Addison hasn't been used yet in the 2023 playoffs.
Addison had three goals and 29 points in 62 regular-season contests. He averaged just 16:07 of ice time, but that included 3:29 with the man advantage, which led to him accumulating 18 power-play assists. However, since the Wild acquired John Klingberg on March 3, Addison has drawn into the lineup just five times. At this point, the 23-year-old might not play at all in the postseason unless the Wild run into injury problems.
Addison recorded an assist in Monday's 2-1 shootout loss to the Panthers.
Addison helped out on a Kirill Kaprizov tally in the second period. Over his last 12 games, Addison's supplied six assists, but he also has a minus-10 rating in that span. The 22-year-old defenseman has 27 points through 52 contests overall, but his minus-18 rating has kept him confined to a third-pairing role with time on top power-play unit, where he's earned 18 of his 24 assists. The offense is good enough to roster in fantasy, but with the Wild in a tight playoff race, he could find himself scratched should the team upgrade its blue line before the trade deadline.

Wild's Calen Addison: Grabs helper in loss
Rotowire
Addison notched an assist, three shots on goal, two hits, two blocked shots and two PIM in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Coyotes.
Addison has continued to contribute solid offense with four assists over his last eight games. He's also gone minus-7 in that span, indicating he still has work to do in the defensive zone. He was scratched Dec. 9 due to defensive trouble, so his spot in the lineup can't be considered totally safe yet. The 22-year-old has three goals, 22 assists, 60 shots on goal, 30 blocked shots, 20 PIM and a minus-15 rating through 48 appearances.

Wild's Calen Addison: Supplies power-play assist
Rotowire
Addison managed a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Coyotes.
Four of Addison's six points in January have come with the man advantage. He had just five points in December, so he's made some progress on offense, though the 22-year-old blueliner remains a bit inconsistent. Through 41 contests overall, he's earned 22 points, including 16 power-play assists, to go with 52 shots on net, 24 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating.

Wild's Calen Addison: Pockets power-play assist
Rotowire
Addison registered a power-play assist and three shots on goal in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Ducks.
Addison helped out on Joel Eriksson Ek's tally in the third period. The 22-year-old Addison has two goals and six power-play helpers over his last 13 contests, though he's been limited to third-pairing minutes at even strength. The young defenseman has 16 points (12 on the power play), 38 shots on net, 18 blocked shots, 14 PIM and a minus-8 rating through 31 contests -- he's got some room to grow defensively, but his offense is enough to earn attention in fantasy.

Wild's Calen Addison: Responds well to scratch
Rotowire
Addison logged a power-play assist in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Canucks.
Addison was scratched Friday, with head coach Dean Evason calling out the 22-year-old for his defensive work. Addison ultimately wasn't asked to do much with 14:07 of ice time Saturday, but he was able to make a positive impact on offense while helping Filip Gustavsson to earn his first shutout. As long as he stays out of the press box, Addison has appeal as a depth defenseman in fantasy. He's earned two goals, 13 assists (11 on the power play), 31 shots on net, 16 blocked shots, 12 PIM and a minus-10 rating through 26 appearances.

Wild's Calen Addison: Odd man out Friday
Rotowire
Addison will be a healthy scratch Friday against the Oilers, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.
Coach Dean Evason believes scratching Addison should serve as a wake-up call for the young blueliner -- he also told reporters Addison "needs to defend better." Addison's gotten off to a nice start, at least offensively, with two goals and 14 points through 25 games this season, so don't expect him to be out of the lineup for long.

Addison has gotten off to a great start this season, having racked up six helpers, four with the man advantage, through the first four games of the campaign. The 22-year-old rookie should continue to quarterback Minnesota's No. 1 power-play unit, making him an appealing option in all fantasy formats.

Wild's Calen Addison: Distributes trio of assists
Rotowire
Addison notched three assists, including two on the power play, fired five shots on goal and went minus-2 in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Avalanche.
Addison was involved in each of the Wild's goals, earning primary assists on each tally. Through three contests, the 22-year-old blueliner has four helpers, including three on the power play. He's added five shots and a blocked shot, but his minus-5 rating is a sign of the Wild's problems on defense as a team. Nonetheless, Addison's productivity with the power play is an encouraging sign for the defenseman as he looks to stick in the NHL all year.

Wild's Calen Addison: Making opening roster
Rotowire
Addison made the Wild's opening roster, Sarah McLellan of the StarTribune reports.
Addison had two goals and four points in 15 games with Minnesota in 2021-22, but spent most of the season in the AHL, where he scored seven goals and 34 points in 43 contests. The 22-year-old defenseman is skilled with the puck and projected to get power-play ice time in the Wild's opening game against the Rangers on Thursday. We'll have to see how things change once Jon Merrill is healthy, but there's an opportunity here for Addison to stick with the Wild if he comes out of the gate strong.
