David Booth did not participate in the Vancouver Canucks skills competition on Saturday. Booth has missed the last two games and was thought to be a healthy scratch but with his lack of participation in the skills event, you have to wonder if he is hurt. Jason Garrison won the fastest shot competition at 105.1 MPH while Dale Weise was once again the fastest skater.

David Booth registered an assist in Vancouver's 2-1 win on Sunday. Booth has struggled this season, but he now has two goals and four points in his last six games. Given that his tenure with Vancouver has been mostly a disappointment, we would caution against getting too excited over his recent hot streak.

David Booth will take a three-game point streak into Thursday night's meeting versus Dallas. He has recorded a goal in two straight matches and he added an assist the game before that. Booth has only nine points in 24 games this year, but his recent progress offensively is encouraging.

David Booth broke a six game goal scoring slump with his fourth goal of the season Saturday. Booth was playing in his 400th NHL game and he now has eight points and a plus-five rating in 23 games this season. He is not worth owning at this time.

David Booth tallied a goal in Vancouver's 5-2 loss to the Rangers on Saturday afternoon. He had a goal and an assist on Thursday, so this could be the start of a mini point spree for the oft-injured winger. Booth has registered just six points in 16 games this season, but he has been better since returning from the press box. We recommend taking a wait-and-see approach with him. Daniel Sedin had Vancouver's other goal in the defeat.

David Booth had a goal and an assist in Vancouver's 5-2 victory on Thursday. It was a rare offensive outburst for Booth, who has fallen out of favor in Vancouver. He's averaging just 13:14 minutes per contest and that's when he plays at all. He's worth keeping an eye on because he does have top-six potential, but we can't recommend owning him in standard leagues yet.

David Booth will return from his exodus to the press box on Monday night. He has been a healthy scratch for the last three games. In 13 games this year, Booth has one goal and two assists. He is eager to do "something" to get back into coach John Tortorella's good graces.

David Booth doesn't feel he has the same jump that used to have, but he is confident that he can get it back. "My explosiveness isn't where it was in the past," said Booth. "That extra step, that's really the strength in my game. Without a doubt I can get it back. I've had other leg injuries and it comes back with time. It's just been a little bit longer this time than in the past." Booth was a healthy scratch on Tuesday for the second time this year and he's appeared in just 13 games, mostly due to injury, where he's posted only three points.

David Booth (lower body) played in his first game with Vancouver on Thursday since the completion of his AHL conditioning stint. Booth was limited to just 12:04 minutes of ice time. He would have some fantasy value if the Canucks' were giving him a decent amount of playing time, but there's nothing to suggest that will happen.

David Booth enjoyed his AHL conditioning stint. Booth recorded an assist in three games with the AHL Utica Comets after missing some time with a lower-body injury. "It was fun playing a lot," Booth said. "You are just in the game, you don't really think the game, you just go out and play and that is something I haven't done in a long time. It was a lot of fun playing those minutes and being with the guys having their first win. I think there was nothing but positives." By contrast, Booth is averaging just 13:11 minutes per game with Vancouver this season. That lack of playing time has effectively killed his fantasy value in standard leagues.
