Ryan Hartman Dealing With Upper-Body Injury
1 year agoMinnesota Wild center Ryan Hartman is dealing with an upper-body injury and left Thursday's practice early, although his departure was planned, according to head coach Dean Evason. Evason said he doesn't want Hartman participating in contact drills at this stage in camp. The 29-year-old recorded 15 goals and 37 points across 59 games last season but also recorded a career-high 34 goals and 239 shots on goal in the 2021-22 campaign. Additionally, Hartman has recorded at least 90 penalty minutes in each of the last two seasons. Given his goal-scoring potential, ability to rack up shots and penalty minutes, and his spot as the club's No. 1 center in between Mats Zuccarello and Kirill Kaprizov, Hartman could be a quality depth piece in fantasy leagues this winter.
