Tierney signed a one-year, two-way deal with the Panthers on Saturday, Daily Faceoff reports. It carries a cap hit of $750,000.

EDGE Analysis

Now 28, the 55th overall pick from the 2012 draft will join his third NHL organization after an 18-point, 70-game showing with the Senators last season. Tierney once popped 17 goals with the Sharks in 2017-18 and followed that up with a 48-point effort the following season with Ottawa, but he's hardly a fantasy darling at this point. If the Ontario native can earn a regular role in the lineup in training camp, though, he could provide some DFS and deep-league value as part of a potent Panthers offense.

Tierney managed to pick up an assist in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

Tierney doesn't draw much fanfare in the fantasy realm due to his scant role with the Sens, but he's posted at least 20 points in six of his eight seasons, and he can make it a seventh with two more points in Ottawa's final three games. With six goals and 12 assists, he's nearly mirrored his output from 2020-21, albeit in 12 more games.

Tierney (upper body) was activated from injured reserve and will play Wednesday versus the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

Tierney missed the last eight games with the injury. He'll slot into a fourth-line role while Dylan Gambrell is expected to be a healthy scratch. Tierney has only 15 points and 59 shots on net through 51 contests, so he's not likely to make much of an impact in fantasy.

Tierney (upper body) may return to action Wednesday versus Columbus, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tierney's status against the Blue Jackets may boil down to a game-time decision. The 27-year-old forward has only tallied 15 points through 51 games this season, so most fantasy managers shouldn't need to keep tabs on his availability.

Tierney is dealing with an upper-body injury that will keep him out at least the next four games after traveling back to Ottawa, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.

EDGE Analysis

Initial reports indicated Tierney was under the weather but it appears that the Ontario native picked up a more serious injury. Given his recovery timeline, the 27-year-old center will likely find himself on injured reserve in order to create a spot on the roster for Josh Norris (shoulder) who will return to action versus Florida on Thursday.

Tierney will not participate in Tuesday's game against Tampa Bay due to illness, per NHL.com.

EDGE Analysis

Tierney will miss his first game of the season Tuesday. The 27-year-old has averaged 13:06 of ice time -- 1:12 during the power play -- and tallied one assist over the last five games.

Tierney recorded two assists in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

He helped set up Adam Gaudette for the eventual game-winner in the first period, and then Connor Brown for the game's final tally in the third. Tierney's fantasy upside remains limited in a bottom-six role, but he has managed one goal and four points through six games in February.

Tierney notched an assist in Monday's 4-1 win over the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

Tierney helped out on an Adam Gaudette goal in the second period. Offense has been limited for Tierney this season, as he's picked up just 11 points through 41 contests, compared to 19 points in 55 outings last season. The 27-year-old has four helpers in his last 11 games, but his bottom-six role and lack of physicality leaves him in a position with little fantasy appeal.

Tierney notched two assists in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

Tierney doubled his assist total for the season when he helped out on goals by Adam Gaudette and Alex Formenton early in the third period. The pair of helpers allowed Tierney to snap a 10-game point drought. The 27-year-old is at nine points, 34 shots on net and a minus-11 rating in 31 contests overall. He's picked up five of his points on the power play, but playing in a bottom-six role on a mediocre Senators team is likely enough to keep him off the fantasy radar.

Tierney (COVID-19 protocols) is set to return Thursday versus the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Tierney will play in a bottom-six role after spending the last 10 days in the virus protocols. The 27-year-old didn't miss any games due to the Senators' schedule being shuffled around during his absence. Tierney has managed only seven points in 29 contests this season, so he's not likely to be a factor in fantasy.
