Rieder was released from his professional tryout with the Ducks on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Rieder signed the PTO deal in September, but he didn't secure a contract with the Ducks. The 28-year-old is now a free agent. He could latch on with another team looking to bolster its bottom-six depth, as he's played at least 44 games in each of his seven NHL seasons. The German is also regarded as a solid defensive winger.

Rieder signed a professional tryout offer with the Ducks on Wednesday, CapFriendly reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rieder drew into 44 games with the Sabres last season, picking up five goals, seven points and 63 shots on net while averaging 12:15 of ice time per contest. The 28-year-old vet will hope to perform well enough to secure a contract with Anaheim during the team's upcoming training camp.

Rieder garnered an assist in Friday's win over the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

The assist snapped a 12-game point drought for Rieder. He has five goals and two helpers in 40 contests this year. He doesn't produce much in any major category, so his fantasy upside remains limited.

Rieder (undisclosed) will be activated from injured reserve to play in Monday's game versus the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

Rieder is back in the lineup after missing the last four games. The 28-year-old winger has scored five goals on 40 shots through 26 games this season. He's slated to skate on the third line with Cody Eakin and Riley Sheahan.

Rieder (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Thursday, per CapFriendly.

EDGE Analysis

Assuming this move was made retroactively, Rieder will be eligible to return Monday versus the Flyers if he's ready. He was designated day-to-day, but will end up missing at least a week of playing time.

Rieder (undisclosed) is considered day-to-day, John Vogl of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Although Rieder's considered day-to-day, he isn't expected to play Wednesday versus Pittsburgh. Either way, he's only picked up five points through 26 games this season, so his absence will likely go unnoticed in most fantasy circles.

Rieder collected a goal on two shots in a 3-2 loss to the Rangers on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Rieder sent a shot from the blue line that found its way through traffic to pull the Sabres to within 3-2 with 3:39 left in the second period. It was Rieder's first goal since Jan. 30, putting an end to his eight-game dry spell. The 28-year-old was an intriguing player early in his career with Arizona, but he's now on his fifth team in the last four years and hasn't produced much offense at any of those stops.

Rieder (undisclosed) is ready to return to the lineup Saturday against Philadelphia, per coach Ralph Krueger, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rieder has missed the last two games after getting injured Monday, but the 28-year-old winger is expected to skate in Saturday's game against the Flyers. He'll likely fill his customary role as a member of the bottom six and penalty-killing unit.

Rieder (undisclosed) won't play in Thursday's game versus the Devils, John Vogl of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rieder is still considered day-to-day, but he'll miss a second consecutive game. Jeff Skinner will remain a healthy scratch, so expect Rasmus Asplund to stay on the third line.

Rieder (undisclosed) won't play in Tuesday's game versus the Devils, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rieder suffered an undisclosed injury during Monday's loss to the Islanders, and he'll miss his first game of the season Tuesday. Rasmus Asplund was recalled from the taxi squad to fill the void because Jeff Skinner will serve as a healthy scratch or a second straight contest.
