Hartman had four shots and two hits over a season-high 18:51 time on ice in Thursday's 3-0 win over the Canadiens.
Hartman and several other skaters saw their TOI spike, as top-six forwards and power-play staples Joel Eriksson Ek and Mats Zuccarello left the game with lower-body injuries after four shifts. Their absence on special teams also led a season-high 3:52 PPTOI for Hartman. Pending the status of the injured forwards, Hartman could see an uptick in ice time and perhaps a role in the top six Saturday against the Stars. He has three goals, one assist, 28 shots, 13 hits, two blocks, four PIM and is minus-3 through 11 outings.

Wild's Ryan Hartman: Scores in overtime win
Rotowire
Hartman scored a goal on three shots, added two PIM and logged three hits in Sunday's 2-1 overtime win over the Maple Leafs.
This was Hartman's second game back from an upper-body injury. The 30-year-old forward returned Friday on the fourth line, but he's already up to the third line over the struggling Yakov Trenin. Hartman has three goals, 16 shots on net, nine hits and a minus-3 rating across six appearances this season. He offers upside for PIM and shots even if he stays in the bottom six, but he's also a candidate to move into the top six if the Wild's hot start fades at some point.

Wild's Ryan Hartman: Set to miss out Thursday
Rotowire
Hartman (upper body) is expected to remain on the shelf versus the Lightning on Thursday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
Hartman will be out of action for a third consecutive game due to his lingering upper-body injury. Still, the fact that the 30-year-old winger is traveling with the team should bode well for a short-term absence. For now, Marco Rossi and Joel Eriksson Ek figure to fill the top-six center roles for the Wild.

Wild's Ryan Hartman: Questionable against Jackets
Rotowire
Hartman is in doubt to face the Blue Jackets on Saturday due to an upper-body injury, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
Hartman is expected to travel with the team but may be a game-time decision in the lead-up to puck drop Saturday. With the veteran forward perhaps on the shelf, Marat Khusnutdinov could shift to the third-line center role.

Rotowire
Hartman scored a power-play goal on three shots while adding three hits and a blocked shot in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Blues.
Hartman has scored two goals over his last three outings while racking up 10 shots in that span. He's seeing more time in the power play of late, and he should continue to see an expanded role as long as Joel Eriksson Ek (upper body) is out of the lineup. Hartman had 45 points, with 21 goals and 24 assists, in 74 regular-season games in 2023-24.

Wild's Ryan Hartman: Scores in shootout loss
Rotowire
Hartman scored a goal on six shots and added two hits in Saturday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Kraken.
Hartman has a goal, eight shots on net and three hits through the first two games of the season. He's mainly played in a middle-six role so far, but he's a candidate to see more ice time for as long as Joel Eriksson Ek (upper body) is out of the lineup. Hartman had 45 points in 74 regular-season games in 2023-24, and he adds a bit of grit for fantasy purposes, though he's better at racking up PIM than hits.
