Fantasy Analysis

Gagner by far had his best month of the season in March with eight goals and nine assists in 15 games. He is off to a fast start in April and continues to be the Oilers' most effective player down the stretch. Gagner won't admit it as a problem with his scoring woes, but he suffered an ankle injury earlier this season and it took him a while to overcome it. He finally seems comfortable and playing up to his ability. Gagner is worth using as a stopgap Fantasy option while he is red hot.

C Sam Gagner took a step back points-wise this season, a big reason why Edmonton missed the playoffs, but he's not going into the summer in a funk. "I knew it was going to be hard coming in this year. You get everybody talking about the sophomore jinx. For me, I was just trying to put that out of my head. I think because everyone was talking about it, I raised my expectations so high. When you raise your expectations that high and you don't achieve them right away you start to panic a little bit. I think I got caught in that trap and I completely got away from my game and that obviously didn't help." The 19-year-old has 41 points this season after 49 last year. 41/1/2009
