While there were a few games played yesterday, the news with the most fantasy implications revolves around the Dallas Star's Kari Lehtonen who sustained an apparent concussion on Saturday and could not finish the game. The comments from Dallas coach Lindsey Ruff seems to suggest that the goaltender could miss some time, opening the door for recently acquired Tim Thomas to make his first start for the Stars tonight. More importantly, the two-time Vezina winner could make a serious fantasy splash as the Stars are holding on to the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference. Thomas was 16-20-3 with a 2.87 GAA with Florida, but self-admittedly that "money" goalies perform at a higher level when the post-season is at stake. With the Panthers, he was playing out the season. Now all of the sudden, he is thrown back on the big stage. Given Dallas has 4 games this week, Thomas makes for a great start, but his dividends can pay off the rest of the season if Lehtonen's head injury turns out to be serious. Monitor this situation closely as this new Star is about to get a huge boost in fantasy value. The Ranger's Henrik Lundqvist seems back on track with his second straight quality start, a 30-save blanking of the Red Wings. Not entirely on his game since arriving from the Olympics, his overall pedestrian numbers so far- 24 wins, 2.50 GAA and .916 SP- suggest that there is huge room for improvement. With playoff momentum on the line, look for Lundqvist's numbers to drastically pick up moving forward. With the arrival of Marian Gaborik in Los Angeles, the King who has clicked the most is Jeff Carter. The 29-year old had a heck of a night in the 4-2 win over Edmonton, generating most of the offense with two goals and an assist. His move to the second line will help his even-strength production, while he still holds a spot on the top power play. Until Gaborik proves something, Carter is the most valuable fantasy forward asset on the Kings outside of Anze Kopitar.
