• Stars' Nils Lundkvist : Picks up assist

  5D ago • By RotoWire

  Lundkvist notched an assist and went plus-2 in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Flames. Lundkvist has been in the lineup for six games in a row since he recovered from a lower-body injury. The defenseman picked up his first point since Nov. 7 when he set up Thomas Harley's first goal in the third period. Lundkvist is now at two assists, 27 shots on net, 15 hits, 15 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating through 21 appearances. That's not enough production in any area to be trusted in fantasy, though it looks like he has the upper hand over Brendan Smith for a spot in the lineup.

• Stars' Nils Lundkvist : Still sidelined versus Carolina

  19D ago • By RotoWire

  Lundkvist (lower body) will remain on the shelf against Carolina on Monday, Sam Nestler of DLLS Stars reports. Lundkvist will miss his fourth game in the Stars' last five contests, with his last two absences due to his lower-body injury. Even when healthy, the 24-year-old blueliner is far from a lock for the lineup and will likely split time with Brendan Smith the rest of the way. As such, Lundkvist will be hard-pressed to offer more than low-end fantasy value, with most of that production coming from hits and blocked shots, though he's not an elite option in either of those categories.
