Bruins' John-Michael Liles: Won't be re-signed
GM Don Sweeney confirmed that John-Michael Liles is not in the Boston Bruins' plans for the coming season, CSN New England reports.The veteran blueliner will thus look to catch on with another team once free agency opens this weekend. Liles is coming off a 2016-17 campaign in which he logged five helpers in 36 regular-season games for the Bruins. At this stage of his career, Liles' fantasy value is modest, but the 36-year-old can still provide valuable blue-line depth and experience wherever he lands.

Bruins' John-Michael Liles: Chips in rare offense in Game 3
John-Michael Liles collected two assists during Monday's Game 3 loss to Ottawa.Boston scored three second-period goals, and Liles assisted on the first two. He was a regular in the press box throughout the season and played just 12:24 during Game 3, so don't let this offensive outburst fool you. Liles could return to being a healthy scratch in short order if the Boston blue line gets someone back from injury for Game 4.

Bruins' John-Michael Liles: Watches from press box
John-Michael Liles was a healthy scratch for the eighth consecutive game Wednesday against Calgary.The veteran has suited up for just two of the past 20 contests and totaled only five assists through 31 games this season. Liles is completely off the fantasy grid at this stage of the game, and unless he draws into the lineup consistently and carves out a decent role, his virtual status is unlikely to change this year.

Bruins' John-Michael Liles: Healthy scratch Tuesday
John-Michael Liles was a healthy scratch for Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Lightning.With the Boston Bruins' top blueliners healthy at the moment, Liles and Joe Morrow are currently the odd men out of the lineup. Liles is presumably the next man up, however, the next time injuries hit. Through 29 games this season, the 36-year-old rearguard has logged five assists.

Bruins' John-Michael Liles: In Sunday's lineup
John-Michael Liles (concussion) will draw into Sunday's lineup against the Hurricanes, Fluto Shinzawa of the Boston Globe reports.Liles return will provide the Boston Bruins with a bit of a boost along the blue line, but his five assists in 22 contests don't make him a huge fantasy asset.

Bruins' John-Michael Liles: Could play as soon as Sunday
John-Michael Liles (concussion) could return to action as soon as Sunday's game against the Hurricanes.Per coach Claude Julien, a decision on that front will be made after warmups Sunday, though with just five helpers over 22 games to date, Liles -- who the Boston Bruins acquired from Carolina last February -- is off the fantasy radar in most formats.

Bruins' John-Michael Liles: Inches toward return
Coach Claude Julien suggested that John-Michael Liles (concussion) is inching toward a return to action. "I think he feels good enough that we'll probably have to make a decision on him sometime soon," Julien noted Friday.Liles, who suffered what the Boston Herald describes as a severe concussion back on Nov. 27, could add some veteran depth and leadership to the Boston Bruins' blue line once he's available, but the 36-year-old hasn't been much of a fantasy factor this season, having logged five helpers over 22 games.

Bruins' John-Michael Liles: Moved to IR
John-Michael Liles (concussion) is showing on injured reserve, per the NHL's official media site.For obvious reasons, the B's need to protect Liles' head. With towering defenseman Zdeno Chara (lower body) also injured, it might be in the best interest of the Boston Bruins to summon a rearguard from the minors -- currently, the team only has six healthy skaters available on the back line.

Bruins' John-Michael Liles: Receives concussion diagnosis Tuesday
John-Michael Liles is out indefinitely after sustaining a concussion in Sunday's game against the Lightning.Liles' concussion occurred when he crashed into the end boards during Sunday's tilt. The blueliner did not travel with the team for Tuesday's game, presumably to receive treatment. It's unclear at this point how long the 36-year-old will be sidelined. With Zdeno Chara ailing as well, the Boston Bruins will likely look to Kevan Miller and Brandon Carlo to assume more playing time on the defensive end.
