News: Downie's assist Tuesday against the Canucks stretches his point streak to four games. [+]
Impact: He has five helpers in those four and 31 in 56. His value is boosted by his 153 PIMs. He'd be in elite company if he can pull off 50 points and 200 PIMs. ( RotoWire - Tue. Feb 9, 2010) |
News: Niittymaki made 39 saves in Tuesday's 3-1 win over Vancouver. [+]
Impact: The Finnish streak is sensational right now but beware the unavoidable slump. Trade high if you can -- Mike Smith's owner would be your best bet. Niitty's value is limited but you have the leverage. ( RotoWire - Tue. Feb 9, 2010) |
News: St. Louis scored twice, including one while shorthanded, and added a power-play assist in Tuesday's win over the Canucks. The points extend his scoring streak to seven games and 11 points. [+]
Impact: He has goals in all but one of those games and seven goals and four assists total. The goals give him 20, a feat he has accomplished in the last seven consecutive seasons. And he's on pace for 28 goals and 93 points -- he'll help you win a title. ( RotoWire - Tue. Feb 9, 2010) | |

Kari Lehtonen (ATL)
News: Lehtonen (back) has officially been sent to Dallas in exchange for defenseman Ivan Vishnevskiy and a fourth-round draft pick, Chris Vivlamore of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. [+]
Impact: Since the Thrashers haven't had any production from Lehtonen all season long, they're essentially getting Vishnevskiy for free. Atlanta now only has four players remaining from the 2006-07 team, which is the only playoff team in franchise history. ( RotoWire - Tue. Feb 9, 2010) |

Kari Lehtonen (ATL)
News: Lehtonen appears to be the next Thrasher who will be sent packing, as Atlanta is on the verge of a deal that will send Lehtonen to Dallas, Chris Vivlamore of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. [+]
Impact: It's a deal that won't affect the Thrashers on the ice at all, since Lehtonen hasn't played in four months. Lehtonen could jump in and be the number one in Dallas as Marty Turco continues to struggle. You may want to snatch Lehtonen off of the waiver wire before the trade becomes official.

Boris Valabik (ATL)
News: Valabik has been diagnosed with a torn left ACL and was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. [+]
Impact: Valabik has to wait for the swelling to go down before he can undergo surgery. Expect him to miss a couple months -- if not the rest of the season. ( RotoWire - Tue. Feb 9, 2010) | |
