Harkins has been placed in the NHL's concussion protocol, Scott Billeck of the Winnipeg Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Harkins was already ruled out for Wednesday's clash with Detroit but the fact that he has been diagnosed with a concussion could see him sidelined for longer. The natural center is stuck in a seven-game pointless streak and has just two points in his last 26 contests. As such, few fantasy players will be impacted by his absence even if it ends up being long term.

Harkins (upper body) is still being evaluated but won't suit up versus the Red Wings on Wednesday, Ken Wiebe of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

The fact that Harkins has already been ruled out for Wednesday's tilt certainly doesn't bode well for him being sidelined short term. Considering the Cleveland native has a mere two points in his previous 26 contests, few fantasy players will be impacted by his absence. Fortunately for the Jets, Kyle Connor has cleared the COVID-19 protocols and will jump back into a top-six role to fill out the lineup.

Harkins (upper body) won't return to Saturday's game versus the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Harkins received an elbow up high from Arthur Kaliyev, which sent the former to the locker room. The 24-year-old Harkins can be considered day-to-day until a further update on his status comes from the team. The Jets' next game is Wednesday versus the Red Wings.

Harkins (upper body) is in Sunday's lineup against Arizona, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Harkins was considered a game-time call Sunday but won't miss any game action with his minor injury. The 24-year-old has just 10 points through 65 games this season. He'll skate in his usual bottom-six role.

Harkins (upper body) participated in Sunday's morning skate, Ken Wiebe of Sportsnet.ca reports. He's considered a game-time call for Sunday's game against the Coyotes, JetsTV Reporter Mitchell Clinton adds.

EDGE Analysis

Harkins left Friday's game against the Blue Jackets due to an arm/elbow injury, but he may not have to miss any additional time. If given the green light Sunday evening, he'll likely occupy his usual spot on the fourth line against Arizona.

Harkins (upper body) will not return to Friday's game against Columbus.

EDGE Analysis

Harkins posted a minus-1 rating in 3:25 of ice time before leaving Friday's game. The 24-year-old has just 10 points through 65 games on the year. An update on his status should be available before Sunday's game against the Coyotes.

Harkins scored twice on five shots in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

Harkins' pair of tallies game in the second period to push the Jets to a 3-2 lead. Prior to Sunday, he hadn't registered a point since his goal Feb. 11 versus the Stars -- he was held off the scoresheet in 18 straight games. The forward has struggled a bit with 10 points, 56 shots on net, 44 hits and a minus-8 rating through 62 appearances. Despite Sunday's scoring outburst, Harkins will likely remain in a bottom-six role. He played on the third line Sunday because Adam Lowry entered the COVID-19 protocols.

Harkins potted a goal in Friday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Harkins has five goals and three assists for a career-high point total. Granted, the sample size is small at 98 career contests, but we see flashes of the potential that made Harkins a second-round (No. 47 overall) pick in the 2015 draft. The 24-year-old operates in a fourth-line capacity and that dampens his appeal this early in his career.

Harkins (COVID-19 protocols) has been released from quarantine and will join the team in Detroit, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Harkins has registered just one goal in his last 19 contests, including a pair of assists, so his return is unlikely to impact the majority of fantasy players. Still, with the number of players in COVID-19 protocols and dealing with injuries, Harkins could jump up into a top-six role.

Harkins entered the NHL's COVID-19 protocols Thursday, Scott Billeck of the Winnipeg Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Harkins will need to submit two negative COVID-19 tests before rejoining the Jets, so he'll miss Thursday's game against the Avalanche at the minimum. At this point it isn't clear who will enter the lineup in Harkins' place versus Colorado.
