Frequent scratch this season Deslauriers was a healthy scratch for the ninth game in a row in Friday's 3-1 win over the Rangers.

The 33-year-old winger also sat the first five games of the year and a three-game span around the end of October. He has one assist, 15 hits and five PIM across seven outings, though he's the logical choice to enter the lineup when another forwards ends up the target of Tortorella's ire.

He's not guaranteed to stay in the lineup over Bobby Brink, but Deslauriers' usage is so minimal, he's not really an option in any fantasy format.
