Keith Yandle Partners With Alex Petrovic On Tuesday
6 years agoFlorida Panthers defenseman Keith Yandle will get a more defensive-minded partner for Tuesday's tilt against the Rangers, with him and Aaron Ekblad split apart by head coach Bob Boughner. Yandle is expected to get more freedom on the ice after being paired with Alex Petrovic, while Ekblad will play with Michael Matheson. The Panthers have given up a whopping 3.83 goals per game, so something needed to change defensively. Yandle shares the team lead with seven points in six games and with him still on the top power-play unit, his fantasy value gets a bump, as he doesn't have to worry about his defensive responsibilities as much now.
