Fantasy Analysis

Despite the fact Rafalski returned to action, the Red Wings offense was stalled Tuesday by the great play of goalie Jonas Hiller. Rafalski should make a difference in this series, and Detroit hopes its Game 7. Rafalski continues to be a solid offensive defenseman and will be a high-end Fantasy option in 2009-10.
