Kevin Shattenkirk Fantasy Stats

Boston Bruins defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk will be a healthy scratch when the club takes on the visiting Vancouver Canucks on Thursday. The veteran blueliner has been in and out of the lineup of late in his first season with Boston. Shattenkirk has appeared in 42 games this season, tallying five goals and 13 points to go along with 61 shots on goal and 54 blocked shots. His ice time has dropped to just 15:56, well below his 20:23 career mark and his 19:18 mark from last season with the Anaheim Ducks. Shattenkirk has skated in 933 career NHL games, notching 102 goals, 473 points, and 1,869 shots on goal in that time. Parker Wotherspoon will take Shattenkirk's spot in the lineup for a Bruins team that leads the Atlantic Division with a 31-10-9 record on the season.

Boston Bruins defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk will be back in the lineup on Monday versus Columbus, replacing Ian Mitchell on the third defensive pairing. The veteran has been scratched for three of the last four games. As a bit-part player, Shattenkirk has totaled three points via assists in 15 games this season. He's averaged 0.51 points for his 14-year career but doesn't make much noise offensively anymore. However, the Blue Jackets are one of the whipping boys of the league, which could give lesser-used players like Shattenkirk a chance to be more productive than usual.

Anaheim Ducks defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk (lower body) will miss a second consecutive game Saturday versus the Coyotes. The 33-year-old sat out his sixth game of the season on Thursday against Colorado and will be unavailable again, with Nathan Beaulieu coming into the lineup. Shattenkirk has spent the whole season without scoring a goal in 43 games but does have 11 assists to his name. There are also 90 shots on goal, 53 hits and 63 blocks on his account. Beaulieu offers next to none to fantasy managers and should remain on the waiver wire.

Anaheim Ducks defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk is battling an illness and won't be able to play Friday against San Jose. The veteran will be replaced in the lineup by Colton White. Anaheim is going through another difficult season and it's had a very negative impact on Shattenkirk's numbers, with him having so far managed only nine points in 35 games without a single goal scored. He has also recorded 44 hits and 49 blocks. White has done even worse with only one point in 16 games, and fantasy managers can safely leave him on the waiver wire.

Anaheim Ducks defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk (lower body) will return to the lineup Monday versus Blues. He returns to action against his former team after missing four games with a lower-body problem. Shattenkirk isn't as productive anymore as he was during his St. Louis days, but he has done decently well on a badly struggling team this season, notching five assists in 14 games with 25 shots, 12 hits and 14 blocks. The 33-year-old is also the lone skater on the team with a positive plus/minus.

Anaheim Ducks defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk suffered a lower-body injury in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to Minnesota. The veteran blue-liner was able to skate for only 7:08 in the game. Fellow rearguard Nathan Beaulieu also exited with an undisclosed injury, so the Ducks were forced to end the game with four defensemen. Shattenkirk is definitely the more important of the two, as he typically plays in every situation and contributes well offensively. He's on five points through 14 games this season, but Shattenkirk was close to averaging 0.50 points per game last term. Beaulieu is a defensive-minded player and is tied for the second-most blocks on the team with 20. Injuries should help Colton White to re-enter the lineup, and he might actually play some reasonable minutes now after averaging only 9:11 of ice time in his first few outings.

Anaheim Ducks defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk found a way onto the scoresheet on Thursday night in Seattle. Shattenkirk scored a goal late in the second period to double the Ducks' lead to two goals at the time. It gave Shattenkirk four goals and 13 points in 15 games. While possession metrics have not been kind to the blueliner, his production has been. Shattenkirk had 15 points in 55 games last year. He is almost there already this year in less than a third of the time.

Anaheim Ducks defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk stretched his point streak to five games in Thursday's 5-1 loss to Winnipeg, recording a power-play assist on a Troy Terry marker. Cam Fowler also picked up a helper on the goal. Shattenkirk, who has started his second season in Anaheim, had knee surgery in the summer and the surgeon must've had magic fingers, because the veteran defenseman has come back very strong. The 32-year-old has been one of the most productive fantasy defensemen early in the campaign with three goals, six points, 10 shots, nine blocks and a pair of hits. He gets a chance to extend his point streak even further on Saturday against Minnesota.

Anaheim Ducks defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk posted an assist in Wednesday's big 5-1 loss to the Kings, making it six points in six games for himself this month. He and Nicolas Deslauriers helped Sam Steel to notch his third tally of the year. Shattenkirk has 11 points for the whole year in 27 games with a minus-two rating, 45 shots, 32 blocks, and 31 hits. His best days seem to be behind him, but the 32-year-old has been a solid fantasy asset in deeper formats, and he's in a superb spot to continue his hot start to the month, with the Kings facing San Jose to complete their week. The Sharks allow 3.78 goals a night and struggle to kill off penalties.
