Tim Gleason has dropped the gloves in each of his past two games.

He took on Buffalo's Steve Ott last Friday after Ott took a run at sophomore defesenman Justin Faulk and he battled Boston's Milan Lucic on Monday to try to wake his team up from a slow start. In both instances, Gleason displayed leadership and character that didn't go unnoticed by his teammates. The physical blueliner has nine hits and 24 penalty minutes in five games this season.

Tim Gleason was rough with his teammates during Tuesday's scrimmage.

He nailed Jeff Skinner along the boards into the match and he gave Jussi Jokinen a hard time twice during puck battles. "Jussi was a little mad at me at the end, but that's the only way I can get into it," Gleason said. "If I'm floating around, I'm not effective. It was good to get some physical (play) in there. They're going to get it in games, and so am I. I think it was a step in the right direction, to get into a game situation as quick as we can." Gleason could be a solid addition to your fantasy roster, as he can contribute in several categories. He registered 18 points, 71 penalty minutes, 129 hits, 112 blocked shots and a plus-12 rating last season.
