Predators' Barret Jackman: Watches from press box Tuesday vs. Stars

Jackman was a healthy scratch for Tuesday's 5-3 win against the Stars.

With Shea Weber returning from a three-game absence due to to lower-body injury, somebody had to sit, and Jackman was unlucky enough to draw the short straw. Mind you, with just five points in 61 games, he has not contributed much offensively this season. Furthermore, his plus-1 rating suggests he is barely keeping his head above water defensively, so it's not hard to see why the Preds' coaching staff might be losing confidence in him. Bottom line, Jackman represents too big of a fantasy risk to be in your lineup right now. Seek out other options if you can.
