Canadiens' Chris Tierney: Picks up shorthanded assist
Rotowire
Tierney had a shorthanded assist, one shot on goal and one blocked shot over 13:18 of ice time in Thursday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Rangers.
Tierney jumped on a misplayed puck by New York's Patrick Kane and skated into the Rangers' zone before feeding Josh Anderson for a shorthanded tally midway through the second period. He's logged three assists over the last two games and four points overall in seven games since Montreal claimed him off waivers. Tierney is one of several fringe forwards playing regular roles with injuries to Cole Caufield (shoulder), Kirby Dach (lower body), Jake Evans (lower body), Brendan Gallagher (lower body) and Juraj Slafkovsky (lower body).

Panthers' Chris Tierney: In concussion protocol
Rotowire
Tierney is in the NHL's concussion protocol, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.
Tierney is believed to be "worse than day-to-day," so for now, the 28-year-old forward can be considered out indefinitely. Tierney has drawn into just five games with the Panthers this season, as he's been splitting time between the NHL and the AHL, so his absence will likely go unnoticed in most fantasy circles.

Panthers' Chris Tierney: Heading to Florida
Rotowire
Tierney signed a one-year, two-way deal with the Panthers on Saturday, Daily Faceoff reports. It carries a cap hit of $750,000.
Now 28, the 55th overall pick from the 2012 draft will join his third NHL organization after an 18-point, 70-game showing with the Senators last season. Tierney once popped 17 goals with the Sharks in 2017-18 and followed that up with a 48-point effort the following season with Ottawa, but he's hardly a fantasy darling at this point. If the Ontario native can earn a regular role in the lineup in training camp, though, he could provide some DFS and deep-league value as part of a potent Panthers offense.

Senators' Chris Tierney: Garners assist in victory
Rotowire
Tierney managed to pick up an assist in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Canadiens.
Tierney doesn't draw much fanfare in the fantasy realm due to his scant role with the Sens, but he's posted at least 20 points in six of his eight seasons and can make it a seventh with two more points in Ottawa's final three games. With six goals and 12 assists, he's nearly mirrored his output from 2020-21, albeit in 12 more games.

Senators' Chris Tierney: Will return Wednesday
Rotowire
Tierney (upper body) was activated from injured reserve and will play Wednesday versus the Blue Jackets.
Tierney missed the last eight games with the injury. He'll slot into a fourth-line role while Dylan Gambrell is expected to be a healthy scratch. Tierney has only 15 points and 59 shots on net through 51 contests, so he's not likely to make much of an impact in fantasy.

Tierney's status against the Blue Jackets may boil down to a game-time decision. The 27-year-old forward has only tallied 15 points through 51 games this season, so most fantasy managers shouldn't need to keep tabs on his availability.

Rotowire
Tierney recorded two assists in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Capitals.

Senators' Chris Tierney: Chips in with helper
Rotowire
Tierney notched an assist in Monday's 4-1 win over the Devils.
Tierney helped out on an Adam Gaudette goal in the second period. Offense has been limited for Tierney this season, as he's picked up just 11 points through 41 contests, compared to 19 points in 55 outings last season. The 27-year-old has four helpers in his last 11 games, but his bottom-six role and lack of physicality leaves him in a position with little fantasy appeal.
