Lightning's Luke Glendening: Big man on ice Saturday
Rotowire
Glendening scored the game-winning goal in a 6-4 win over Edmonton on Saturday.
Glendening, who had just one point in 17 games going into Saturday's contest, came up huge in the third when he re-directed a pass past Stuart Skinner at 10:07 of the frame. He has two goals, 15 blocked shots and 28 hits through 18 appearances this campaign. Glendening is typically a quiet bottom-six guy, but his lack of positional flexibility makes rostering him in fantasy leagues difficult. Enjoy his goal celly from Saturday, but that's about it.

The 34-year-old veteran has added 15 shots on net, 25 hits, 13 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating through 16 playoff appearances in a fourth-line role.

Stars' Luke Glendening: Grabs second postseason point
Rotowire
Glendening assisted on Miro Heiskanen's game-opening goal, but the Stars ultimately fell to the Golden Knights 3-2 in overtime in Game 2 on Sunday.
Glendening hasn't been one of the postseason's more effective depth forwards. He has played more than 12 minutes in just five of 14 playoff games, and Sunday's assist was only his second point of the postseason. Moreover, he has just 10 total shots, so Glendening's fantasy value has been minimal.

Stars' Luke Glendening: Placed on injured reserve
Rotowire
Glendening (lower body) was designated for injured reserve Wednesday.
Glendening has already missed the last four games due to his lower-body issue, but his retroactive placement on IR could still be activated at any time. Still, the 33-year-old center probably shouldn't be expected to play either Wednesday or Thursday against Arizona or Chicago, respectively.

Stars' Luke Glendening: Still searching for offense
Rotowire
Glendening has gone 34 games without a point.
That's a lengthy drought, even for a player who is firmly in a fourth-line role. Glendening hasn't gotten on the scoresheet since he had two assists versus the Panthers on Nov. 17. During his drought, the forward has 40 PIM, 57 hits and 35 blocked shots -- his grit and defensive play will keep him in the lineup, but fantasy managers can safely ignore a player with four points through 51 outings overall.

Stars' Luke Glendening: Offense has gone cold
Rotowire

Glendening picked up 33 PIM, 21 hits, 16 blocked shots, 16 shots on goal and a minus-10 rating in that span. The 33-year-old has played almost exclusively on the fourth line this year, so a lack of offense isn't surprising. He has four points through 34 contests overall in a primarily defensive role.

Stars' Luke Glendening: Game-time decision Sunday
Rotowire
Glendening is dealing with a lower-body injury and is a game-time decision Sunday for Game 7 against Calgary, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
Glendening departed Game 6 on Friday after skating just 4:20. Even if he's able to return to the lineup, the 33-year-old isn't likely to make much of a fantasy impact considering he's mustered just two points in his last 19 games.
