Wild's John Klingberg: Grabs first assists with new team
Rotowire
Klingberg logged two assists, including one on the power play, and two PIM in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Sharks.
Klingberg had come up empty in his first three games with the Wild, but he snapped the slump Saturday. He set up a Marcus Johansson goal 30 seconds into the third period and then helped out on a Mats Zuccarello insurance tally on the power play a little over halfway through the frame. Klingberg is up to 26 points, a minus-24 rating, 83 shots on net, 68 blocked shots, 52 hits and 32 PIM through 54 contests between the Wild and the Ducks this season. His presence in a stronger offense and on the top power-play unit for Minnesota still gives him some intrigue in fantasy, but he needs to show a bit more consistency.

Ducks' John Klingberg: Late scratch Tuesday
Rotowire
Klingberg (lower body) is a late scratch for Tuesday's game versus the Lightning, Alyson Lozoff of Bally Sports West reports.
Klingberg was initially slated to play on the second pairing, but Nathan Beaulieu will draw into the lineup instead. Despite posting 22 points and a minus-29 rating through 48 appearances, Klingberg is still a top trade target, so this injury comes at a potentially inconvenient time for both him and the Ducks. He is considered day-to-day ahead of Thursday's game versus the Capitals.

Ducks' John Klingberg: Tallies late in loss
Rotowire
Klingberg scored a goal and added two PIM in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Penguins.
Klingberg scored with 4:02 left in the third period, but the Ducks' comeback effort stopped there.

The 30-year-old has seven goals, 20 points, 68 shots on net, 58 blocked shots, 48 hits, 26 PIM and a minus-26 rating through 45 outings. He may avoid a career-worst year, but the fact that he's shooting 10.3 percent -- the second-best mark of his career -- is another warning side to what overall has been a disappointing season.

Ducks' John Klingberg: Scores sixth goal of 2022-23
Rotowire
Klingberg netted a power-play goal in a 4-3 overtime loss to Pittsburgh on Monday.
Klingberg was in the midst of a cold spell entering Monday's contest, with him providing just a goal and an assist in 11 games from Dec. 20-Jan. 13.
