Jets' Matt Hendricks: Announces retirement
Hendricks will call it a career after 11 NHL seasons, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
Hendricks was drafted by the Predators in the fifth round of the 2000 NHL Draft after a four-year collegiate career with St. Cloud State. The 38-year-old would go on to log 607 NHL games for Colorado, Washington, Nashville, Edmonton, Winnipeg and Minnesota, in which he racked up 54 goals, 62 assists and 1394 hits. With his playing days behind him, the center will join the Wild in a player development role.

Jets' Matt Hendricks: Registers helper
Hendricks tallied an assist in Saturday's win over Nashville.
Hendricks has appeared in just two games since joining the Jets at the trade deadline and is averaging a meager 10:14 of ice time when he is in the lineup. Without a consistent role with the team, the winger is unlikely to offer much in terms of fantasy value.

Jets' Matt Hendricks: Returns to Winnipeg
Hendricks was traded from Minnesota to Winnipeg for a seventh-round pick Monday, Pierre LeBrun of TSN reports.
Hendricks missed nine of Minnesota's last 10 games before being traded to his former team in the latter stages of deadline Monday. The 37-year-old has played in just 22 games this season, picking up a pair of helpers along the way. Don't expect the veteran to log much time with his new team, but nonetheless, it's a nice reunion for hockey fans to smile about after Hendricks put up 13 points a season ago as a member of the Jets.

Wild's Matt Hendricks: Healthy scratch Thursday
Hendricks will sit as a healthy scratch Thursday against the Rangers, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
It looked like Hendricks was set to make his return following a three-game absence due to an upper-body injury, but the recently recalled J.T. Brown was able to make it to the rink in time for puck drop and will take the veteran forward's spot in the lineup.

Wild's Matt Hendricks: Unavailable Friday
Hendricks is dealing with an upper-body injury that will keep him out of the lineup versus the Devils on Friday, Sarah McLellan of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Hendricks has frequently served as a healthy scratch this season, which has limited him to just 22 appearances. Without a consistent spot in the lineup, combined with the fact he is averaging just 8:59 of ice time when he does play, the winger won't offer much in terms of fantasy value even once given the all-clear.

Wild's Matt Hendricks: Enters lineup Tuesday
Hendricks will suit up in Tuesday's home game against the Flyers, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Wild's Matt Hendricks: Ugly start to 2019
Hendricks has tallied just one assist over six of 14 possible games for the Wild since the new year.
Although Hendricks dealt with an "undisclosed" injury earlier in the campaign, he's been healthy and hasn't been able to emerge from the press box as much as he'd hoped since the new year. The 37-year-old is averaging just 8:28 of ice time per game in the six games he's suited up in since Jan. 3, showing he has no real fantasy value for the remainder of the season.

Wild's Matt Hendricks: Playing time remains scarce
Hendricks isn't a lock to emerge from the press box even with Eric Fehr's (undisclosed) status up in the air, Sarah McLellan of the Star Tribune reports.
McLellan relayed from coach Bruce Boudreau that the Wild could recall a different forward from AHL Iowa ahead of Tuesday's road game against the Bruins. Hendricks is not a viable fantasy option having only played in 15 of a possible 41 games this season.

Wild's Matt Hendricks: Healthy but scratched
Hendricks (undisclosed) has shaken his injury but will be scratched for Sunday's game versus the Blues, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Wild's Matt Hendricks: Unavailable against LA
Hendricks (undisclosed) won't play Thursday against the Kings, Sarah McLellan of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Hendricks wasn't able to practice Wednesday or Thursday, so this news doesn't come as much of a surprise. At this point, the veteran pivot should be considered questionable at best for Friday's game against the Ducks.

Wild's Matt Hendricks: Status hazy against LA
Hendricks (undisclosed) took a maintenance day Wednesday and is considered questionable for Thursday's game against the Kings, Sarah McLellan of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Hendricks is reportedly just dealing with "bumps and bruises," so although his issue doesn't appear to be overly serious, it may force him to miss Thursday's contest. If he's unable to go, the Wild will likely recall a forward from their minor-league affiliate to take Hendricks' spot in the lineup.

Wild's Matt Hendricks: Will play Tuesday
Hendricks (lower body) is in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Sharks, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Wild's Matt Hendricks: Likely returning Thursday
Hendricks (lower body) will probably return Thursday against the Kings, according to head coach Bruce Boudreau.
This effectively rules out Hendricks for Tuesday's game against the Sharks, but at least it gives us some sense of when to expect him to return. Of course, the 37-year-old had 13 points all of last season, and three shots in five games this year, so his return won't move the fantasy needle.
