critiized for being out-of-shape. When he has played, Latendresse has been surprisingly good, registering 55 points (35G, 20A) in 105 games over his last three years in the NHL. If he comes to camp in good shape, (he's training with Ottawa's strength and conditioning coach in Ottawa this off-season) he could be one of the better low-risk, high-reward signings this year. He has a lot to prove, but on a team that is geared toward puck possession and attacking the net, Latendresse's skills could be put to great use. In the best of cases, he could net upwards of 20-25 goals with the same amount of assists. (Updated 8/14/12)
