Fantasy Analysis
The goal snapped a 15-game scoreless drought for Rene Bourque, who hadn't found the back of the net since Feb. 24 in a loss to the Capitals. After an initial burst of good play when he arrived from Calgary, Bourque has been a non-entity in the Canadiens' lineup. (Updated 03/31/2012).
03/31/2012 22:08 Caps move into eighth spot with win
The Washington Capitals welcomed back Nicklas Backstrom and took a big step toward the playoffs Saturday night, blowing a two-goal lead for the second game in a row before taking the shootout for a 3-2 win over the Montreal Canadiens.
03/30/2012 22:23 Rangers beat Habs for 50th victory
Marian Gaborik and Brad Richards scored early, and defenseman Michael Del Zotto had two goals in the third period as the New York Rangers won their fourth in a row and moved closer to securing the top seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs with a 4-1 victory over the Montreal Canadiens on Friday.
One might be surprised to learn that Calgary ranked seventh in the league with a team average of 2.94 goals per game last season. Bourque had a lot to do with it, as he triggered the lamp 27 times for the second consecutive season. Sometimes the undrafted winger endures long stretches without any points, but heath permitting, he's a good bet to fall in the neighborhood of 45-60 points by the time the season comes to a close.
