Wild's Ryan Hartman: Supplies two assists in win
Rotowire
Hartman logged two assists, three shots on goal and four PIM in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Sharks.
The absence of Kirill Kaprizov (lower body) takes a little of the shine off of Hartman's status as the Wild's first-line center. That didn't end up mattering Saturday, as Hartman helped out on goals by Jared Spurgeon and Mats Zuccarello, the latter's tally coming on the power play. Hartman is up to 26 points through 44 contests this season, though he's logged only two of his 16 helpers on the power play. He's added 111 shots on net, 43 hits, 78 PIM and a plus-5 rating.

Rotowire

Hartman reached the 10-assist mark with a secondary helper on Jonas Brodin's third-period tally. It's been 10 games since Hartman last scored a goal, and with just three helpers and a minus-7 rating in that span, fantasy managers can likely find better options on the waiver wire. He's at 15 points, 66 shots on net, 29 hits, 49 PIM and a minus-2 rating through 27 contests overall.

Rotowire
Hartman will return to the lineup Saturday against Buffalo after sitting as a healthy scratch Thursday versus the Flyers, Sarah McLellan of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
After racking up 34 goals and 65 points through 82 games last season, Hartman has struggled with penalties and injuries this year -- he's been limited to 14 points while piling up 47 PIM through 25 contests this campaign. We'll see if Thursday's scratch will light a fire under Hartman, who will likely slot into a bottom-six role versus the Sabres.

Wild's Ryan Hartman: Won't play Thursday
Rotowire
Hartman will be benched for Thursday's matchup with the Flyers. Coach Dean Evason told reporters, "Ryan Hartman will not play tonight. He took another ill-advised penalty last game. He will sit tonight," Kevin Falness of the Wild's official site reports.
Hartman has racked up 21 PIM in his last three games, so his benching certainly shouldn't come as a surprise. The 28-year-old winger is mired in an eight-game goal drought during which he recorded two assists, 23 shots and seven hits. Without Hartman in the lineup, Jordan Greenway or Marcu Foligno could be elevated to a second-line role.

Wild's Ryan Hartman: Deposits empty-netter
Rotowire
Hartman scored an empty-net goal on two shots, went plus-2 and blocked two shots in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Wild.

He's at two goals, four helpers, 26 shots on net, 14 hits, 18 PIM and a plus-2 rating in 11 contests overall, but the reduced role hurts his fantasy stock.
