Michael Carcone - Helps out on power playCarcone notched a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Avalanche.
ImpactAside from a short stretch around the start of November, Carcone has received virtually no power-play time. It's possible the Coyotes put him out there Saturday because they were too far behind and wanted to rest their better players. Carcone has certainly earned more looks with the man advantage -- he has 14 goals, five assists, 48 shots on net and a plus-6 rating through 32 appearances this season.

Sean Durzi - Adds power-play assistDurzi notched a power-play assist, two shots on goal, two blocked shots and a minus-2 rating in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Avalanche.
ImpactDurzi has three assists over two games since he returned from a lower-body injury. With Janis Moser (upper body) leaving Saturday's game early, Durzi could see a larger role following the holiday break. Durzi is up to 16 points (eight on the power play), 50 shots on net, 59 blocked shots, 33 PIM and a plus-8 rating through 27 outings overall. He is a solid depth defenseman for most fantasy formats.
