I've been a bit surprised at how well Teemu Selanne has played this season, and not at all surprised at the lack of production of Peter Forsberg.

Selanne has 19 points in 21 games, statistics that have been inflated by one five point game, but he is still averaging close to a point a game since returning to the Anaheim lineup after unretiring on Feb. 5. He did go through a five game scoring drought in the first two weeks of March, but has since responded with three goals and seven points in his last five games.

Forsberg is a different story. Whereas Selanne retired, but was healthy, Forsberg missed all of this season trying to get his wonky ankle back in shape and he also had off-season hernia surgery. The Avalanche were so happy to sign him at the trade deadline, but he has been out of action with groin problems and has only two assists in four games played in the month of March.

Fantasy players should be very wary of players returning to action off long and lingering injuries. They might get off to hot starts, but eventually they cool off as they are not in game shape and get re-injured a lot easier. Selanne surprised me this season with his stellar play, but Forsberg did not.

In the future you should let others in your pool take chances on players returning; especially from injuries. More players will turn out like Forsberg than Selanne.
