Fantasy Impact

Mikko Koskinen's statistics certainly do not jump off the page this year but irregardless he is picking up wins for fantasy managers. Koskinen has now matched his career high in wins in 38 starts and the last time he recorded 25 wins it took 51 starts. The Oilers netminder has certainly benefitted from the goal support he gets from the team in front of him but as long as he is winning keep rolling him out there.
