News:Darcy Hordichuk was a healthy scratch against Colorado on Tuesday, the Edmonton Journal reports.
Analysis: Philippe Cornet made his NHL debut after being recalled from Oklahoma City (AHL). Darcy Hordichuk could be on the move before the trade deadline as the rebuilding Oilers will likely try to give his minutes to younger players.

News:Darcy Hordichuk (knee) was activated from IR and played 5:33 with a minus-1 rating in Monday's loss to Dallas.

News:Darcy Hordichuk (knee) has resumed skating, Dan Tencer of CHED Edmonton reports.
Analysis:Darcy Hordichuk has not been cleared for contact, but the fact he is skating indicates he is making good progress in his recovery from a knee injury. Originally expected to miss around four weeks after suffering the injury in mid-October, Hordichuk could be back in action soon.
News:Darcy Hordichuk (knee) could be out for up to four weeks, according to the Edmonton Sun.
Analysis:Darcy Hordichuk injured the knee a mere five seconds into first shift of Saturday's game. Looks like he could be out anywhere between 10 days and four weeks. This is not the biggest of losses for your fantasy team, as players whose biggest asset is sitting in the sin bin should be easy to find.
News:Darcy Hordichuk was forced from Saturday's game after suffering a knee injury on his first shift. He did not return.
Analysis: He tried to lay a big hit but he got the worst of it. He's on fantasy teams because of his fists; go find another neanderthal to meet your needs.
News: Hordichuk signed a one-year, $825,000 deal with Edmonton on Friday, according to the Edmonton Journal.

News: Hordichuk (groin) won't play against Tampa Bay on Friday, South Florida Sun-Sentinel writer Harvey Fialkov reports.

Analysis: Hordhicuk rarely lights up the score sheet with points but he knows his way around the sin bin if your league rewards PIMs and you need a stop-gap at left wing.
News: Hordichuk scored his first goal in a Panthers uniform Saturday night against Carolina.
Analysis: Hordichuk, who has never been a big goal-scorer, found the back of the net midway through the second period to draw the Panthers within one.

News: Hordichuk will see ice time Saturday against the Islanders, Harvey Fialkov of the Sun-Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Hordichuk, who was a healthy scratch in Thursday's loss to Dallas, will step in for the injured Shawn Matthias. He'll skate on the fourth line with Steve Bernier and Steven Reinprecht.
News: Hordichuk was a healthy scratch for the Panthers in Thursday's loss to Dallas.
Analysis: He was a checking-line player in Vancouver for the last couple of seasons, but Hordichuk has only seen the ice in two of the Panthers' first five games this season. Even if he gets a chance to suit up on a nightly basis, his ice time will be very limited.
News: The Canucks traded Hordichuk to the Panthers in exchange for winger Andrew Peters, Jason Botchford of the Vancouver Province reports.
Analysis: Hordichuk's career with the Canucks came this past weekend when he was placed on waivers. He should be able to find a role as an enforcer on the Panthers.
News: Hordichuk cleared waivers Monday and is expected to report to Manitoba of the AHL, the Vancouver Province reports.
Analysis: Hordichuk will likely get a look later this season if the Canucks need an enforcer, but even then his lack of point production will limit his fantasy value to leagues that heavily reward trips to the sin bin.
News: The Canucks placed Hordichuk on waivers Saturday, TSN's Bob McKenzie reports.
Analysis: It looks like you'll have to search for your penalty minutes elsewhere this season.

Analysis: Hordichuk is up to 103 penalty minutes after Sunday's incident. It is the fifth time he has broken 100 penalty minutes. Hordichuk is starting to play a bit more after falling into coach Alain Vigneault's doghouse. Still, Hordichuk remains just a flier in leagues that reward heavily for PIM.
News:The Sports Xchange reports Canucks LW Darcy Hordichuk appears to have worked himself out of the coach's doghouse at least a little. Hordichuk, who played well during Rick Rypien's recent three-game absence only to be a healthy scratch when Rypien returned, was put back into the lineup in pace of Tanner Glass on Wednesday against the Blues. Glass had four early goals this season on the fourth line but hasn't scored in 27 games.
Analysis: Hordichuk is not in trouble because he has two points in 37 games. It's not his job to score. He has taken some ill-advised penalties, which has cost Vancouver at times. The Canucks continue to dress him when they need some added muscle. Hordichuk remains just a flier in leagues that reward heavily for PIM.
News: Vancouver's Darcy Hordichuck fought Minnesota's Derek Boogaard midway through the final period of Wednesday's game. Hordichuk also got a game misconduct and finished the game with 17 penalty minutes. He has no points in his last 18 games.

Analysis: Hordichuk is averaging less than six minutes of ice time a game this season, but has been playing more since the start of December.

News:The Sports Xchange reports Canucks LW Darcy Hordichuk is wearing a walking cast and limping heavily after suffering a hairline fracture in his foot blocking a shot Nov. 29 at Calgary, but that doesn't mean he can't get around once he gets that foot into a skate.

News: Canucks LW Darcy Hordichuk returned to the lineup Friday against the Wild after missing the previous two games with a broken foot. He had an assist and plus-1 rating in 8:35 of ice time and also totaled 12 penalty minutes. Hordichuk received a game misconduct for roughing in the third period.
Analysis: Most players are out several weeks with a broken/fractured foot, but Hordichuk showed he is a real tough guy. He is not much of an offensive contributor and is primarily on the ice to act as an enforcer. Hordichuk remains just a flier in leagues that reward heavily for PIM.

News:The Sports Xchange reports Canucks RW Darcy Hordichuk was back on the fourth line on Thursday in Detroit after the decision to replace the tough guy with soft but skilled RW Kyle Wellwood backfired in Monday's 5-1 loss in Washington. Hordichuk sparked a comeback in Calgary on Saturday with a spirited fight, and without him the Canucks were clearly lacking the physical presence that defined two wins over the Flames.
Analysis: Hordichuk doesn't have a point in three games this season, but already has seven penalty minutes. Hordichuk is not on the ice for his offensive presence. He is primarily an enforcer and doesn't offer much to Fantasy owners.

Hordichuk has 26 points and 747 penalty minutes in 302 career regular season NHL games with Nashville, Florida, Phoenix and Atlanta. Hordichuk is not on the ice for his offensive presence. He is primarily an enforcer and doesn't offer much to Fantasy owners.

If Carolina fails to sign him before the season, Nashville will send a fifth-round pick in the 2010 draft as compensation.
Analysis: Hordichuk had just one goal and two assists in 45 games in 2007-08 for Nashville. He dealt with some injury problems that limited his availability. Hordichuk is not on the ice for his offensive presence. He is primarily an enforcer and doesn't offer much to Fantasy owners.
News: Enforcer Darcy Hordichuk was back on the ice for the Predators on Thursday when he played just under six minutes and had an assist on the goal by Vernon Fidler. It was his first assist this season. He also had a fighting major penalty, which is not a surprise for him.
Analysis: Hordichuk's return should not have any Fantasy impact as he's nothing more than an offensively-challenged enforcer.
News: Predators C David Legwand and LW Darcy Hordichuk could be back Thursday against the Blue Jackets, according to the Tennessean. Both practiced Wednesday with the team.
Analysis: Legwand has been a steady points producer all season for the Preds, so consider him a No. 4 or No. 5 Fantasy forward for now. Hordichuk's return, meanwhile, should not have any Fantasy impact as he's nothing more than an offensively-challenged enforcer.
News: Predators LW Darcy Hordichuk (leg) did not come off injured reserve Tuesday and missed his sixth game in a row when Nashville visited Boston.
Analysis: Hordichuk has more punches landed than he does goals scored in his NHL career, but isn't even contributing with many penalty minutes this season. He's only on pace for 48, which would be his worst (or best, depending on how you look at it) since he spent 38 minutes in the box during his rookie year of 2000-01.

The goal was his first since Nov. 23, 2006 and is first in 15 career games against the Kings. Hordichuk, who has 13 goals in 278 NHL games, and scored only once in 53 games last season, was obviously relieved. "That's obviously not my job, but it's nice to contribute," he said. "In practice, I've been working on just trying to be in the right spot at the right time."
