Spooner is in line to skate on the Bruins' fourth line Tuesday against the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

Spooner is thus slated to continue work Tuesday on a trio with Dominic Moore and Jimmy Hayes. Through 21 games, Spooner -- who started the campaign in a top-six role -- has logged three goals and eight points, which puts him behind his 2015-16 scoring pace (13/36/49 in 80 games). The 24-year-old forward brings speed and good puck skills to the table, but consistency has been elusive for him this season. On the plus side, Spooner snapped a five-game scoreless streak, by notching a helper in 10:38 worth of ice time Sunday against the Lightning.

Spooner lit the lamp by deflecting a shot from defenseman Zdeno Chara in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Coyotes.

EDGE Analysis

Spooner is playing well with two goals and two assists over the past six games. His 49-point breakout campaign in 2015-16 put him on the map in fantasy land ahead of this season, though he must remain efficient as a skater averaging only 15:42 of ice time per contest. While he seems to be heating up offensively, the Bruins should be concerned about how he's getting destroyed in faceoffs -- Spooner's win rate in the dot is only 28.57 percent.

Spooner collected a power-play assist during the second period of Monday's win over the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

After posting an impressive 49-point campaign last year, Spooner has just two goals and two helpers through the first 11 games of 2016-17. Boston has four games over the next six nights, so he's a potential add that's capable of providing some offensive punch in the immediate future. Spooner is also an excellent power-play scorer that's locked into a role with the No. 1 unit, so he should begin to show an uptick in offensive production.

Spooner centered the Bruins' third line at practice Monday.

EDGE Analysis

With Spooner working at his natural position Monday, Danton Heinen worked on a line with David Krejci and David Backes. After being scratched from last Thursday's game against New Jersey, Spooner was back in the B's lineup for Saturday's 4-2 loss to Montreal, logging a goal and a minus -2 rating in 14:10 worth of ice time, including 2:51 on the power play.

Spooner is slated to return to the Bruins' lineup Saturday against Montreal, CSN New England reports.

EDGE Analysis

After being made a a healthy scratch on Thursday night against New Jersey, Spooner is in line to work Saturday on a line with David Krejci and David Backes. It's an assignment that carries with it some fantasy upside, with the move to sit the speedy and skilled Spooner -- a candidate to see power play duty in his return -- amounting to a wake-up call.

Spooner didn't take part in line rushes during pregame warmups, indicating he'll be a healthy scratch for Thursday's home game against the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

Spooner has failed to tally a point over his last two games, and with Patrice Bergeron returning to the lineup Thursday, there isn't any room in Boston's top-12 forward group for the 24-year-old Canadian. Matt Beleskey stands to benefit most from the speedy forward's scratch, as he'll replace Spooner on the Bruins' second power-play unit in Thursday's contest.

Spooner is a candidate to be scratched Thursday against New Jersey, CSN New England reports.

EDGE Analysis

Spooner has failed to record a point over his last two games and with Patrice Bergeron back in action Thursday, Spooner is now in danger of being a healthy scratch. Such a potential outcome won't be likely confirmed, either way, until pre-game warmups.

Spooner recorded an assist in 17:37 worth of ice time in Thursday's 6-3 win over Columbus.

EDGE Analysis

Spooner, who saw 2:59 worth of power play ice time in the game, is on track to see top-six duty up front for the Bruins out of the gate. As long as that remains the case, and the speedy and skilled 24-year-old forward continues to see man-advantage duty, Spooner -- who finished the 2015-16 campaign with 13 goals and 49 points in 80 games -- could see an uptick in production this season.

Spooner skated on a line with David Backes and David Krejci at practice Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Spooner's speed, Krejci's playmaking and Backes' grit are a nice blend on a strong top-six trio comprised of natural centers. It's a combo that figures to get a chance out of the gate this season, which puts Spooner in a position to see an uptick in production, especially if he continues to see power-play time. The 24-year-old Spooner finished the 2015-16 campaign with 13 goals and 49 points in 80 games.

Stempniak finished the 2015-16 season with 13 goals and 49 points in 80 games for the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

The 24-year-old forward recorded a minus-9 mark in that span, but on the plus side Spooner managed six goals and 11 helpers while on the man advantage for the B's. Looking toward the 2016-17 season, Spooner's speed and playmaking knack will continue to be valuable assets to the Bruins' forward corps, but an uptick in his overall prospects hinge on demonstrating increased aptitude while in the team's defensive zone.
