Bartkowski has only dressed for one of the past 18 games after watching Sunday's 3-2 win over the Islanders from the press box.
EDGE Analysis
Bartkowski has only suited up for 14 games all season, so he's off the fantasy radar in all settings. Additionally, even if he were to draw into the lineup consistently, he hasn't proven to be a serviceable asset in the past when given a legitimate opportunity.

Bartkowski has been a healthy scratch for 18 of the past 19 games after watching Sunday's 6-1 win from the press box.
EDGE Analysis
The Flames continue to slot Brett Kulak in as their sixth defenseman, and at this stage of the game, it appears that Bartkowski will likely need an injury to return to the lineup. He's obviously off the fantasy radar for the time being, but it's worth reminding that the 29-year-old blueliner probably won't make much of a splash when he does see game action again.

Bartkowski has only dressed for three of the past 11 games.
EDGE Analysis
With Brett Kulak becoming a fixture on the blue line, Bartkowski has been pushed out of the lineup whenever Calgary has had a healthy defense corps dating back to late October. Bartkowski was never a viable fantasy option in most settings anyway, but the lack of playing time has him completely off the grid for the time being.

Bartkowski will be a healthy scratch for Saturday's home game against the Wild, Derek Wills of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bart's struggled to get going on either side of the rink, as evidenced by his box-score goose eggs and minus-2 rating over seven contests. You can ignore him in just about any setting other than leagues that put a premium on hits, which is where his bread and butter lies.

Bartkowski received just 11:30 if ice time during Thursday's 2-1 loss to Carolina.
EDGE Analysis
The depth defenseman has averaged only 12:05 of ice time for the season, and he's now posted a minus-1 rating in each of the past three games. Bartkowski has failed to register a point through seven outings, and his five shots, 11 hits and six blocked shots aren't moving the fantasy needle, either.

Bartkowski scored his first goal of the season in Saturday's overtime win over the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
The third-pairing defender isn't known for his offense -- Bartkowski has just two points this season in 17 games and 44 in 228 games over the last seven seasons.

Bartkowski agreed to terms on a two-year, two way deal with the Flames on Thursday, Kristen Odland of Postmedia reports.
EDGE Analysis
Just a day after signing a professional tryout agreement, Bartkowski penned a deal with Calgary. With the expansion draft coming this summer, some teams are in a crunch to find players that meet the requirements for being eligible for selection. The 28-year-old will fill that gap for the Flames and could get the chance to showcase his abilities and earn a spot with the Golden Knights. In the meantime, the signing puts Calgary over the 23-man roster limit, so they will need to send somebody down to the minors, with Brett Kulak the leading candidate.

Bartkowski signed a professional tryout contract with the Flames on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
A smooth-skating blueliner, Bart had been playing for AHL Providence within the Bruins organization. Over 34 games, he produced a pair of goals with eight helpers and 27 PIM. There's no guarantee that he'll latch on with the club beyond the tryout, so his fantasy prospects remain severely limited.

Bartkowski was released from his professional tryout with the Senators on Wednesday, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
With 2015 first-round pick Thomas Chabot taking the next step, Bartkowski was the odd man out. The 28-year-old didn't establish himself during the preseason (or training camp), recording just one assist and struggling to fit in on the ice.

Bartkowski inked a professional tryout agreement with the Senators on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Given the lack of depth on the blue line in Ottawa, Bartkowski has a very good shot of making the final 23-man squad. The defenseman shouldn't be expected to garner a lot of points, considering he tied his career high with six goals and 12 helpers last season. While his fantasy value may be relatively low, the 28-year-old would be a solid depth addition to the organization if he secures a permanent deal.
