Stuart (upper body) could rejoin the lineup as soon as Tuesday against the Stars, Ted Wyman of the Winnipeg Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Despite practicing with the team during Sunday's morning skate, he's not yet ready to join the lineup. Even when healthy, Stuart doesn't provide much of an offensive presence, tallying just three points over 64 games last season, so his return shouldn't be of much concern in fantasy circles.

Stuart (upper body) was scratched from Friday night's game against the Red Wings, Ted Wyman of the Winnipeg Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

This marks the third game in a row that Stuart has missed due to the injury and the seventh game he's missed overall between injuries and scratches this season. From that standpoint and taking into account his 11:16 of average ice time, Stuart isn't worth rostering in most fantasy formats.

Stuart (upper body) was ruled out against Washington on Thursday, but may be cleared for Friday's contest, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stuart will sit out his sixth game of the year, this time due to injury rather than being a healthy scratch. When he has been in the lineup, the 32-year-old has registered three shots on goal, four hits, and 11 blocked shots. The blueliner's lack of offensive contributions give him minimal fantasy value unless you are in need of ancillary stats.

Stuart is labeled day-to-day with an upper-body injury, and he won't suit up Tuesday evening against the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

Having lacked an extra defenseman on the active roster with Tyler Myers (lower body) also ailing, the Jets reportedly summoned Julian Melchiori from the minors. Still, considering Stuart hasn't marked the scoresheet with a single point in five games, his absence isn't likely to impact more than a handful of fantasy owners.

Stuart returns to the lineup against the Stars on Tuesday, the Winnipeg Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tuesday will be Stuart's second game of the year after being a healthy scratch for the Jets' previous three contests. The 32-year-old will likely playing alongside Ben Chiarot on the third defensive pairing. In his one appearance, Stuart was primarily used on the penalty kill and will likely do so against against Dallas. The Minnesota native's inclusion on the depth chart will push Paul Postma off the bench and into the press box.

Stuart notched an assist and was plus-1 against the Wild on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Stuart helped set up Kyle Connor for what would be the game-winning goal in Thursday's preseason matchup. The blueliner logged 18:52 in ice time, including 3:04 on the penalty kill as the Jets snagged a 4-1 victory. The 32-year-old tallied just three points in 64 outings last season, so fantasy owners may want to consider other options on defense for their lineups.

Stuart (upper body) has been placed on injured reserve retroactive to Feb. 13.

EDGE Analysis

By moving Stuart to IR, the Jets were able to call up Matt Halischuk from AHL Manitoba. Back on Feb. 15, Jets coach Paul Maurice estimated that Stuart would miss 4-to-6 weeks of action.

Coach Paul Maurice indicated Monday that Stuart will miss 4-to-6 weeks

EDGE Analysis

While Stuart doesn't provide much on the offensive end, he generally makes a strong imprint on the defensive end (92 blocked shots, 137 hits in 55 games). In his absence, the Jets will need to shuffle the defensive pairings a bit, but they have plenty of options with seven other healthy defensemen on the roster.

Stuart registered an assist, eight hits, and three blocked shots in Thursday's Game 1 loss to the Ducks. Stuart typically shines in the defensive categories, but the assist is a relative rarity. He finished the regular season with just 14 points in 70 games.

Stuart (face) appears to be on track to play Saturday against the Predators, Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun reports. The Jets evaluated Stuart after he took a puck to the face during Friday's practice, but his presence on the ice during Saturday's morning skate suggests that he was able to avoid a concussion. He skated as part of a defensive pairing with Jacob Trouba during Saturday's session, an indicator that the Jets expect to have him available for the game later in the evening.
