News: After playing in the bottom three against Columbus Friday, Niklas Hagman was training with the fourth line again at practice, reports Eric Stephens of the Orange County Register.
Analysis: Coach Bruce Boudreau seems to have lost some confidence in the veteran winger, stating "Sometimes guys get in a rut, They just sort of need a wake-up call a little bit. When we put Beleskey on the fourth line about eight games ago or ten games ago, he went ‘Whoa'. And then he started to really come on."

News: The Ducks have claimed Niklas Hagman off re-entry waivers from the Flames, Bob McKenzie of TSN reports.
Analysis:Niklas Hagman only has four points in eight games in 2011, but he's only two years removed from a 44-point season and is coming off a 27-point campaign in 2010. The Flames may have been trying to save some cash by sending down the 31-year-old, and if so, the move backfired with the Ducks pouncing.
News: The Flames placed Niklas Hagman on re-entry waivers Saturday, TSN's Bob McKenzie reports.
Analysis:Niklas Hagman was sent down Friday in what appears to be a money-saving move. If Hagman goes unclaimed, he'll likely rejoin the Flames prior to Tuesday's game against the Senators.
News: The Flames have sent Niklas Hagman to the minors, James Mirtle of the Globe & Mail reports.
Analysis:Niklas Hagman cleared waivers and was sent down Friday. In eight appearances this season, Hagman has recorded four points (1G, 3A). The 31-year-old has had a consistent career in the NHL and recorded 40+ points each year from 2007-2009. No teams were willing to take a flier on Hagman likely due, in-part, to his $3 million cap hit. It looks he'll be in the AHL indefinitely.

News:Niklas Hagman stepped in for Curtis Glencross on Wednesday and took advantage, tallying an assist as the Flames' defeated the Avalanche 4-2 Wednesday.
Analysis:Niklas Hagman was a healthy scratch the previous game, but played well Wednesday and now has four points and is a plus-3 in seven games. There is a glut at the forward position in Calgary, so it's hard to gauge how much playing time Hagman will get, especially with Roman Horak playing well, but Hagman is playing solid hockey when he is on the ice.
News:Niklas Hagman was a healthy scratch for Saturday's game and may continue to lose playing time in favor of Roman Horak, the Calgary Sun reports.
Analysis: The Flames are overloaded at the forward position, and Niklas Hagman may be the odd man out for an extended amount of time. His fantasy value is plummeting, so don't count on him for any production in the near future.

News: Hagman flew back to Calgary after suffering an apparent concussion in Monday's loss to the Kings, the Flames' official site reports.

News: The Flames placed Hagman on waivers Monday, the National Post reports. Hagman makes $3 million this year, so sending him down could clear cap room for the Flames to add a player via the trade market before the deadline, the Calgary Herald reports.
Analysis: Other NHL teams will have 24 hours to put in a claim for Hagman, who has nine goals and 15 assists in 57 games this season. If he goes unclaimed, he will likely be assigned to AHL Abbotsford.

News: Hagman sat out practice Wednesday with an undisclosed injury. His status is unknown for Thursday's game against the Thrashers, according to the Calgary Herald.

News: Hagman will watch Wednesday's game against the Canucks from the press box as a healthy scratch, the Calgary Herald reports.
Analysis: Hagman has struggled mightily over the last eight games. He has put up zero points over that time period even though the Flames had enjoyed a four-game winning streak over the holidays. According to the report, Hagman will watch Mikael Backlund take his place in the lineup Wednesday.
News: Hagman was excellent Thursday in a 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs, his former team. In addition to generating a power-play goal, he added two assists for his first three-point effort of the season.
Analysis: There are better fantasy options even on his own team (think Jarome Iginla, Alex Tanguay, Rene Bourque) but Hagman is quietly on pace for 20 goals and 23 assists, making him a decent low-end option in standard leagues if you need assistance at the winger spot.
News: Hagman closed out the scoring for the Flames on Monday, scoring his seventh goal of the season.
Analysis: The goal was on the power play, marking his third with the man advantage. He's not going to repeat his pace that he had with Toronto before last season's trade, but Hagman will end up doing better on a per game basis than he did after the trade to the Flames.
News: Hagman played string music by potting his sixth goal of the season in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Red Wings.

News: Hagman scored once and added an assist in Friday's 7-2 spanking of visiting Chicago.

News: Hagman did not skate Thursday morning and will be a game-time decision for Thursday's game against Colorado, the Flames' official site reports.
Analysis: The team called it a maintenance day, so there doesn't appear to be an injury to worry about here. However, his status as a game-time decision makes him a risky play in daily lineup leagues.

News: Flames RW Niklas Hagman scored in Tuesday's win over the Ducks, moving him to 40 points on the season. He now has three straight campaigns with 40 or more points.
Analysis: Hagman hasn't exactly set the world on fire since coming over from Toronto to begin February, but he is on track to easily beat his previous career high of 42 points set last season. Still, that kind of production makes him just a low-end starting Fantasy forward in leagues with 12 teams or more.
News: Flames RW Niklas Hagman scored and assisted in Tuesday's loss to the Senators. It was his first multi-point game since being traded from Toronto.
Analysis: Hagman is having a solid season so far, with 36 points, and could see his Fantasy value increase if he can jell nicely with his new teammates. He's only worth using in leagues with 14 teams or more for now, but 12-team owners might want to snap him up if they have the room.
News: All four players acquired by the Flames in Sunday's blockbuster trade with Toronto that sent defenseman Dion Phaneuf, forward Fredrik Sjostrom, and minor league defenseman Keith Aulie to the Maple Leafs were in Calgary's lineup on Monday against the Flyers. Matt Stajan moved onto the top line between Jarome Iginla and Dustin Boyd. Finnish left-winger Niklas Hagman joined countryman Olli Jokinen on a line with Jamie Lundmark. Jamal Mayers skated on the fourth line, and defenseman Ian White not only assumed Phaneuf's old jersey No. 3 but also paired with his former defense partner Robyn Regehr. Unfortunately, the Flames recorded 18 shots, their second-lowest total this season, and lost 3-0.
Analysis: One of the reasons for bringing in Hagman (20 goals, 13 assists) and Stajan (16 goals, 25 assists) was to rejuvenate the slumbering offense. But the Flames produced their fewest shots since a 3-0 loss at Detroit on Nov. 27. Calgary's first power-play unit also had a new look with Iginla up front with Stajan and Hagman. Believe it or not, but Hagman was the first player Calgary coveted when Toronto asked about Phaneuf. Hagman did lead Toronto with 20 goals, but we just don't consider him a premier goal scorer. We are not sure Hagman's Fantasy value will increase that much with Calgary.
News: The Toronto Maple Leafs shook up their struggling club, acquiring defenseman Dion Phaneuf from the Calgary Flames in a seven-player deal Sunday and swapping goalies with Anaheim to get Jean-Sebastien Giguere. Along with Phaneuf, Toronto received Keith Aulie and Fredrik Sjostrom from Calgary in exchange for Ian White, Matt Stajan, Niklas Hagman and Jamal Mayers. The Maple Leafs also traded goalie Vesa Toskala and Jason Blake to Anaheim for Giguere.
Analysis: Toronto just traded its leading scorer in Hagman, who had a team-high 20 goals. He did most of his damage early in the season with 13 goals in his first 24 games. We figured Hagman would slow down and he has. Hagman is a good scorer, but he is not a multi-point threat on a regular basis. The move to Calgary hurts him a bit since he will be joining a lot of quality wingers. Hagman remains a low-end Fantasy flier.
News: Maple Leafs RW Niklas Hagman scored twice during Tuesday's game against the Kings. He has four goals and two assists in his last five games.
Analysis: Hagman broke 20 goals on Tuesday for the third straight season. He needs just seven more points for a third straight 40-point campaign. Hagman has been a clutch scorer for Toronto and his name has come up in trade rumors. If he does get dealt to a more favorable situation, then Hagman's Fantasy appeal might increase, but we don't expect it to increase much. Hagman remains a low-end Fantasy flier.
News: Toronto winger Niklas Hagman recorded a goal and an assist on Tuesday in a loss to Atlanta. Hagman assisted on Alexei Ponikarovsky's second goal of the game in the 1st period and later scored the game's final goal in the 3rd. The goal scored was Hagman's 18th of the season.
Analysis: Hagman has scored a goal in back-to-back games now and has 30 points on the season after Tuesday's two-point effort. He's just four goals off his career high at this point. He should finish somewhere in the high 40s or low 50s, so continue to use him in just deeper leagues as a low-end starting Fantasy forward.
News: Maple Leafs RW Niklas Hagman ended an 11-game skid without a goal when he lit the lamp in Monday's win over the Predators.
Analysis: Despite his slump, Hagman is up to 17 goals this season, which is only five off his career high. He should finish somewhere in the high 40s or low 50s, so continue to use him in just deeper leagues as a low-end starting Fantasy forward.
News: Maple Leafs RW Niklas Hagman failed to record a point and finished at minus-2 on Friday against the Capitals. He took 10 shots, including seven in the first period. Hagman hasn't scored in 11 games, spanning 27 shots.
Analysis: Hagman went on a major scoring spree from late November through mid-December. But we warned Fantasy owners it probably wouldn't last and it hasn't. Hagman does have a few stretches per season when he is on a roll. He just can't sustain them for an entire year. Hagman has become a low-end Fantasy option again.
News: Maple Leafs RW Niklas Hagman scored a goal and finished at plus-1 during Saturday's game against the Capitals. Hagman tied the game at 3 as he beat Michal Neuvirth with a slap shot 16:39 into the second period. It was his 15th goal and ninth in 14 games.
Analysis: Hagman has seven points in seven December games and has been on a sick offensive tear since mid-November. Hagman has been a 20-goal scorer the last two seasons, but this run has been ridiculous. We are not sure it will last, but you might as well start Hagman while he is on a roll.
News: Maple Leafs RW Niklas Hagman scored his second goal in the last three games as Toronto edged the Capitals in a Saturday shootout.
Analysis: Hagman has 12 points on the season and remains just a low-end Fantasy flier in super-deep formats.
News: The Toronto Globe and Mail reports that Maple Leafs RW Niklas Hagman and C Matt Stajan were scratched by coach Ron Wilson for Tuesday's game against the Avs. Neither player is injured. “We have to shake things up,” Wilson said. "Although (Hagman and Stajan) have scored some goals, their overall play hasn’t been what we need it to be."
Analysis: The Leafs have just one point on the season and Wilson is clearly not going to wait for the playoffs to be out of reach before making a statement with some healthy scratches. Stajan has more value than Hagman in deeper leagues, but both are obviously not playing up to their potential right now. Hopefully this message gets through to them.
News: Maple Leafs RW Niklas Hagman scored a goal and finished at plus-1 during Saturday's game against the Penguins. Hagman looked to have given the Maple Leafs a spark 1:01 into the third period when he banged in a rebound past Marc-Andre Fleury, but it wasn't enough in a 5-2 loss.
Analysis: Hagman has two goals and one assist in four games. He has been one of Toronto's best offensive weapons to start the season. He has two straight 20-goal, 40-assist campaigns. Hagman seems to have hit his offensive ceiling, so consider him more of a low-end Fantasy forward.
News: Toronto RW Niklas Hagman scored a goal in his return to the Maple Leafs lineup on Saturday. He had missed 13 games after suffering a concussion
Analysis: Hagman's return does very little in the world of Fantasy hockey as he is merely a low-end player in the first place. He was thought to potentially be done for the season so his return is a bit unexpected.He is safe to use in the upcoming scoring period but is not a recommended option outside of the deepest of leagues.

Milan Jurcina's third-period goal stood up as the winner and the Washington Capitals beat the sluggish Maple Leafs 2-1 on Saturday. Toronto lost defenseman Luke Schenn and winger Niklas Hagman to injuries before the game was half over. The short bench was especially tough to manage since the team spent Friday traveling back from the West Coast and has had a heavy schedule of games. "Luke logs a lot of minutes and so does Haggy," coach Ron Wilson said. "We had to go to Plan B and C. ... You're a little tired and you want to play almost four lines and certainly six defensemen. We couldn't do that."
Analysis: The prognosis for Hagman, who took a knee in the head and was feeling groggy, is day to day. He made out much better than Schenn, who is out at least two weeks with a lower-body injury. Hagman has 19 points in his first season with the Maple Leafs and has made a smooth transition thus far from Dallas. Still, he remains a low-end Fantasy forward when healthy. Consider him an injury-risk start Week 10 (Dec. 8-14).
