Franzen nets another game winner: Johan Franzen scored with 1:39 left in overtime to give the Detroit Red Wings a 1-0 win over the Nashville Predators on Sunday. Franzen's goal also ended the franchise-record 233 minute, 39 second shutout streak of Nashville goalie Dan Ellis, who finished with 35 saves. Ellis stopped Henrik Zetterberg's original shot, but Franzen was able to get just enough of the rebound and bounce it into the net for his 26th goal. (Updated 03/30/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Franzen has 14 goals and four assists in his last 13 games. It was his sixth game-winner of the month, which broke the franchise record formerly held by Gordie Howe. Franzen has been doing well on the top power-play unit with Tomas Holmstrom sidelined by a groin strain. He has also been thriving as a winger on the same line with Henrik Zetterberg. It took Franzen pretty much all season, but he is finally hitting his offensive stride. Start him while he is on a roll. (Updated 03/30/2008).
