Jakub Lauko - NHL News & Rumors

Activated off injured reserve Lauko (lower body) was taken off long-term injured reserve Thursday.

Impact Lauko should be back in the lineup for Saturday's matchup with Nashville and will likely replace Marcus Johansson, who suffered an upper-body injury against Edmonton on Wednesday. Considering the 24-year-old Lauko is mired in a 14-game pointless streak, fantasy players probably shouldn't be banking on him for offensive upside.

He's added 13 shots on net, 13 hits and nine blocked shots while seeing fourth-line usage. Outside of deep formats, Lauko doesn't make enough of an impact to help in fantasy.

Lauko can chip in with hits, but he had just 10 points in 60 regular-season outings last year, so he offers little in the way of scoring upside.
