News: The Lightning acquired Dan Sexton from the Ducks on Monday in exchange for Kyle Wilson.
Analysis:Dan Sexton has recorded 16 points in 27 games this season for AHL Norfolk, but has contributed 32 points in 88 career NHL games.
News:Dan Sexton signed a tryout contract with Norfolk of the AHL on Tuesday, the Orange County Register reports.
Analysis:Dan Sexton spent some time with the Ducks in 2010-11, but he was stuck in the AHL for the entire 2011-12 campaign. The 25-year-old could get another look from the Ducks once the lockout is over, but it's doubtful he'd land a large role on the team.
News:Dan Sexton was sent to Syracuse (AHL) on Monday, the Ducks' official Twitter feed reports.
Analysis: He'll likely be one of the first forwards recalled when injuries strike, but for now he'll have a larger role in the minors.
News: The Ducks have re-signed Sexton to a two-year deal, the Sports Network reports.
Analysis: Sexton avoids the arbitration process by signing this new contract. The 24-year-old had a brief stint with AHL Manitoba in 2009-10 and AHL Syracuse, the team's minor league affiliate, this past season. He's had 32 points (13 G, 19 A) in 88 games at the NHL level compared to 29 points (14 G, 15 A) in the minors. He's best viewed as organizational depth at this point in his career.

News: Sexton was assigned to AHL Syracuse on Wednesday, according to the Ducks' official website.

News: Sexton grabbed his first goal since being recalled, scoring in Thursday's loss to Toronto.
Analysis: This immensely talented winger has been up and down in terms of his production and time with the NHL. He still as more potential than production, but his name is highly worth remembering as he looks to cement a spot in Orange County.
News: Sexton, recently called back up, recorded an assist in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to visiting Nashville.
Analysis: Sexton is up only as long as Jason Blake (shoulder) is on the shelf and would be the likely candidate to yo-yo back to the AHL. If he can put together some solid games, like tonight's effort, Sexton could stick a little longer. However this plays out, he makes a poor fantasy options for all but the deepest of the leagues (and even then)...

News: Sexton was recalled from AHL Syracuse on Friday, according to Eric Stephens of the Orange County Register.
Analysis: Sexton has appeared in 13 games for the Ducks this season, logging one goal and two assists. Sexton has limited fantasy value in most formats.
News: Sexton has been reassigned to Syracuse of the AHL, the Ducks' official Twitter feed reports.

News: Sexton has been recalled by the Ducks, the team's official site reports.
Analysis: They just sent him down Monday, but clearly Sexton's availability as a fringe option at forward is important to the Ducks right now despite his lack of production.

News: Sexton has been recalled by Anaheim, reports the Ducks' official site.
Analysis: Sexton recorded five points (two goals) in four games since being assigned to Syracuse of the AHL, showing his worth after a quiet start to the 2010-11 season at the NHL level.
News: Sexton (nose) has been sent to the Ducks' AHL affiliate, the team's official site reports.
Analysis: He hasn't recorded a point through seven games with Anaheim this season, so sending him down should help ensure more minutes and an opportunity to regain his confidence following the early-season slump.
News: Sexton (nose) went through an entire practice Saturday, according to the Orange County Register.
Analysis: Sexton underwent surgery October 28 to repair the damage from the Ruslan Salei slap shot that went under his visor and shattered his nose. His return to the lineup is unknown as the coaching staff will evaluate whether or not he is up to speed. Before the injury, he did not record a point and was a minus-4 in seven games.
News: Sexton will undergo surgery on his broken nose Thursday, according to the Ducks' official Twitter page.
Analysis: Sexton is expected to miss about two weeks. Expect the Ducks to make a roster move soon to add another winger to the roster.
News: Sexton (nose) returned to Anaheim for a re-evaluation of his injury, according to the Orange County Register.
Analysis: After Sexton's broken nose is re-examined, a timeline on how long he'll be out of the lineup might be announced. In seven games for the Ducks, Sexton has been scoreless.
News: During the first period Saturday night, Sexton (nose) was hit with a shot taken by Ruslan Salei, according to the Orange County Register.
Analysis: The puck appeared to go up under Sexton's visor and hit him right below the nose and above his mouth. No timetable has been given for his return. He remains in Dallas but could fly back to Orange County on Monday for more tests. Sexton has yet to score a point in seven games.
News: Sexton (face) suffered an injury Saturday night after getting hit with a shot taken by Ruslan Salei, according to the Orange County Register.
Analysis: Sexton, who wears a visor, was hit in the nose and later examined at a local hospital. There are no details at this time with the severity of the injury or if Sexton will miss any time on the ice.
News: The Ducks have recalled D Brett Festerling, D Brendan Mikkelson, RW Dan Sexton and G Timo Pielmeier from the minors.
Analysis: Apart from Sexton, who is a decent prospect, the rest of these players are pretty much just organizational depth and are likely only up to increase the numbers at practice until the Olympics are over. Continue to ignore them in Fantasy play.
News: The Ducks have sent down RW Dan Sexton in order to make room for G Justin Pogge.
Analysis: Sexton is one of those good stories about a player that was overlooked as a junior skater, but he has worked his way from obscurity to a potential starring role in the NHL. Sexton is more of a long-term Fantasy keeper and low-end flier in seasonal formats for the time being.
News:The Sports Xchange reports Ducks RW Dan Sexton's scoring pace has slowed some since his first few NHL games but he had an assist against St. Louis on Saturday and has two goals and five assists in his last nine games.
Analysis: Sexton has been seeing some time on the second line in the absence of Teemu Selanne (jaw). Sexton is one of those good stories about a player that was overlooked as a junior skater, but he has worked his way from obscurity to a potential starring role in the NHL. Sexton is more of a long-term Fantasy keeper and low-end flier in seasonal formats.
News:The Sports Xchange reports Ducks RW Dan Sexton has slowed since his torrid start to his NHL career. An assist Sunday against Chicago was just the second point in the last six games for the rookie, who had four goals and three assists in his first six games.
Analysis: You kind had to figure that Sexton was going to hit a rookie wall. Even the best prospects don't experience non-stop success throughout their first NHL season. Once Sexton started to appear on scouting reports, teams paid more attention to how to minimize his impact. Sexton is an up-and-coming prospect and might stick with Anaheim, but he is a low-end Fantasy option until he gets back on track.
News: Ducks RW Dan Sexton tallied a pair of assists Thursday against the Stars. It was his first assists since tallying two on Dec. 16 against the Canucks. He does have two goals in his previous six games.
Analysis: Sexton has totaled six goals and five assists in his first 13 games since being called up from the minors. The undrafted free agent was only starting to make a name for himself last season in college at Bowling Green. He turned pro after the year and has been on a tear ever since. Sexton is doing enough to keep his roster spot with the Ducks, but we worry his production will slow down once teams figure out how to slow him down. He still remains more of a low-end Fantasy option.
News: Ducks RW Dan Sexton had a goal, assist and plus-2 rating during Friday's game against the Red Wings. Sexton's goal came with 55 seconds left in the second when his harmless looking shot from the right corner deflected in off Jimmy Howard's stick. Sexton has three goals in his last two games, his second and third in the NHL.
Analysis: Sexton, an undrafted free agent, was recalled from the minors after Teemu Selanne went down with a broken hand. The Bowling Green standout is in his first year of pro hockey. Between stints in the ECHL and AHL, Sexton had 14 goals and 29 points in 23 games. He seems just fine playing pro hockey. He took an Anaheim rookie record nine shots on Tuesday against the Stars as he scored twice. Sexton is a player popping up on Fantasy radars, but he is still a low-end flier until he shows long-term success.
