Salo returns for Game 5: Canucks defenseman Sami Salo returned to the Vancouver lineup for Game 5 of the Western Conference semifinals after missing most of the previous three games because of an undisclosed lower-body injury. Salo, the Canucks' top defenseman, was injured while scoring a power-play goal early in Game 2 one week earlier. It was his third goal and sixth point in five playoffs games. Salo went straight to the locker room after the injury and hadn't played since then. He flew to Chicago during Game 3 on Tuesday and has been skating for five days. Salo failed to tally a point in the game.

Fantasy Analysis

Salo has solid offensive skills but is a bit injury proned. He is one of the top defenders the Canucks have but is merely a low-end, injury risk player in Fantasy. Think of him as an injury-risk option on Draft Day 2009.
