On Fire This Week: The Dallas Stars
They've got 6 straight wins, 20 goals for and only 9 against in that span. The Stars have loads of players playing well right now, and some that aren't they guys you'd expect. Starting in goal, Marty Turco is solid. He has 4 wins in a row, but has missed the last tqo with a sore neck. Mike Smith has filled in wonderfully, with a shutout and anther win. Both are viable fantasy options, and it looks like both are going to see some time as Dallas readies for the playoffs.
On Ice This Week: The New York Islanders
Seven losses in a row, that's the worst steak under Head Coach Ted Nolan. Sure they've had injuries and the flu has run through that locker room, but the problem is they're not getting enough offense â€" 11 goals for in 7 games is bad… 27 goals against is worse. And you can't put the blame on goalie Rick DiPietro. He's looked really good at times, but he's not getting enough help. His 0-6-2 record over his last 8 starts is a little troubling, and it's hurting his fantasy value. He is still making about 30 saves per game, and he'll keep playing in almost all of them. But until the guys in front of him start generating more offense, his wins total isn't going to be great.
