Matt Martin - Page 2 - NHL News & Rumors

Pockets rare assist Martin notched an assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 7-2 win over the Sharks.

Impact Martin snapped a 21-game point drought drought when he set up Kyle MacLean's goal in the second period. That scoring slump was over two months long, though that's not unusual for a player with Martin's skill set. He has a meager four points with 35 shots on net, 118 hits and a plus-4 rating through 40 appearances this season, so he doesn't need to be rostered the vast majority of fantasy formats.

Impact Martin exited Saturday's win over the Bruins in the third period with an undisclosed issue, but he should slot into his usual fourth-line role versus the Blues. He's picked up just two goals and three points through 38 contests this campaign.

Practicing Saturday Martin (illness) is practicing Saturday, according to Andrew Gross of Newsday.

The 34-year-old winger has just three points and 16 shots to go with 40 points and 12 PIM through 18 outings this season, so he's not likely to be helpful in fantasy.

Hits and penalties are generally his biggest contributions for fantasy managers in deeper pools.

Being moved around Martin could play on what is technically the third line with Casey Cizikas and Hudson Fasching versus the Capitals on Saturday.

Impact Martin has been like a pinball of late, playing on different lines with different players. This has included a stint or two on the top line as coach Lane Lambert has been trying to find the right combination of forwards game in and game out. The return of Cal Clutterbuck (upper body) from IR on Saturday also could indicate that it's only a matter of time until the crash line of Martin, Cizikas and Clutterbuck is put back together.
