2 months agoAccording to the league, Minnesota Wild right wing Ryan Hartman has been suspended for 10 games due to roughing Ottawa Senators center Tim Stuzzle on Saturday evening. Hartman has received several suspensions throughout his career. This is his fifth career suspension. As a result, fantasy managers should not expect Hartman back in the lineup until their clash with the Pittsburgh Penguins on March 9. However, the veteran forward does have a 48-hour window if he chooses to appeal the suspension. While sidelined, fantasy managers should expect Ben Jones to draw into the bottom six. Over his previous 10 games, Hartman has tallied five points (two goals, three helpers) with eight hits, five blocks, and 30 penalty minutes. Through 48 total games, he has tallied 17 points with 60 penalty minutes, 53 hits, and 30 blocks.

5 months agoMinnesota Wild forward Ryan Hartman (upper body) will return from a five-game absence on Friday versus Tampa Bay. Hartman was sidelined early in the campaign by an upper-body injury after he scored two goals in four games. He re-enters the lineup on the fourth line, as the team doesn't want to break up its current third line, which has been performing well. Hartman's presence adds fantasy value to Marat Khusnutdinov and Jakub Lauko, although there's going to be only limited action available for the fourth line.

5 months agoMinnesota Wild forward Ryan Hartman (upper body, illness) will miss a third consecutive game on Thursday versus Tampa Bay. Hartman was knocked out of the lineup by an upper-body injury last week and is currently also battling an illness. Before running into health issues, Hartman posted two goals in four games with 12 shots. Marat Khusnutdinov has moved to the third line during his absence. The Russian centerman hasn't been effective offensively, picking up one assist in six appearances this season. Hartman's next opportunity to return comes on Saturday versus Philadelphia.

5 months agoMinnesota Wild forward Ryan Hartman (upper body) is considered day-to-day despite coming through a full practice on Monday. He missed his first game of the season on Saturday against Columbus due to an upper-body injury. It looks like he might return to the lineup for Tuesday's game against Florida, but we won't know for certain until after the morning skate. Hartman has registered two goals with 12 shots in four appearances this season. He started the campaign on the third line but has also seen some top-six action due to Joel Eriksson Ek's absence. Eriksson Ek was back in the lineup at the weekend, which doesn't bode well for Hartman's fantasy value.
