A Roto-Look Ahead – Week 23
Tom Reeve
2009-03-05
Starting March 6 the Carolina Hurricanes play five games in seven nights. The Hurricanes are old hands at this because although it only happens 12 times for all teams during the whole NHL season it happens to the Hurricanes three times. They play the Flames, Lightning, Rangers, Blackhawks and Stars with only two homes games so there is a lot of travel.
Looking at a team’s schedule may help your chances of finding a good injury replacement. Here are some of the high and low ratings for teams over a two, three and four week period starting March 6, 2009. The rating is shown in brackets.
Two weeks
High ratings: Blues (7.80), Lightning (7.54), Maple Leafs (7.38)
Low ratings: Blue Jackets (5.69), Rangers (5.69), Kings (5.41)
Three weeks
High ratings: Thrashers (11.19), Canadiens (11.05)
Low ratings: Islanders (8.49), Bruins (7.90)
Four weeks
High ratings: Blues (14.54), Senators (14.18)
Low ratings: Predators (11.49), Penguins (10.98)

Keeping Karlsson Short Shifts – The Wilkes-Jarry Penguins
Elizabeth and Lewis are back to take listeners through a host of power play changes that are giving managers the opportunity to get exposure to great players off the waiver wire, including Philly, Jersey, and Tampa talk. They also cover Jarry’s AHL demotion, Cooley’s ascension to the top-line and powerplay, and injuries to Tavares and Hintz. The duo wrap up with some hot and cold streak deep dives, including discussion of the Red Wings crazy powerplay success in the last ten games, whether Erik Gustafsson is rosterable or an overperforming illusion, Fantilli’s continued success, Merilainen as Hamburglar 2.0, and whether Schenn’s success and Neighbours’ lack thereof are likely to continue.
