Fritsche moves back to center: The Sports Xchange reports before taking off with the Wild for New York, center Dan Fritsche joked he would consume 10 Red Bulls in preparation for Minnesota's game Tuesday with the Rangers. Fritsche was jettisoned by New York in January after he was a scratch in all but one game for the Rangers from Nov. 30 to Jan. 29. Since arriving in Minnesota in a swap for defenseman Erik Reitz, Fritsche has played in all 26 games for the Wild. "You want to show them how I'm playing in Minnesota and what I can do," Fritsche said of playing against the Rangers. "You want to prove yourself. You almost want to show them what they traded. I'm sure every player thinks that way when they play old teams." Fritsche had a quiet game, however, with no shots on goal in 15 minutes.

Fantasy Analysis

Fritsche, 23, has been a nice addition to a Wild team that lacks depth. He entered Tuesday's game with three goals and four assists in 25 games. He's gotten power-play and penalty-kill time, but after being saddled for much of his time in Minnesota on the fourth line, he's suddenly expected to see significant ice time now that center Mikko Koivu is out with a knee injury. He has moved to his natural center position from right wing and is excited. "Not only am I looking forward to playing a lot, I'm looking forward to the responsibility that's on my shoulders," Fritsche said. "It's the final (nine) games. It's the stretch run. You can't ask for a more crucial time to be given this type of responsibility." While Fritsche might be needed at center, he doesn't have nearly the talent of Koivu. He still has minimal Fantasy appeal.
