Luke Schenn Fantasy Stats

Winnipeg Jets defenseman Luke Schenn (undisclosed) is considered a game-time decision for Tuesday's matchup against the Los Angeles Kings. Two top dogs of the Western Conference are set to meet in L.A., but Schenn might have to sit out the action after leaving Tuesday's morning skate early for an undisclosed reason. If he is unavailable, Ville Heinola and Haydn Fleury are the options to replace Schenn in the lineup. Schenn ranks third in the league with 277 hits in 70 games. Offensively, he has notched one goal and five assists.

The Winnipeg Jets have acquired defenseman Luke Schenn from the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for a second- and a fourth-round selection. Schenn was traded to Pittsburgh earlier this week in a package that sent forward Michael Bunting to Nashville. Schenn will now move to the top team in the Central Division. Through 61 games in Nashville this season, Schenn has tallied just five points (four helpers) but holds value in formats that reward hits and blocked shots. The 35-year-old has logged an impressive 228 hits (3.7 hits) with 76 blocked shots. Schenn has added 41 penalty minutes with a -9 rating. Schenn has tallied career-high 22 points during three seasons of his 17-season NHL career. Fantasy managers should not expect Schenn to carry much offensive upside in Winnipeg but he should continue to produce a high amount of hits and blocked shots.

On Wednesday evening, the Pittsburgh Penguins traded left wing Michael Bunting and a 2026 fourth-round selection in exchange for Nashville Predators center Thomas Novak and defenseman Luke Schenn. Novak has been deployed as a middle-six center in Nashville. This season, he has tallied 22 points (13 goals, nine helpers) with five of the points coming on the power-play. However, during the 2022 and 2023 seasons, Novak tallied 43 and 45 points respectively. He will look to bounce-back in the Steel City. Schenn is a physical defenseman who carries little offensive upside. Through 61 games this season, Schenn has tallied just five points but has added an impressive 228 hits (3.7 per game) and 76 blocked shots (1.2 per game). Fantasy managers should expect Novak to play on the third forward line while Schenn will find a role on the bottom pairing.

Nashville Predators defenseman Luke Schenn is hopeful to play in Game 6 of the team's first-round series against the Vancouver Canucks after missing Game 5 with an illness. "Much better today," Schenn said on Thursday. "It seemed like it was more of a 24-hour thing, now just kind of recovering. It's actually a blessing in disguise having two days between games here." Schenn said his illness kicked in after waking up from his pregame nap on Tuesday. The veteran appeared in 63 regular-season games, notching a goal and seven points in that time while providing his usual physicality in the form of 202 hits and 43 penalty minutes. The Preds need a win on Friday to avoid elimination.

Nashville Predators defenseman Luke Schenn (lower body) could be back in action on Sunday versus Winnipeg. The 34-year-old has missed all but one game this season, but the team has activated him from Injured Reserve, and Schenn is considered a game-time decision for the clash. Schenn, who joined Nashville on a three-year deal in the offseason, is offensively very limited but should add some grit to the Predators backline. He posted 22 points (four goals, 18 assists) across 70 games split between Vancouver and Toronto last season while logging 258 hits and 81 blocks.

Nashville Predators defenseman Luke Schenn (lower body) has been ruled out for 4-6 weeks. The 33-year-old has already been absent for three games, and it's now clear that the Predators won't have his services for around a month. Schenn had four hits and one block in 15:11 of action in his team debut a week ago against Tampa Bay. Dante Fabbro has been covering for him on the third defensive pairing since Schenn got sidelined.

Defenseman Luke Schenn is once again a member of the Toronto Maple Leafs after the team traded for him on Tuesday in a deal with the Vancouver Canucks that saw Toronto give up a 2023 third-round draft pick. Schenn is a former first-round pick of the Maple Leafs and played his first four NHL seasons with the team. He's been a journeyman since leaving the team in 2012, but Schenn landed on the right team a couple of years back, becoming back-to-back Stanley Cup champions with the Tampa Bay Lightning. The 33-year-old moved to Vancouver in 2021, and he's been moving towards a career year in 2022-23, posting 21 points in 55 games with 58 shots, 258 hits and 81 blocks. Schenn will provide valuable veteran presence in the Maple Leafs locker room and should put in solid work on the third defensive pairing.

Vancouver Canucks defenseman Luke Schenn will sit out Tuesday's clash against Nashville for trade-related reasons. The 33-year-old has had a good season on a bad team and should draw plenty of interest ahead of next week's trade deadline. The Canucks are conceding over four goals per game (4.02), but Schenn has managed to register a solid plus-nine rating and is on his way to setting his new scoring record. With 55 games played, Schenn has contributed three goals and 18 assists with 68 shots on net, a league-high 258 hits and 81 blocks.
