Remains sidelined for Monday's game
Desharnais (upper body) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Vancouver, and he's unlikely to play Wednesday against the Oilers, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.
ANALYSIS
Desharnais has missed the last nine games due to an upper-body injury, and it seems unlikely that he'll return to game action before the end of the regular season. The 28-year-old has made 51 appearances between Vancouver, Pittsburgh and San Jose this year, racking up three assists, 87 hits, 83 blocked shots and 45 PIM while averaging 15:55 of ice time.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Desharnais was a full-time player for the Oilers last season, appearing in 78 of 82 regular-season games before being scratched for nine of Edmonton's final 10 postseason appearances. He offered nothing offensively, managing just a single goal and 11 points. Desharnais did post 134 hits and 122 blocks but even those numbers aren't significant enough to give him value in such formats. Desharnais inked a two-year, $4 million contract with the rival Canucks in free agency and he will go about attempting to win a bottom-pairing role with his new club.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Might play in Game 2
Desharnais could rejoin the lineup for Game 2 against the Panthers on Monday, Darren Dreger of TSN reports.
ANALYSIS
Desharnais has served as a healthy scratch for the Oilers' last four games but looks poised to reclaim a spot in the lineup Monday. If the 28-year-old blueliner does suit up, it may not be a straight defenseman-for-defenseman swap, as it seems Edmonton might be willing to roll with seven blueliners. If that's the case, Corey Perry could find himself back in the press box as a healthy scratch.
