Player News

Chipchura adds two goals in Phoenix win | 02/27/2013 1:59 AM

News

Kyle Chipchura tallied two goals in Phoenix's 4-2 victory over Vancouver on Tuesday night.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

Chipchura has scored four of his five goals of the season in his past four games, so he's definitely picked up his play offensively. His career high for goals in a season is six, so he should break this personal best. However, Phoenix does not rely heavily on Chipchura and he should not be looked upon as a serious fantasy option moving forward.
