Anders Lindback (TB - Goaltender)
News: Lindback and Ben Bishop will platoon next season, according to the Tampa Bay Times. [+]
Impact: They have just 107 NHL games experience between them, so the platoon makes sense until one steps forward. The situation will impact their fantasy value overall, but most notably in weekly head-to-head formats, where getting multiple starts per scoring period is critical. ( RotoWire - Tue.

News: Bishop struggled at the World Hockey Championships while playing for Team USA and finished the tournament on the bench behind 19-year-old Ducks prospect John Gibson. He finished 3-2-0, but sported a 2.83 GAA and .876 save percentage. [+]
Impact: Bolts general manager Steve Yzerman wouldn't talk about the specifics of the performance, only telling the Tampa Bay Times, "You can learn a lot when they [situations] don't go as well and be better for it." Bishop had a particularly bad performance in the final game of the round robin, as his gaffes led to two goals in the first 3:44. He will be in a platoon next season with Anders Lindback, and he'll need to demonstrate resiliency to retain his share of playing time. ( RotoWire - Tue. June 11, 2013) |
