Eakin has been released from his professional tryout by the Flames, according to Darren Haynes of The Athletic.

EDGE Analysis

Eakin had four goals and 12 points in 69 games last season for the Sabres and was trying to catch on in Calgary, but to no avail.

Eakin signed a professional tryout offer with the Flames on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Eakin spent the last two seasons in Buffalo, totaling 19 points while averaging 13:20 of ice time through 115 appearances. The 31-year-old forward will enter a competition for a bottom-six role in training camp.

Eakin's listed as a healthy scratch for Friday's game against the Blackhawks, so he's no longer battling an illness.

EDGE Analysis

Eakin's healthy, but he still won't be in the lineup for Friday's season finale. He finishes the campaign with four goals and eight assists in 69 games

Eakin (illness) won't play Thursday versus the Bruins, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Eakin hasn't been a regular lately even when healthy. The 30-year-old's status for Friday's season finale versus the Blackhawks has yet to be determined, but it wouldn't be a shock to see him end the year out of the lineup.

Eakin missed practice Monday due to illness, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.

EDGE Analysis

Considering Eakin has just one point in his last 20 outings, few fantasy players will be impacted by his potential absence. Considering the veteran center has recorded just nine shots over that stretch, he will be hard-pressed to break out of his current slump.

Eakin (undisclosed) is on the ice for warmups, and he's expected to play Thursday versus the Blues, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Eakin was deemed a game-time call entering Thursday's game. The veteran center will likely continue to play in a fourth-line role, so his playing status won't mean much to fantasy managers going forward.

Eakin (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision for Thursday's matchup with St. Louis, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.

EDGE Analysis

Eakin's only picked up 12 points through 68 appearances this year, so most fantasy managers shouldn't need to track his status ahead of puck drop. If Eakin's unable to play, John Hayden will likely remain in the lineup versus the Blues.

Eakin (undisclosed) will play Sunday against the Kings, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Eakin was originally deemed questionable due to an undisclosed injury, but he'll be able to power through in his usual bottom-six role. His availability likely won't move the needle much in fantasy circles considering Eakin has mustered only 11 points and an ugly minus-14 rating in 51 games this season.

Eakin was ruled questionable for Sunday's game versus Los Angeles due to an undisclosed injury, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.

EDGE Analysis

Eakin has averaged 13:23 of ice time and generated three points over the last 15 games. His most recent NHL point was a goal in a 4-2 loss to Dallas on Sunday. The severity of his undisclosed injury is currently unknown, per Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News.

Eakin logged a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Coyotes.

EDGE Analysis

Eakin snapped a 14-game point drought with his helper on Kyle Okposo's tally in the first period. Playing on the Sabres' fourth line has done no favors for Eakin's offense, as the veteran forward has just nine points in 38 appearances. That's more than the seven points he put up in 46 games last year, but it's far from the necessary level to help in most fantasy formats.
