Looking Ahead – Week 14
Dave Poleck
2012-01-08
A tough decision can be made easier with these charts showing you the best five and worst five schedules for upcoming seven-day periods. Some of you used them last year but for the benefit of new readers here is a refresher. The number next to the team indicates the ‘multiplier’ to use on a player’s point-per-game pace to give you an idea how many points to expect for that week.
This has been a mess of a week for me so I apologize for the lateness of the article. I put this chart together to give you guys an idea of how many games divisional opponents have left against each other this year. Although it's the half way point of the season, you're going to notice that we will be seeing a lot more divisional play than we did in the first half.

Keeping Karlsson Short Shifts – Thanks for Vejmelkmories
Elizabeth and Lewis reunite to bring you all the latest fantasy news and strategy, such as how our siblings would fare if called on to fill our roles like Owen Sillinger did for bro Cole. Then it’s onto news including coverage of the postponed CGY/LAK game and defensive injuries piling up in MIN and putting some strain on Gustavsson’s performance. Injuries and outjuries include a pair of goalies returning to their teams in Ingram and Shesterkin, as well as how Monahan’s wrist injury opens the door for big minutes for Fantilli.
