Fantasy Analysis

Pitkanen got off to a slow start in March and had to miss a game on Thursday due to injury. Hopefully the day off will recharge his batteries and he'll be able to turn it on the rest of the season. He's not the top offensive player he once was and should now be thought of as a No. 4 or 5 Fantasy defenseman.
(Updated 03/14/2009).

D Joni Pitkanen has been one of the quiet contributors for the Hurricanes during the postseason. His ability to pinch in from the blue line has created scoring chances, even doing so in what was an otherwise dismal Game 5 performance for the Hurricanes. He accounted for two of the three shots on goal from the team's defensemen in the game. 51/1/2009
