Cogliano (upper body) has returned to Dallas and is targeting Tuesday against the Rangers as a potential return date, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.,

EDGE Analysis

Cogliano was limited to just 3:17 of ice time Tuesday before his exit for an issue that will keep him out for at least two contests. Considering the veteran winger has tallied just three points over 17 games since joining the Stars, his absence shouldn't ruin many fantasy seasons, but it will open the door for Joel L'Esperance to rejoin the lineup Thursday.

Cogliano (upper body) will not play Thursday against the Kings, Matthew DeFranks of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thursday will mark the first game of Cogliano's 12-year career that the veteran will miss due to injury. The Ontario native sustained the injury in Tuesday's game against the Golden Knights -- Cogliano got hit by Ryan Reaves and went straight to the locker room. The winger was taking over duties in the second line with Jamie Benn (upper body) out, but Benn's status has yet to be determined.

Cogliano suffered an upper-body injury and won't return to Tuesday's game versus the Golden Knights, Mark Stepneski of the Stars' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cogliano got crushed by Ryan Reaves in the first period and went straight to the locker room. He has just three points in 17 games with the Stars, but he was given second-line duties in this contest with Jamie Benn (upper body) also out. The Stars now have just 11 healthy forwards, so they may need to dip into AHL Texas for reinforcements.

Cogliano was acquired by the Stars from the Ducks in exchange for Devin Shore on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Cogliano has just 11 points in 46 games this season, which could see him miss the 30-point mark for the first time since the 2014-15 campaign -- though the winger is currently riding a three-game point streak. The Toronto native could slot into a top-six role in Dallas, but will likely have to start producing if he is going to hold onto that assignment.

Cogliano tallied one assist in Wednesday's 3-2 win over Calgary.

EDGE Analysis

The assist marks the forward's first point in the last ten games. Cogliano's recent lack of success has lead head coach Randy Carlyle to demote the 31-year-old to the second line. Though the Toronto native has had a relatively disappointing start to the season, his 16:15 of ice time Wednesday was the second most the forward has recorded this season, which could be a sign of more minutes to come. Cogliano and the Ducks will look to make it two straight wins against the Wild on Friday.

Cogliano potted a game-winning, power-play goal in Sunday's 3-2 victory over the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

With time winding down in the third period, Cogliano snuck one past Chad Johnson for his first goal of the season. The veteran winger is searching for his first 20-goal campaign since 2013-14 and he has a shot to do so by playing on the top line centered by Ryan Kesler.

Cogliano garnered an assist in Monday's shootout victory over the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

It was Cogliano's first point of the 2018-19 campaign, having been absent from the scoresheet in the first two. Through the opening three outings, the winger has managed a mere four shots on goal, a far cry from the 2.19 shots per game he registered last season.

Cogliano scored his team's only goal Wednesday, as San Jose completed a sweep with a 2-1 win in Game 4 of the Western Conference quarterfinals.

EDGE Analysis

Cogliano came into the playoffs hot after scoring in three of the Ducks' final four games of the season, but he couldn't sustain his play, waiting until the final period of the year to record a point in the playoffs. Unfortunately for his owners, that's a lot closer to his standard level rather than the way he finished the regular season. He's not going to be taken highly in next year's draft, and given his average of less than a point every two games, that shouldn't be a big surprise.

Cogliano scored a goal and and assist together for the second time in three games to help earn a 5-3 win over Dallas.

EDGE Analysis

Cogliano has 12 goals all season. Four have come in his past five games, an incredibly surprising hot streak. He's salvaged his season, and now he looks like a great value play in the final game of the year as he tries for his best scoring mark in the past four years.

Cogliano scored a goal on four shots and had an assist in a 4-3 overtime win against the Avalanche on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran has been playing some good hockey recently, as he has three goals and three assists in his last eight games. However, the 30-year-old only has 10 goals and 32 points on the season. That's about par for the course for the veteran forward. In 12 NHL seasons he's only crossed the 40-point threshold twice.
