Bruins' Daniel Winnik: Heading into camp on PTO
Daniel Winnik landed a professional tryout agreement with the Boston Bruins, the club announced Monday.Winnik logged 81 games for the Wild last season, in which he tallied six goals, 17 helpers and 82 shots, while averaging 13:34 of ice time. The veteran winger will likely have a hard time beating out youngsters Danton Heinen, Ryan Donato and Anders Bjork for a spot on the 23-man roster, but he might be able to add a level of grit and physicality the team is otherwise missing in the bottom six.

Wild's Daniel Winnik: Sneaky source of points
Daniel Winnik accumulated six goals and 17 assists for his second consecutive 20-plus-point campaign in 2017-18.Winnik is a journeyman who will be able to hit the open market this summer, having already been under contract by the Maple Leafs, Ducks, Avalanche, Coyotes and Minnesota Wild through 11 years of NHL service time. He looked pretty good in his bottom-six role with Minnesota, but it remains to be seen which direction that club will head now that Chuck Fletcher is out as general manager.

Wild's Daniel Winnik: Triggers goal siren
Daniel Winnik brushed twine in Friday's 4-2 road loss to the Panthers.Winnik's third goal of the season looked like it might hold up as the game-winner, but the Cats went on a tear in the third period and buried three unanswered goals to win the game.

Wild's Daniel Winnik: Stuck in rut
Daniel Winnik is still looking for goal No. 3 of the season, as his drought recently reached 24 games.During Winnik's goalless streak, he has compiled a mere six helpers, nine PIM and 10 blocks. One important factor in the veteran's inability to find the back of the net is his lack of shots, as he is averaging just one per game during his dry spell. The 32-year-old notched 12 goals last season and will almost certainly miss that mark this time around.

Wild's Daniel Winnik: Goal drought extends to eight games
Daniel Winnik failed to score a goal for the eighth consecutive game during Tuesday's 3-0 win over Philadelphia.Winnik has carved out an important defensive role in his first campaign with the Minnesota Wild. He's beginning 54.0 percent of his five-on-five shifts in his own zone and is averaging 2:16 per contest killing penalties. Unfortunately it's led to just two goals, five points and 16 shots through 17 games, and it would be surprising if the offense began to pick up. As a result, it's difficult to rely on Winnik in the majority of fantasy settings.
