22 Kevin Shattenkirk D

Shattenkirk had two assists with six PIM and three shots on net and a plus-2 rating in a 4-3 loss to the Maple Leafs on Tuesday.

This was Shattenkirk's first multi-point game since Nov. 14, but he still has a goal and five points in the last five games. While he's benefited from a higher-than-normal shooting percentage this season, Shattenkirk is still putting together the most complete season of his career in his first campaign with the Lightning. He has eight goals and 33 points with a plus- 24 rating, 34 PIM and 119 shots on net in 63 games this season.

Shattenkirk scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Golden Knights.

Shattenkirk opened the scoring at 7:02 of the first period. The 31-year-old defenseman has a goal and two assists during his modest three-game point streak. For the year, he's at 31 points, 114 shots and a plus-23 rating in 61 appearances.

Shattenkirk generated an assist, four hits, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Monday's 4-3 overtime win over the Avalanche.

Shattenkirk has just three assists through nine games in February. With his helper Monday, he reached the 30-point mark (seven tallies, 23 apples), which is his highest production since he had 56 points in 2016-17. He's added 111 shots, 53 hits and 59 blocks in 60 appearances this year.

Shattenkirk picked up an assist in Saturday's 5-3 victory over the Flyers.

It was Shattenkirk's first point in seven games and second in 13. His game has slowed significantly after such a hot start to the season (21 points in hist first 26 games). Still, Shattenkirk's 28 points in 58 games match his output from 73 games last year. So, while 2019-20 is all about redemption, his sluggish pace right now is a frustration to most fantasy owners. We'd consider benching him until he snaps his game back.

Shattenkirk generated an assist in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Sharks.

The defenseman had just two points through 13 games in January, although he posted a plus-11 rating in that span. He'll hope for more success on the scoresheet in February. For the year, Shattenkirk has 28 points in 52 games, matching his production from 73 outings last year with the Rangers. He's added 98 shots on goal, 53 blocked shots and a plus-22 rating this season.

Shattenkirk scored a goal Tuesday in Tampa Bay's 6-4 win over Buffalo.

It's the first time he's put up points in back-to-back games since Dec. 3 and 5. Shattenkirk is on pace for 53 points, which would be the second-best campaign of his career. Get him back in your lineup as soon as possible.

Shattenkirk notched an assist in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Red Wings.

Shattenkirk set up the opening goal by Ondrej Palat in the second period. It's been a rough December for the blueliner -- he has just five assists in 13 games after posting 19 points through the first 24 contests this year.

Shattenkirk has just a single assist in his last seven games.

A cool streak was inevitable -- Shattenkirk was red hot over the first couple months of the season. The Bolts are poised to take a big leap in the new year, so watch for Shattenkirk to benefit from improved team play. But until then, bench him.

Shattenkirk has racked up five helpers while posting a plus-3 rating in his last six games.

Shattenkirk's currently on pace to set new career highs in goals and assists. He's thrived while skating on the Lightning's top pairing and second power-play unit, and he's shown no signs of slowing down. The 30-year-old blueliner will look to keep rolling Thursday in a matchup with a Minnesota team that's allowing 3.14 goals per game this campaign, 20th in the NHL.

Shattenkirk picked up two assists in a 5-3 win over Buffalo on Saturday in the 2019 NHL Global Series in Stockholm, Sweden.

One of the assists came on the power play. Shattenkirk is riding a four-game, six-assist streak and has a remarkable 13 points in 15 games so far. He won't keep this up, but Shattenkirk could best his career mark of 45 points.

Shattenkirk collected a pair of assists -- one on the power play -- in Wednesday night's 7-6 overtime win versus the Devils.

With Victor Hedman nursing a lower-body injury, Shattenkirk saw an expanded role Wednesday and made the most of the opportunity. His 21:06 was second only to Ryan McDonagh (25:27). Two more assists give Shattenkirk five total for the season, to go along with four goals. After two disappointing seasons with the Rangers, Shattenkirk appears rejuvenated in Tampa Bay, making him a solid fantasy option in most formats, especially with Hedman out of the lineup.

Shattenkirk has seven points, including four goals, in 11 games this season.

More importantly, at least short term, is a possible increased role on the power play with Victor Hedman (lower body) nursing a day-to-day injury. Shattenkirk has the talent to play maestro on that unit, but Mikhail Sergachev could also see increased time there. Hedman's injury is thought to be minor, so the increased responsibility may be short-lived. Still, Shattenkirk has done much to prove his career isn't over and that he has plenty of fantasy value left in the tank.

Shattenkirk scored a goal in the Lightning's 4-3 shootout victory over the Bruins on Thursday night.

The guy not wanted by his last team has delivered five points, including four goals, in just seven games. Shattenkirk has been a fantasy bargain so far. He is getting lots of power-play time and could be on track to come close to his 56-point career high. Use him well.

Shattenkirk lit the lamp on the power play in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Hurricanes.

Although the Lightning have started 1-1-1 this season, Shattenkirk's addition looks like a hit so far. The veteran blueliner has two goals -- one on the power play -- and an assist while firing 11 shots on net so far. He's also averaging 22:17 TOI per game on the top pairing with Victor Hedman, including time on the second power-play unit. While his 18.2 shooting percentage is bound to regress, Shattenkirk fits into this group and has a good shot at getting back into the 40-point range.

Shattenkirk inked a one-year, $1.75 million contract with Tampa Bay on Monday.

Shattenkirk -- who was officially bought out by the Rangers on Aug. 1 -- will now follow in the steps of former New York/Tampa Bay defenseman Dan Girardi by trying to revitalize his career with a move south. With his new club, the veteran Shattenkirk could find himself paired up with Victor Hedman as well as possibly seeing minutes with the No. 2 power-play unit, both of which would bolster his fantasy value heading into the 2019-20 campaign.

Shattenkirk had his contract bought out by the Rangers on Wednesday, Brett Cyrgalis of the New York Post reports.

Shattenkirk obviously didn't live up to the four-year, $26.6 million extension he signed with the Rangers two summers ago. He racked up 51 points in 119 games, but was a minus-29 in two seasons. His contract being off the books will save the team just over $5 million in cap space for the upcoming season, but the Blueshirts will have a $6 million dead cap hit toward the cap for the 2020-21 season. After fizzling out in the Big Apple, Shattenkirk will surely find another team, but he'll likely be settling for a lot less money.

Shattenkirk registered an assist and four hits in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Oilers.

The veteran blueliner also had two PIM, two shots and a blocked shot in his 16:00 of ice time. A once-reliable 40-plus-point producer, Shattenkirk has two goals and 22 assists in 60 contests this season, the third straight year he's produced at a reduced level.

Shattenkirk (coach's decision) will return to the lineup for Saturday's game against the Devils, Colin Stephenson of Newsday reports.

Shattenkirk sat as a healthy scratch for Thursday's game against Detroit, but he's apparently no longer in coach David Quinn's dog house. The 30-year-old blueliner will return to a prominent role Saturday, skating on the Rangers' top pairing and second power-play unit against New Jersey.

Shattenkirk will not dress for Thursday's game against the Red Wings, Colin Stephenson of Newsday reports.

Coach David Quinn noted that Shattenkirk's play has dropped recently, which likely contributed to the decision to withhold him from Thursday's affair. The veteran blueliner has still totaled eight assists in the last 11 games, so his absence could be felt in some fantasy circles. His next chance to draw in arrives Saturday against the Devils.

Shattenkirk picked up an assist Wednesday in a 4-3 loss to the Lightning.

Shattenkirk underachieved in the first half of the season, as he potted just one goal around eight assists over 30 games to close out 2018. However, he's been grooving to a half-point-per-game pace since then. The prolific defenseman was able to put a shoulder injury fully behind him, and the production has naturally followed. Shattenkirk still appears to be on a minutes restriction, but his spot on the No. 1 power-play unit keeps him from fading into relative obscurity.
