Avalanche's Jarome Iginla: Struggling mightily this year

Iginla has just two points -- both goals -- in 14 games this year.

Analysis:

Even though he's getting up there at 39 years old, this sudden lack of production from Iggy is dizzying, considering he rattled off 22 goals and 47 points last season. As a result of his struggles, the former Flame has seen his ice time plummet to 15:56 per game, well down from the 18-plus he averaged in each of his first two seasons in Denver. Even more concerning is his low shot total (22), as Iginla used to routinely hover around the 300 mark in his prime and has settled in the 180-210 range in his last three campaigns. Given his sharp decline and painful drought, Iginla is probably best suited for the waiver wire in shallow and medium leagues, and he should be stapled to your fantasy bench in deeper formats until he shows some signs of life.
