According to the league, Minnesota Wild right wing Ryan Hartman has been suspended for 10 games due to roughing Ottawa Senators center Tim Stuzzle on Saturday evening. Hartman has received several suspensions throughout his career. This is his fifth career suspension. As a result, fantasy managers should not expect Hartman back in the lineup until their clash with the Pittsburgh Penguins on March 9. However, the veteran forward does have a 48-hour window if he chooses to appeal the suspension. While sidelined, fantasy managers should expect Ben Jones to draw into the bottom six. Over his previous 10 games, Hartman has tallied five points (two goals, three helpers) with eight hits, five blocks, and 30 penalty minutes. Through 48 total games, he has tallied 17 points with 60 penalty minutes, 53 hits, and 30 blocks.

Minnesota Wild forward Ryan Hartman (upper body) will return from a five-game absence on Friday versus Tampa Bay. Hartman was sidelined early in the campaign by an upper-body injury after he scored two goals in four games. He re-enters the lineup on the fourth line, as the team doesn't want to break up its current third line, which has been performing well. Hartman's presence adds fantasy value to Marat Khusnutdinov and Jakub Lauko, although there's going to be only limited action available for the fourth line.

Minnesota Wild forward Ryan Hartman (upper body, illness) will be absent for at least two more games. Hartman has returned home ahead of the team's final two stops on its seven-game road trip. The team faces Philadelphia on Saturday before traveling to Pittsburgh to kick off the new week. Hartman has already been out for three games with an upper-body injury, and he's also been under the weather lately. During Hartman's absence, Marcus Foligno has hopped on the second power-play unit but hasn't been effective in the role. Marat Khusnutdinov looks set to continue as the Wild's third-line center.
