| Dwayne Roloson enjoyed an outstanding performance, halting 48 of 49 shots by the San Jose Sharks to give Edmonton a 2-1 win with just 23 shots on goal. The Oilers’ defense had been solid in recent weeks, rarely allowing Roloson to see such fire. This time he came through for them and served as the top goalie on the day. |

|
| Olli Jokinen continues to shine as weapon of choice for the Florida Panthers, scoring a goal and an assist in the Panthers' 3-1 win over Atlanta. That puts Jokinen at 69 points for the season, topping the team in both goals and assists. |

|
| Fredrik Norrena served as the rock of solitude for the Columbus Blue Jackets today, saving 43 of 46 shots against to help the Jackets pull a 4-3 victory over the mighty Detroit Red Wings. Norrena has been solid this year despite a troubled supporting cast (only 17 shots on goal for Columbus today). On any other team, he might be a fantasy star. |

|
|
| Cristobal Huet halted 39 of 40 shots today to push the Washington Capitols past the Boston Bruins 2-1. There were big worries after Huet surrendered four goals to Pittsburgh in his last performance, but today shows the could be what the Caps need in the playoffs. |

| Joe Corvo, D, Carolina Hurricanes | Sunday 3/16, 5:29 PM CT |
|
| Defenseman Joe Corvo continues to shine for the Hurricanes, posting an impressive three goals in Carolina’s 5-1 win over Ottawa. Corvo has been with the Hurricanes for about a month now and used today’s opportunity to show Ottawa the mistake they made in trading him south, scoring points 13, 14, and 15 since coming to Carolina. |

|
|
| Evgeni Malkin continues to carry the load for the Penguins with Sidney Crosby out once again, posting two goals and two assists in Pittsburgh’s dominating 7-1 win over the Philadelphia Flyers today. In Malkin’s last three games, he’s garnered three goals and five assists. Today’s game brings him to 97 points on the year, an absolute treasure for fantasy owners coming towards the end of the season. |

| Mats Sundin, C, Toronto Maple Leafs | Sunday 3/16, 2:27 PM CT |
|
| Mats Sundin skipped Saturday's game due to a strained groin and likely will not play Tuesday, either, according to the Toronto Star. He was able to skate some Saturday, which is a good sign, but you'll want to keep him benched until we hear something more positive. |
|
|
|
| Nik Antropov left Saturday's game with a strained knee and did not return, according to the Toronto Star. He'll probably will be re-examined in a couple of days after the swelling goes down to determine a timeline for his return. |
|
|
|
| Derian Hatcher sustained a broken right leg during Saturday's game, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. "There's a troublesome spot on the X-rays," general manager Paul Holmgren said yesterday. "We won't know until tomorrow and we get an MRI. It's a weight-bearing bone on the lower leg." Unless something good comes of the MRI, it sounds like Hatcher's season may be over. We'll have updates as they come in. |

|
|
| Wade Brookbank is day-to-day with a leg injury, according to the Raleigh News & Observer. His only real fantasy value comes in PIM, so he won't be missed much. |
|
| Matt Cullen, C, Carolina Hurricanes | Sunday 3/16, 2:02 PM CT |
|
| Matt Cullen will not be in the mix for Sunday's game because he's had a recurrence of concussion symptoms, according to the Raleigh News & Observer. "We'll have to look at this as day-to-day," Hurricanes general manager Jim Rutherford said Saturday. We'll have to wait and see how he feels over the next few days before a timeline might be set for his return. |
