Detroit activated Daley (lower body) off injured reserve Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Although Daley's now presumably healthy, he's not expected to be in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Canucks. The veteran blueliner will be a nice rotational option for the Red Wings this season, but he's only totaled eight points in 46 games over the last two campaigns, and won't be a useful fantasy option this year.

Daley (lower body) practiced with the team Monday, Dana Wakiji of the Red Wings' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 36-year-old blueliner has missed three games since landing on injured reserve with his lower-body issue. Daley's presence at practice suggests he could return soon, though it's unknown if he'll be ready in time for Tuesday's tilt in Vancouver.

Daley (lower body) was placed on injured reserve by Detroit on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Daley suffered the injury during Sunday's game against the Stars, and never returned. The injury will now force him to miss at least the next week, along with fellow defenseman Johnathan Ericsson (undisclosed) who was also placed on IR. In their stead, look for Madison Bowey and Dennis Cholowski to be inserted into the lineup.

Daley (lower body) is not expected to suit up for Tuesday's game against the Ducks, Dana Wakiji of the Red Wings' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Daley left Sunday's game early and head coach Jeff Blashill already assuming he'll miss Tuesday's game isn't a great sign. A more clear update should be available early this week.

Daley left Sunday's contest against Dallas with a lower-body injury and will not return.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear how severe Daley's injury is, but he saw just 7:25 of ice time in Sunday's contest. If he can't suit up for Tuesday's game against Anaheim, expect Jonathan Ericsson (undisclosed) or Madison Bowey to take his place.

Daley (upper body) has been cleared to participate in Detroit's training camp, Dana Wakiji of the Red Wings' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Daley dealt with six different injuries in 2018-19 that limited him to just 44 games on the season, but he'll be healthy heading into 2019-20 as long as he's able to avoid the injury bug during training camp and preseason action. Either way, there's no reason for owners to keep tabs on the 35-year-old blueliner's status, as he's only totaled 24 points in 121 contests over the past two campaigns and won't be a useful fantasy option this season.

Daley (upper body) dealt with six injuries in the 2018-19 campaign, with only two goals and six assists representing his point total over 44 games.

EDGE Analysis

Injuries largely sapped what little fantasy value Daley had coming into his 15th NHL campaign. He averaged 18:34 of ice time, but his power-play action was reduced to seconds, and the Toronto native has a lot to prove to GM Steve Yzerman in the final year of a three-year, $9 million deal. There will be plenty of defenseman worth drafting ahead of him for fantasy purposes, but he remains valuable to the Wings on the penalty kill.

As expected, Daley (upper body) won't return this season, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Daley will be in a contract year in 2019-10 -- after that, he can become an unrestricted free agent. A hard-working veteran defenseman, Daley has produced 302 points (89 goals, 213 assists) over 1,015 career contests between four clubs.

Daley is likely to miss the rest of the regular season due to a back injury, Dana Wakiji of the Red Wings' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

This news was relayed from coach Jeff Blashill, who was initially hopeful that Daley would be able to join the team on a five-game road trip that concludes in Buffalo on March 28. Assuming Daley has played his last game in 2018-19, he'll finish with two goals, eight assists and a minus-3 rating through 44 games. The scant offensive output renders the defenseman a poor draft choice in all but the deepest fantasy leagues for next year.

Daley (upper body) made the trip to New York but won't play in Tuesday's game against the Rangers, Dana Gauruder, contributor to the Detroit Free Press, reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Red Wings are scheduled to play five road games over the next 10 days, with Daley and fellow defenseman Jonathan Ericsson (lower body) tagging along in case one (or both) players ultimately feel well enough to rejoin the lineup by the time the expedition ends in Buffalo on March 28. Daley only has two goals and eight points through 44 games this season, meaning this news isn't likely to cause a stir in the fantasy realm.
