Skille (groin) could join the team for a road trip to Edmonton ahead of Saturday's contest.

EDGE Analysis

The former Wisconsin Badger will miss his 11th consecutive game Thursday night -- when the Canucks host the Stars -- but his traveling with the team could signal that a return is near. Either way, he's not an attractive fantasy option as the owner of just seven points and a minus-3 rating over 52 games.

Skille (groin) has an 'injured reserve' label on the NHL's official media site.

EDGE Analysis

While it's unfortunate to see any player get injured, the silver lining is that this news isn't likely to affect very many fantasy owners. After all, Skille has averaged a paltry 8:41 of ice time over 52 games this season.

Skille (groin) will not play in Sunday's game against the Flyers, Ben Kuzma of the Vancouver Province reports.

EDGE Analysis

Skille exited Saturday's game early due to the groin issue, but his absence from Sunday's contest shouldn't have a large overall impact from a fantasy perspective. Reid Boucher will slot back into the lineup Sunday in his place, but he's tallied just three points over 18 games with three different clubs this season and is averaging just 8:10 of ice time since joining the Canucks. Skille gets the bye week to rest up, with his next chance to return arriving Saturday against the Sharks.

Skille suffered a strained groin in Saturday's game against the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Skille hasn't done much when healthy, so this won't impact fantasy owners much if the veteran is forced to miss time. Jayson Megna might see more ice time if Skille is forced to the shelf with his injury.

Skille hasn't appeared on the scoresheet in over a month.

EDGE Analysis

The 29-year-old is struggling to make an offensive impact in limited minutes, managing just seven points in 45 games. He's scored four times. but his last goal came at the end of December, so he really doesn't hold much fantasy value. Skille is skating on Vancouver's fourth line and has never surpassed 17 points in his career, so he isn't worth holding onto in fantasy.

Skille scored his first two goals of the season in Thursday's 5-1 win over Tampa Bay.

EDGE Analysis

He managed all of one point in his first 19 games, so if you weren't looking to Skille for fantasy production Thursday, that makes you just like everyone else. With a career high of 19 points on his resume and a fourth-line assignment, Skille can't be counted on to replicate this performance.

Skille (upper body) will return to the lineup for Friday night's road contest in Dallas, Jon Abbott of TSN 1040 reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Sven Baertschi effectively ruled out for Friday's game, the Canucks had to be hoping that Skille would be ready and it appears as though he will be. The 29-year-old Wisconsinite averages only 9:59 of ice time per game, but may need to step up in the wake of the aforementioned injury to Baertschi.

Skille (upper body) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's road matchup with the Coyotes.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear when Skille sustained the ailment as he had seen ice time in the Canucks' last seven games but either way, the 29-year-old will miss his seventh contest of the season. In his place, Joseph LaBate, who was called up on Monday, is expected to make his NHL debut in place of the right winger.

Skille is in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

This will be only Skille's third appearance of the year and he'll likely patrol the Canucks' fourth line. He doesn't have any meaningful stats besides three shots on goal this season, she don't look at him to produce much more on Sunday.

Skille signed a one-year, one-way contract with the Canucks on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

The deal is worth $700,000. Skille will likely start off on Vancouver's fourth line and could generate similar numbers to his 2015-16 totals which were by no means spectacular. Don't count on him to produce until he starts seeing significant ice time.
