Tootoo (lower body) will play Tuesday against the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Tootoo is a gritty player that isn't afraid to drop the gloves, but isn't a viable option in most fantasy formats, as he has yet to tally a single point while averaging just 6:59 of ice time over 18 games this season. The 33-year-old winger will slot into a bottom-six role against Florida.

Tootoo (lower body) won't be in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Kings, Tracey Myers of CSN Chicago reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tootoo's absence will take a little grit out of Chicago's lineup, but likely won't be felt by fantasy owners, as the veteran winger has failed to tally a single point while averaging just 6:59 of ice time over 18 games this season.

Tootoo (illness) took part in the Blackhawks' morning skate, indicating he'll be in the lineup for Tuesday night's home matchup with the Flyers, Tracey Myers of CSN Chicago reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 'Hawks will be happy to have the gritty winger in the lineup Tuesday against a physical Flyers team, but this confirmation of Tootoo's availability shouldn't have any impact on fantasy owners' lineups. The 33-year-old winger has averaged just 6:27 of ice time through the first three games of the season, and shouldn't be owned in season-long formats or deployed in daily contests Tuesday.

Tootoo is suffering from an illness that leave's his status for Tuesday's game against the Flyers in question, Mark Lazerus of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tootoo rarely took the ice in the first two games of the season, but saw 10:38 of ice time against Nashville on Saturday. The winger has yet to tally a point this season, and his lack of ice time leaves him undesirably in the vast majority of fantasy leagues. If he's unable to go Tuesday, the Blackhawks are expected to dress seven defensemen.

Tootoo (wrist) inked a one-year contract with Chicago on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Tootoo missed the final 22 games of the season due to a wrist injury but is expected to make a full recovery. Generally considered more of an enforcer than a scorer, the veteran winger will add some toughness to the Blackhawks. Unless fantasy owners are looking for PIM, the 33-year-old had 102 last year, they will want to consider leaving him unclaimed when draft season comes around.

Tootoo (upper body) will miss the remainder of the 2015-16 campaign after undergoing surgery on his right wrist.

EDGE Analysis

Tootoo will finish the season having notched just nine points (four goals, five assists) over 66 games, adding 102 penalty minutes but a brutal minus-26 rating. The 33-year-old should be ready for the beginning of next season, but doesn't produce consistently enough for consideration in nearly all fantasy leagues.

Tootoo (upper body) will be re-evaluated at some point this week, Rich Chere of The Star-Ledger reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tootoo remains on a bit of an open-ended timetable, but the re-evaluation should provide a bit more clarity on him moving forward. He likely remains out for the near future at a minimum, which will leave the Devils' forward ranks further depleted. Tootoo provides little offensive production even when healthy, so his status shouldn't worry many fantasy owners.

Tootoo (upper body) will sit out again Thursday against the Wild, Tom Gulitti of The Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tootoo's specialty comes in being physical, collecting 99 hits and 102 penalty minutes through 66 contests this season. He's added nine points over that span, but it's probably not enough to make him fantasy-relevant in the majority of leagues. The veteran winger's next chance to return comes Saturday against the Blue Jackets, but the team should update his status when he's fit to return.

Tootoo (upper body) will skip out again Monday against the Ducks, Tom Gulitti of The Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tootoo's absence will stretch to at least two games with him being ruled out Monday, but just nine points and 11:32 of average ice time over 66 games doesn't exactly spell fantasy-relevance anyway. He's seen even less time recently, playing just 8:05 against the Sharks and 7:18 against the Penguins in the two games prior to the injury. Expect another update on the winger when he's fit to rejoin the lineup, with his next chance arriving Thursday against the Wild.

Tootoo is dealing with an upper-body injury that will keep him from playing the Devils on Saturday night.

EDGE Analysis

Tootoo is the type of player who really gets under the skin of opponents, a trait that would have come in handy against LA's offense, which ranks 13th in the NHL. This ailment seemed to come out of nowhere, but Tootoo can be considered day-to-day ahead of Monday's road match with the Ducks.
