  • Lightning's Austin Watson: Taken off IR

    Watson (lower body) has been activated off injured reserve, per the NHL media site. Watson has missed the team's last four contests due to his lower-body issue but seems to be at least healthy enough to be an option versus the Islanders on Thursday. If the 32-year-old winger does suit up, it would likely be in a bottom-six role that would see Mitchell Chaffee relegated to the press box or even shipped back to the minors.

  • Lightning's Austin Watson: Moves to injured reserve

    Watson (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, per CapFriendly. Watson was deemed week-to-week as of Tuesday, so his placement on IR makes sense. It's unlikely he'll be back before the All-Star break. Mitchell Chaffee was called up from AHL Syracuse to take Watson's spot on the roster.

  • Lightning's Austin Watson: Considered week-to-week

    Watson (lower body) is considered week-to-week, per Gabby Shirley of Bally Sports Florida. As a result, Watson probably won't be available to return before the All-Star break. He has two goals, one assist, 69 PIM and 61 hits in 26 outings this season. Tampa Bay chose to dress 11 forwards and seven defensemen in Tuesday's contest against Philadelphia.

  • Lightning's Austin Watson: Scratched all too often

    Watson has been a healthy scratch in six of the Lightning's last eight games. Watson has played just 17 games this season, and he has one goal to show for it. He does have 45 hits in that span, though, and he sometimes lays out four or five, in the games he does play. But that's not enough to make him roster worthy in fantasy circles.

  • Lightning's Austin Watson: Piles up penalty minutes

    Watson racked up 26 PIM in Friday's 8-2 win against the Hurricanes. Watson didn't score any points, but he was very busy. He was whistled for slashing and abuse of officials in the second period.

  • Lightning's Austin Watson: Still no points this season

    Watson still hasn't found the scoresheet through seven appearances this season. He logged just 6:46 of ice time in Saturday's 6-4 win over Edmonton, getting seven PIM. Watson is struggling to get meaningful ice in Tampa Bay. He has skated in just seven of the team's 18 games, and his time has ranged from a high of 8:55 to a low of 3:30. Watson is on the downside of his NHL career.

    Watson signed a one-year, $776,665 contract with Tampa Bay on Monday. Watson managed to land a contract with the Lightning after attending training camp with the team on a professional tryout agreement. In 75 games with Ottawa last season, he generated nine goals, 11 points, 123 PIM and 165 hits. He will provide some physicality in a fourth-line role with Tampa Bay this campaign, when he gets the opportunity to play.

  • Lightning's Austin Watson: Links up with Tampa on PTO

    Watson (lower body) signed a professional tryout agreement with the Lightning on Wednesday, per CapFriendly. Watson was reportedly looking for a multi-year deal this offseason, but he'll have to settle for a camp invitation. The 31-year-old forward is a strong bottom-six option with penalty-killing skills, and there's a good chance he could receive a contract from the Lightning to bolster their fourth line before the 2023-24 season gets underway.

  • Senators' Austin Watson: Lights lamp twice against Detroit

    Watson scored two goals, one a short-handed game-winner, in Tuesday's 6-1 win over the Red Wings. Both tallies came back-to-back in the first period, breaking open a 1-1 tie and sending the Senators toward a rout. Watson has three goals in his last three games but hadn't found the scoresheet at all in his prior 15, and the fourth-line grinder's main fantasy value still comes from his physical play -- through 56 contests on the season, he has 72 PIM and 132 hits to go along with his seven goals and nine points.

  • Senators' Austin Watson: Game-time decision

    Watson (illness) will be a game-time decision Sunday against St. Louis, Claire Hanna of TSN reports. Watson is expected to take part in pregame warmups before a decision on his status is made. Still, it seems probable that he will return after missing Friday's 4-3 overtime loss to Chicago because Tyler Motte will be scratched Sunday for trade-related reasons. If Watson can't play, Dillon Heatherington could suit up as the seventh defenseman.

  • Senators' Austin Watson: Opens Saturday's scoring

  • Senators' Austin Watson: Finally bends twine

    Watson scored his first goal of the season against the Sabres on Wednesday. Watson has struggled to produce offensively to start the year with just three points in 16 outings. Not surprisingly, his minutes have also been limited, as the 30-year-old winger is averaging just 8:43 of ice time. Considering Watson has never reached the 20-point mark in his eight-year NHL career, this doesn't seem like the season he will suddenly start contributing.

  • Senators' Austin Watson: Eligible to return

    Watson has served his two-game suspension and is eligible to return Thursday versus the Sabres. Watson is expected to play in a bottom-six role after his two-game ban. The 31-year-old has just three points in 31 games this season, though he's added 93 hits and 55 PIM. Given the almost total lack of offense, Watson isn't a player fantasy managers need to follow closely.
