Stars' Jiri Hudler: Likely done for season
Jiri Hudler (lower body) isn't expected to play again this season, Mark Stepneski of the Dallas Stars' official site reports.Hudler hasn't provided a ton of offense for the Stars, collecting just 11 points (three goals, eight assists) over 32 tilts with the club. With only two games remaining in the regular season for Dallas, this shouldn't come as much of a loss for either the club -- which has been eliminated from playoff contention -- or the majority of fantasy leagues. Hudler finishes the campaign with a meager 27 shots on goal, a minus-3 rating and just four penalty minutes. The 33-year-old will enter free agency in the offseason and won't likely be a prime fantasy target in 2017-18.

Stars' Jiri Hudler: Starting to show up
Jiri Hudler had a goal and an assist in a losing effort against Boston on Sunday.Hudler's had a rough season between illness and healthy scratches. He's only played 26 games and has been having his minutes limited. However, he has a goal and two assists over the last two games despite seeing only 23:27 of ice time between those two games. He's still a risk to roster, but might be worth keeping an eye on in case he starts to return to form.

Stars' Jiri Hudler: Moved to press box
Jiri Hudler was a healthy scratch for Saturday's game against the Capitals, as head coach Lindy Ruff searches for stronger play on the puck, Bill Nichols and Mike Heika of The Dallas Morning News report.Hudler has managed just two goals and seven points this season, although both goals and five points have come over the past seven games. Apparently that wasn't good enough progress for Ruff. If you were considering Hudler in deeper fantasy pools based on the recent hot streak, Saturday's healthy scratch should splash cold water on that notion.

Stars' Jiri Hudler: Posts multi-point night in top-line role
Jiri Hudler scored a goal and registered an assist through 12:30 of ice time during Monday's win over Los Angeles.The veteran posted a top-10 finish in points just two years ago, and he hit stride Monday while skating on the No. 1 line. His fantasy value is in limbo because Jamie Benn's (foot) return could quickly bump Hudler to a supporting role again, but Monday's showing highlights Hudler's fleeting uptick in fantasy value. It could also represent a sign of things to come. In deep seasonal leagues, it isn't out of the question to make Hudler a speculative add. He's also a potential low-priced consideration in daily contests while receiving a top-line look.

Stars' Jiri Hudler: Skating with top line
Jiri Hudler skated on the No. 1 line with Tyler Seguin and Jason Spezza during Monday's morning skate, Mike Heika of the Dallas Morning News reports.Seguin and Spezza are the two best healthy scorers for Dallas, so Hudler's fantasy stock receives an instant upgrade with his projected promotion. While there is no guarantee the 33-year-old veteran sticks in the role for the entire game or beyond Monday's date with Los Angeles, Hudler is a potential low-priced flier in daily contests for the game and his production is worth monitoring in deep seasonal leagues.
