Gonchar wins Cup on bum knee: Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Sergei Gonchar played the final two rounds of the Stanley Cup playoffs with a partially torn right medial collateral ligament, a major injury that can sideline an athlete for months. Gonchar, playing through the injury because he wanted to win the Stanley Cup for the first time in an NHL career that began during the 1994-95 season, was injured during a knee-to-knee hit by Washington star Alex Ovechkin in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semifinals. Gonchar missed two games, returned for Game 7 of that series and played in the conference finals against Carolina and the Stanley Cup finals against Detroit without missing another game for the Stanley Cup champion Penguins. "Lots of guys were playing with bruises," Gonchar said Sunday of refusing to be sidelined.

Injury Report

Knee - Questionable for the start of training camp

Fantasy Analysis

Gonchar was initially told after getting hurt May 8 that he might be out a month to six weeks, only to return in a week. A point man on the Penguins' power play, Gonchar wasn't as productive as usual following his second serious injury of the season, getting one goal and four assists in his final 12 games. The goal came during Pittsburgh's 4-2 victory in Game 3 against Detroit. Gonchar missed the first two-thirds of the NHL season with a shoulder injury that occurred during the Penguins' first preseason game. Despite getting hurt again, he told teammates he couldn't sit out during the most important time of the season. "I told the guys they were realizing how important it is now, in the playoffs, it's that time of the year when you have the chance to make your dream come true," Gonchar said. "That's why you're playing through everything, just to get it. It's not only me, everybody sacrificed somehow to get it." The Penguins have talked nothing about what is going to happen to Gonchar now the playoffs are done, but if he needs surgery, then his status for the beginning of 2009-10 could be in serious jeopardy. Gonchar can still be an effective Fantasy defenseman when healthy, but is going to be an injury-risk selection on Draft Day.
