The Lightning recalled Schenn from AHL Syracuse on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Victor Hedman is considered questionable for Wednesday's game against New Jersey due to a lower-body injury, so Schenn will join the team as an insurance policy. He'll be returned to the minors as soon as Hedman is cleared to play.

Schenn was placed on waivers by Tampa Bay on Monday, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schenn was no doubt hoping to avoid time in the minors this season after logging 29 games in the AHL last year. Unfortunately, the 2008 fifth-overall pick couldn't secure a spot on the 23-man roster and appears destined for the minors again, barring a waiver claim. The blueliner's modest $700,00 salary and 734 games of NHL experience could get him a look from some of the league's other clubs.

Schenn signed a one-year, $700,000 contract with Tampa Bay on Monday, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schenn played in a mere 26 games for Vancouver and Arizona last season and failed to record a goal for the first time in his NHL career. The blueliner could find minutes a little easier to come by with the Lightning, though he shouldn't be expected to reach the 20-point mark, which he hasn't done since 2011-12 when he was with Toronto.

Schenn is expected to sign a one-year contract with the Lightning when free agency begins, Frank Seravalli of TSN.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schenn played in 18 games for the Canucks in 2018, registering two points and two assists over that stretch. Assuming the deal becomes official, Schenn would likely compete for playing time with Erik Cernak and Jan Rutta

Schenn picked up an assist during Thursday's victory over the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

It was just Schenn's second point of the season, having appeared in only 22 games between Anaheim and Vancouver. The points will be a rare occurrence, as Schenn's value is purely in hits. He's racked up 88 hits, averaging exactly four hits per game.

Schenn delivered a career-high 12 hits in Sunday's 5-0 loss to the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

Schenn's heavy performance is the 35th such game since 2005-06. He added two PIM and two blocked shots in the game. He only has a single assist to go with 77 hits in 20 contests this season.

Schenn drew an assist on Loui Eriksson's goal in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime win against Toronto.

EDGE Analysis

The fifth overall selection in 2008 has not had the NHL career many felt he was destined for, as Wednesday saw Schenn record his first point of 2018-19. The 29-year-old is not ownable in any format.

The Canucks recalled Schenn from AHL Utica on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

With Chris Tanev (leg) landing on injured reserve, the Canucks have summoned the services of another defenseman ahead of Saturday's game against the Sharks. There's nothing at this point to suggest another defenseman is dealing with an injury, so Schenn could be just a healthy scratch.

Schenn was placed on waivers Saturday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

The writing was on the wall that Schenn would be rendered expendable since he'd been a healthy scratch for nine of the past 10 games. Assuming he passes through waivers unclaimed, AHL San Diego should welcome Schenn aboard.

Schenn was a healthy scratch for Sunday's 3-2 road win over the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

Ducks coach Randy Carlyle has been playing Schenn in every other game so far. If that trend continues, it will be be difficult to count on the first-round pick (Toronto, 2008) in virtually any type of fantasy league. Schenn specializes in racking up hits and blocked shots -- he finished with 219 and 105 of those, respectively, with Arizona last season -- but the Ducks don't count on him for offense, and neither should you as an owner likely craving those big point totals.
