2012 Fantasy Outlook
Hovinen has been splitting starts in the Finnish professional league for the last six seasons. At 6-foot-7, Hovinen has a massive presence in the butterfly and may have an opportunity to prove himself this year backing up Ilya Bryzgalov, as he could compete with Michael Leighton for that role. Remember his name in keeper leagues if any injuries befall the Flyers' netminders.
