Fehr (hand) was a full participant in Thursday's practice and is nearing a return to the lineup, James Mirtle of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Though the veteran is getting close to being healthy, the fact that his status for Thursday's series opener in Washington wasn't commented on seems to rule him out. The most interesting thing about this report as that it implies that once Fehr is healthy, he will indeed be included in the lineup. If this ends up being the case, Fehr and his 60 games of postseason experience would likely replace a young forward like Kasperi Kapanen.

Fehr will be out indefinitely with a broken left hand, Star.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

In his first game in a Toronto uniform on Wednesday, Fehr managed to log just 10:44 worth of ice time while skating on the team's fourth line before sustaining the injury that left his hand in a cast Thursday.

Fehr exited Wednesday's contest early with an apparent hand injury, Lance Hornby of the Toronto Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fehr spent the night in the hospital and could be done for the season. It would be a disappointing end to the year for the winger who managed to suit up for just one game since being sent to the Leafs at the trade deadline. The team will likely provide more details when they determine the severity of the injury. For now, Fehr will be replaced in the lineup by Josh Leivo.

Fehr and defenseman Steve Oleksy -- along with a 2017 fourth-round pick -- were traded from Pittsburgh to Toronto on Wednesday in exchange for another blueliner in Frank Corrado, ESPN's Pierre LeBrun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fehr was waived by the Penguins on Tuesday, which was a not-so-subtle hint that he'd ultimately be packaged in a trade. The 31-year-old winger has one year remaining on a contract that includes an average annual value of $2 million; he'll be an unrestricted free agent once that deal expires. This transaction should positively impact the Leafs since Fehr is a veteran who figures to provide sound guidance to the team's burgeoning forwards.

Fehr was waived by the team Tuesday, Chris Johnston of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fehr was still at Tuesday's game-day skate and, based on line rushes, appears to be in the lineup for the Pens' meeting with the Stars. If Pittsburgh are going to make a move at the trade deadline, they need some extra roster flexibility which waiving Fehr provides them. If their roster remains status quo, the 31-year-old could remain in the NHL rather than being sent down to the minors.

Fehr collected an assist and registered a plus-2 rating during Tuesday's win over Nashville.

EDGE Analysis

Locked into a fourth-line role, Fehr is off the fantasy grid in the majority of settings. He entered Tuesday's game averaging just 11:13 of ice time per outing, and left the contest with an underwhelming six goals and 10 points. Don't fret ignoring Fehr in daily contests or leaving him to the waiver wire in seasonal leagues.

The Penguins scratched Fehr for the third consecutive game Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Scott Wilson, Tom Kuhnhackl and Matt Cullen combined to form the team's fourth line. The 31-year-old has five points (3G, 2A) in 26 games. If Pittsburgh decides it doesn't need his veteran presence and penalty killing skills, then Fehr could become trade fodder.

Fehr potted the game-winning goal Tuesday against the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

The goal represents his first point of the season through seven games. Fehr skated with Matt Cullen and Tom Kuhnhackl. With Cullen moving down to the fourth line following Sidney Crosby's return, Fehr might see a few more offensive opportunities. That said, Pittsburgh relies on his penalty-killing role more than anything else.

Fehr, who is skating as a fourth-line winger, has yet to collect a point through the season's first six contests.

EDGE Analysis

He potted 19 goals two seasons ago with the Capitals, but Pittsburgh uses him primarily in a penalty-killing role -- he scored eight goals in 55 games last season. Fehr leads all Penguin forwards in short-handed ice time (2:39) but offers little from a fantasy perspective other than the occasional shortie goal.

Fehr wristed an insurance goal past San Jose netminder Martin Jones on Monday, giving Pittsburgh a 3-1 lead in both the game and the series.

EDGE Analysis

He converted a Carl Hagelin feed from the left boards with a wrister from the slot for his third goal and fourth point of the playoffs. Fehr is an integral part of the Pens' ability to roll four lines against the Sharks.
