Mikko Koskinen Rebounds With Strong Performance
6 years agoEdmonton Oilers goaltender Mikko Koskinen captured his 13th victory of the season in his team's 7-2 defeat of the Buffalo Sabres on Monday night. After allowing two goals in the first period, the 30-year-old rookie held the Sabres scoreless for the remaining 51:03 of the contest and finished his night with 41 saves on 43 shots against. The Oilers desperately needed Koskinen to find his game in this one after the Finnish native had managed to give up six goals on just 27 shots in his previous two appearances. Koskinen has struggled mightily over the past month (4.15 goals-against average, .884 save percentage) and his ownership has dipped to just 44% in Yahoo! leagues. He'll need similar performances to Monday's win in order to get back into good graces with fantasy owners.
