EDGE Analysis

Di Giuseppe has cleared COVID-19 protocol and will enter the lineup for the first time since March 13. The 27-year-old should slot into a bottom-six role. He doesn't provide much fantasy upside, as he's recorded seven points and 64 hits through 23 games.

Di Giuseppe cleared the NHL's COVID-19 protocol Thursday, Vince Z. Mercogliano of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

Di Giuseppe has been in COVID-19 protocol since March 14. He won't play in Thursday's game versus the Flyers, but the 27-year-old winger may have enough time to ramp up his conditioning for Saturday's rematch.

Di Giuseppe (Covid-19) was placed on the non-roster list Monday, according to CapFriendly.

EDGE Analysis

Di Giuseppe is on the NHL's COVID-19 protocols list so this could simply a paper move. His timetable to return is still unclear. The 27-year-old has seven points in 23 games this season.

Di Giuseppe was placed in the NHL's COVID-19 protocol Sunday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Di Giuseppe had an assist in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

After scoring four points in his first three appearances this season, Di Giuseppe has come crashing back down to earth with just three in his last 16 games. His lineup spot could be in jeopardy when Kaapo Kakko (not injury related) or Artemi Panarin (not injury related) are ready to return.

Di Giuseppe had two hits over a team-low 9:22 of ice time in Thursday's 3-2 shootout loss to Philadelphia.

EDGE Analysis

Di Giuseppe has proven capable of sliding up the lineup when called upon and playing a puck retrieval role alongside skilled players, but he's currently relegated to a fourth-line role with the Rangers healthy on the wings. He has five assists through 14 games, but four of those helpers came in his first three appearances.

Di Giuseppe recorded two assists and added eight hits, five shots, a blocked shot and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old put together a huge night in fantasy formats that value secondary categories, and Di Giuseppe's effort wasn't too bad in standard points leagues, either. He's never been a offensive force in his NHL career, but he now has a three-game point streak going to begin the season, having notched four assists over that stretch. However, without a top-six assignment or a regular spot on a power-play unit, DI Giuseppe's unlikely to maintain this pace for long.

Di Giuseppe made his season debut in Saturday's 5-0 win over the Islanders and contributed an assist.

EDGE Analysis

After being a healthy scratch for Thursday's 4-0 season-opening loss, Di Giussepe was inserted into the lineup in place of Kevin Rooney (undisclosed). The winger skated on the third line and contributed to the Rangers' offensive onslaught. Di Giussepe may find himself in the press box when the team's at full health, but he'll provide valuable depth during the grind of the 2021 campaign.
