Matthias collected a second-period assist and played 13:45 during Wednesday's win over Arizona.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old forward brings plenty of intangibles to the table and has flashed some offensive upside for stretches over the years. However, at the end of the day, he's playing a bottom-six role for Winnipeg and entered Wednesday's game starting just 58.9 percent of his five-on-five shifts in the defensive zone. You'll want to aim higher in all fantasy settings.

Matthias (lower body) will rejoin the lineup versus the Canucks on Thursday after being activated off injured reserve, Ted Wyman of the Winnipeg Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Matthias will make his long awaited return after sitting out 25 consecutive games dating back to Nov. 1. Through the opening 10 games of the year, the winger did manage to record two goals and an assist while averaging just 11:50 of ice time per night. Primarily used on the penalty kill, fantasy owners probably shouldn't expect the 28-year-old to crack the 30-point mark for this first time in his career this season. With Matthias finally healthy, Andrew Copp will get bumped from the lineup against Vancouver.

According to coach Paul Maurice, Matthias (lower body) could return to the lineup in December, Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Matthias, who has already sat out 18 games with this ailment, could be out a few more as he works his way back. In his 10 appearances this year, the 28-year-old averaged 11:50 of ice time per night resulting in three points, 12 shots on goal, and seven hits. Once cleared to return, the winger will likely displace Brandon Tanev from the game-day lineup.

Matthias (lower body) is considered week-to-week, Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Matthias, who was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, will miss at least a week, if not more, after exiting Tuesday's matchup with Washington. The 28-year-old has been relatively quiet through the first 10 games of the year, as he's recorded just three points, 12 shots on goal, and five blocked shots. With the Ontario native on IR, the Jets recalled Andrew Copp from AHL Manitoba.

Matthias left Tuesday's contest against the Capitals with a lower-body injury and will not return.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear how the 28-year-old center sustained the ailment but the team will likely release details following the game. Prior to his exit, the Ontario-native picked up a blocked shot across 3:24 of ice time.

Matthias scored the only goal of Friday's game against the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

Matthias is playing a bottom-six role for the Jets, and he's unlikely to have a major impact offensively. He's registered two goals and an assist through eight games to start the campaign and barely tips the scales across the peripheral categories. Matthias' fantasy value is limited.

Matthias (upper body) will suit up versus Carolina on Thursday, Brian Munz of TSN 1290 reports.

EDGE Analysis

Matthias, who signed with the team during the offseason, will make his Jets debut Thursday. Although he is on Winnipeg's second line, the winger's value is limited due to his absence from the power play. Barring injury, fantasy owners should expect the 28-year-old to be restricted to just even-strength minutes as he has never been a significant special-teams contributor during his career.

Jets coach Paul Maurice said it's "possible" that Matthias (upper body) will play in the season opener against Carolina on Thursday, Ted Wyman of the Winnipeg Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Matthias sustained the injury in a preseason game against the Flames on Sept. 27 and did not return. Excluding the Red Wings, who took him in the second round of the 2006 draft, the Jets count as Matthias' fifth different NHL club. He has compiled 159 points (81 goals, 78 assists) over 479 career regular-season contests.
