Stewart dished out a pair of helpers in Thursday's 5-1 win over Ottawa.
EDGE Analysis
Both of Stewart's assists came on goals by Nino Niederreiter, who snapped a 16-game drought in this one. Stewart came in with just two points in his previous 14 games, but his Tuesday fight against Tom Wilson seems to have lit a fire under the skilled fourth-liner.

Stewart logged just 6:58 of ice time during Thursday's loss to Philadelphia.
EDGE Analysis
At this stage of his career, Stewart's fantasy value is tied to his contributions in the PIM column. He received a fighting major in each of his previous two outings, and with 89 PIM for the year, the veteran is doing his part there. However, in most seasonal leagues, it's difficult to roster him because of his lack of offensive production (13 goals and 19 points). Still, if you need a boost in PIM down the stretch drive, Stewart is a potential grab.

Stewart potted his eighth goal of the season in Saturday's 5-4 win against the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Stewart bagged five goals in December, but he was scoreless in five games in January until Saturday's tally. He is a cheap source of penalty minutes for fantasy owners in deeper leagues, but don't expect much in the way of offensive production.

Stewart scored a first-period goal during Friday's loss to Calgary to snap a 15-game goalless drought.
EDGE Analysis
With just three goals and six points through 23 games, there isn't a lot to like about Stewart's fantasy upside. He entered Friday's game averaging just 10:52 of ice time per night and played only 7:29 against the Flames. Stewart is a desperation fantasy asset at this stage.

Stewart has no points and no shots on goal in his last four games and could be headed to the bench, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. "Not enough. We need something out of him," head coach Bruce Boudreau said.
EDGE Analysis
Stewart could be a healthy scratch when Zach Parise returns from a foot injury as early as next week.

Stewart (illness) will be in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
Stewart missed Monday's practice because of the illness, but indicated he's feeling healthy enough to give it a go Tuesday evening. He should slot into the third line alongside Nino Niederreiter and Tyler Graovac, looking to add to his five points through nine games this season in limited ice time.

Stewart missed practice Monday due to illness.
EDGE Analysis
Coach Bruce Boudreau did not expend on whether or not Stewart would be available Tuesday against Buffalo. The 29-year-old has had a strong start to the season as he's logged five points through nine games, including one on the man advantage. If the winger is unable to go, Jason Pominville would be the most likely replacement on the right of Minnesota's third line.

Stewart scored a goal against the Bruins on Tuesday to end a three-game scoreless stretch.
EDGE Analysis
Stewart projects to continue playing a supporting role for the Wild and is unlikely to be a reliable fantasy contributor in most formats. Still, he already has two goals, two assists and 19 PIM, so there might be some deep leagues where he moves the fantasy needle.

Stewart scored a goal and added an assist in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Stewart has never lived up to the promise he showed in a 64-point sophomore season (2009-10). But Minny is opening things up offensively and Stewart does have decent hands. He may be a decent sleeper coming off the wire if he can continue to contribute like this.

Stewart signed a two-year, $2.3 million contract with the Wild on Friday, TSN's Bob McKenzie reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stewart is a journeyman who last played for the Ducks. In the 2015-16 season, he provided Anaheim with 20 points (eight goals, 12 assists) in 56 games. The trouble with Stewart is that he's often injured, but this is a relatively low-risk signing for the Wild -- Minnesota needs more stability in the bottom-six.
