Headlines

Kotalik has first goal with Flames: Ales Kotalik and Mark Giordano scored, and Miikka Kiprusoff made 12 saves in the Flames' 2-1 victory over the Panthers on Friday. It was Kotalik's first goal for the Flames since joining the team Sunday in a trade with the New York Rangers. Calgary opened the scoring with 10 seconds left in the first period. On a power play, Kotalik passed across the crease toward Matt Stajan at the side of the net. The puck glanced off a Panthers players' skate and into the net to give the Flames a 1-0 lead. "It doesn't matter [how it looks], it still counts when it goes in," Kotalik said. "You create an opportunity around the net and sometimes it isn't pretty."

Fantasy Analysis

Kotalik is looking to start anew after his brief time with New York didn't go as planned. Kotalik was a key offseason signing and got off to a solid start in October. But as soon as his play began to tail off, Kotalik made his way into the doghouse and eventually couldn't get out. He has heavy shot that will be utilized on the power play. However, Kotalik remains a low-end Fantasy flier.
(Updated 02/06/2010).

RW Ales Kotalik was given a game misconduct for not having his sweater tied down and being in a fight late in the first period. Combined with Bourque's injury, the Flames had to play without two top-six forwards even though they were playing for the second consecutive night. 26//2010

The New York Rangers acquired forwards Olli Jokinen and Brandon Prust from the Calgary Flames for forwards Kotalik and Christopher Higgins late Monday night.

Advice

Kotalik was a major disappointment with 22 points for New York and not a faborite of coach John Tortorella. Fantasy owners have to hope the change of scenery will help him find his game.
