64 Tyler Motte RW

Canucks' Tyler Motte: Season may be over

Motte's absence the rest of the way shouldn't mean a ton from a fantasy standpoint, considering he owns just 16 points through 74 contests, though he does hold some value in leagues that support the hits (200) statistic. Without him for potentially the remainder of the season, look for Ryan Spooner, Nikolay Goldobin and Tim Schaller to all vie for a spot in the lineup. Spooner looks to be in line for his spot Tuesday against the Ducks.

Canucks' Tyler Motte: Absent from morning skate

Motte exited Sunday's game against the Blue Jackets after suffering an upper-body injury, and his absence from Tuesday's skate all but confirms he won't be available for the evening's matchup with Anaheim. The 24-year-old's absence will test the Canucks' depth up front, but it won't impact many fantasy lineups, as he's only picked up 16 points in 74 appearances while skating in a bottom-six role this season. Another update on his status should surface once he's ready to rejoin the lineup.

Canucks' Tyler Motte: Leaves game with UBI

Motte logged just 3:52 of ice time before being forced to depart due to injury. Another update on the winger's status moving forward will likely come after Sunday's game. Vancouver's' next game comes Tuesday versus Anaheim.

Canucks' Tyler Motte: Breaks 17-game pointless streak

The 24-year-old came into the night with zero points in the last 17 games, so any type of point was a welcome sight, let alone a pair of goals. Motte started the season decently, but since the All-Star break, he had one goal and a minus-6 rating before adding two goals and a plus-2 mark here. Still, he has a career-high nine goals and 16 points in 68 games this season.

Canucks' Tyler Motte: Shows tenacity in loss

Motte has only a single goal in seven games in February, but has posted 24 hits and 14 shots over that span. Motte has picked up the pace with his checking, averaging 2.66 hits per game this season compared to his career average of 1.96. However, while he has a career-high 14 points, he hasn't scored consistently enough to merit fantasy attention.
