Coburn (lower body) blocked two shots and skated 13:33 in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

Coburn missed 13 games with the injury. The 34-year-old defenseman has just a single goal, 24 hits and 12 blocked shots through 18 appearances this season -- fantasy owners can find stronger depth options.

Coburn (lower body) will return to the lineup for Sunday's game against Detroit, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coburn last played on Nov. 29 and has only appeared in 17 games this season. The 34-year-old blueliner has just one goal in those 17 games. He'll return to a bottom-pair role alongside Kevin Shattenkirk.

Coburn (lower body) is nearing a return to the lineup.

EDGE Analysis

Coburn skated with the team during Saturday's morning practice, but he's not quite ready to get back into the lineup. It's solid progress, however, so it wouldn't be surprising if Coburn was ready to go for Tuesday's game against the Sabres. Coburn's more of a real-life asset than he is fantasy-wise, as the veteran has just one point through 17 games this year.

Coburn (lower body) was designated as week-to-week by coach Jon Cooper, Bryan Burns of the Lightning's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coburn was already placed on injured reserve to free up a roster spot, but the fact that he is considered week-to-week doesn't bode well for a short-term absence. Luke Schenn and Jan Rutta should both see time in the lineup with Coburn on the shelf.

Coburn was placed on injured reserve Monday, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

It doesn't appear Coburn will be ready soon, so his IR placement will free up a roster spot for depth at forward. The 34-year-old is eligible to return at any point, but his presence doesn't fantasy owners, as he's recorded just one point and 21 shots on net through 17 games.

Coburn will be out indefinitely with a lower-body injury, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coburn was hurt Friday night and will now miss an extended period of time with a lower-body issue. For Saturday's contest, the Lightning will deploy 11 forwards and seven defensemen.

Coburn (lower body) won't return to Friday's matchup with Washington.

EDGE Analysis

With Coburn set to miss some time, the Lightning will likely have to turn to their AHL affiliate for help on the back end ahead of Saturday's clash with Carolina. Another update on the 34-year-old blueliner should be released once an expected timetable for his recovery has been established.

Coburn has just a single assist in 15 games this season.

EDGE Analysis

His ice time has hovered around 12 minutes the last three games and his game is clearly slowing down. Coburn is a six-seven defender who will slot in and out of the lineup as his career winds to a close. There's little value in that.

Coburn is toiling on the Lightning's third pairing alongside Mikhail Sergachev.

EDGE Analysis

His ice time has ranged from 13:24 to 16:04 in three games. Coburn's role will be to act as a ballast for the young Russian's more adventurous game. His 23 points last season were his best since 2008-09, so he's no fantasy force.

Coburn re-signed with the Lightning on a two-year, $3.4 million contract Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Coburn was a regular in Tampa Bay's lineup this season, notching four goals and 23 points while posting a plus-4 rating in 74 games. The 34-year-old should continue to be a solid bottom-pairing option over the next two campaigns, but his lack of offensive upside and limited role will keep him off the radar in most fantasy formats.
