Fantasy Analysis

The 27-year-old Leighton will be backup to Cam Ward, but could eventually see a few extra starts if Ward struggles out of the gate. Leighton was chosen AHL goalie of the year in 2007-08 after leading the league in save percentage (.931) and shutouts (seven) and tying for second in goals-against average (2.10). He appeared in three games with the Hurricanes last season, going 1-1 with a 2.66 goals-against average. Consider Leighton nothing more than a handcuff option for Ward owners or Fantasy flier in leagues that use average points per game.
