Garbutt scored a goal in Wednesday's win over Arizona, giving him points in three straight games.
In the last three games Garbutt has two goals, an assist, a plus-4 rating, and nine shots. He's providing a ton of value for owners right now, but there's no guarantee how long this will last. His career-high numbers came last season when he posted 17 goals and 15 assists in 75 games, though he's currently on pace to best those numbers with 19 goals and 16 assists.

Garbutt was suspended three games Thursday for a slew-foot on Winnipeg's Dustin Byfuglien in Tuesday's game, USA Today reports.
The infraction Garbutt committed typically results in only a fine, but given the severity of his act and his disciplinary history, the NHL decided to come down harder than expected. Garbutt will sit out one game this weekend and two games next week before being eligible to return Dec. 21.

Garbutt will have a hearing Thursday morning regarding his slew-foot on the Jets' Dustin Byfuglien in Tuesday's game.
Garbutt returned from a two-game suspension just two weeks ago for kneeing the Oilers' Taylor Hall, so don't expect the NHL's Department of Player Safety to give him the benefit of the doubt when they rule on his case Thursday. It seems all but certain that another suspension -- or at least a healthy fine -- will be coming Garbutt's way.

Garbutt scored an empty netter to go along with three shots and six hits in Saturday's win over Montreal.
In the three games since his two-game suspension, Garbutt has two goals, a plus-1 rating, eight shots, and four penalty minutes. He only played 5:04 against Detroit, but he's otherwise been putting up some solid numbers across categories for owners. His ceiling is low, but he's making a little noise right now.

Garbutt served the ban for him illegal kneeing on the Oilers' Taylor Hall back on Nov. 25. Colton Sceviour is expected to exit the lineup Tuesday for the Stars, clearing a spot for Garbutt on the team's bottom six.

Garbutt was suspended two games for kneeing the Oilers' Taylor Hall in Tuesday's match, NHL.com's Mark Stepneski reports.
As he is often wont to do, Garbutt was pestering the Edmonton star throughout the game but went a little overboard with eight minutes remaining in the third period, clipping Hall with his knee and earning a two-minute minor for tripping. The banishment will keep him out of action until the Stars' Dec. 2 game against the Maple Leafs.

Garbutt (upper body) was on the ice for practice Monday, Mark Stepnieski of the Stars' official site reports.
Garbutt was expected to miss about a week with his injury, and a return Tuesday would fit right into that timetable. If he is unable to go, the Stars' next game isn't until Friday, which would give him three additional days of rest.

Garbutt (upper body) is expected to miss a week of action, Mark Stepneski of the Stars' official site reports.
Garutt's injury still hasn't been specified beyond upper body, but it wouldn't be surprising if the Stars place him on injured reserve. His target date could be next Tuesday against the Oilers or Friday against the Wild assuming he doesn't suffer any setbacks.
