Harkins will miss Thursday's matchup with Calgary due to a lower-body injury, Ken Wiebe of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Considering Harkins has registered just three shots, one block and a minus-2 rating in his last five games, while averaging a meager 7:03 of ice time, few fantasy players will notice his absence from the lineup. With the 23-year-old center unavailable, David Gustafsson figures to jump into a fourth-line role versus the Flames.

Harkins (undisclosed) will play Monday in Toronto, Scott Billeck of the Winnipeg Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Harkins will join the lineup just as Patrik Laine (upper body) exits it. This will mark Harkins' first action of the season after he chipped in two goals and five assists over 29 appearances as a rookie in 2019-20.

Harkins (undisclosed) will not be in the lineup versus Calgary on Thursday, Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Even once healthy, Harkins could struggle to secure regular minutes and may even be shipped down to the taxi squad once fully fit. If Harkins does remain up on the 23-man roster, he figures to fill a bottom-six role at best and likely won't offer much more than mid-range fantasy value.

Harkins (undisclosed) skated after Tuesday's practice session, Ken Wiebe of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Harkins played in 29 games for the Jets last season, registering two goals on 29 shots, five helpers and eight hits while averaging 10:37 of ice time. Winnipeg placed Mathieu Perreault on waivers Monday, which could open up a roster spot for Harkins once the youngster is cleared to play.

Harkins was absent from practice Thursday with an undisclosed injury, Sara Orlesky of TSN.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Harkins played in 29 games for the Jets in his rookie campaign in which he garnered two goals on 29 shots, five assists and eight hits. The winger will face challenges from Dominic Toninato (undisclosed) and Kristian Vesalainen for a spot on the fourth line. An extended absence from camp ahead of Opening Night versus Calgary on Jan. 14 won't improve his chances of playing.

Harkins signed a two-year, $1.45 million contract with Winnipeg on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Harkins appeared in 29 games this season as a result of various forward injuries. In those outings, the 23-year-old natural center registered two goals, five helpers and 29 shots while averaging 13:37 of ice time. Looking ahead to 2020-21, Harkins should be expected to fill a fourth-line role but could quickly move up the depth chart if an injury or two pops up in the top six.

Harkins received a qualifying offer from the Jets on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Harkins -- a 2015 second-round pick -- played 29 NHL games this year and recorded two goals and five assists, and he logged three postseason contests as well. Barring another team making an offer, Harkins will likely sign for another year with the Jets.

Harkins scored on his lone shot in Tuesday's 6-3 win over Los Angeles.

EDGE Analysis

Harkins converted on an odd-man, transition rush to get the Jets on the board, the first of three Winnipeg goal sin the final 6:47 of the second period. The 22-year-old has two goals and four assists through his first 21 games.

Harkins recorded an assist in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

The 22-year-old has managed five points and 12 shots through his first 20 NHL games. Harkins has just five hits and seven blocked shots -- he's not contributing much in a limited, bottom-six role.

Harkins scored a goal and an assist with two shots in Thursday's 4-2 win over St. Louis.

EDGE Analysis

Harkins opened the scoring just under eight minutes into the game, sniping his first NHL goal from the left faceoff dot. He also picked up an assist on Andrew Copp's third-period tally for his first multi-point game. Harkins, 22, has a goal and four assists through his first 15 career games.
