Analysis:Curtis Glencross has an impressive 14 goals on the season and has always been a steady scorer, but this pace he is on in the shortened season would have him hitting close to 30 goals in a full season.

Analysis: The speedy winger has averaged 25 goals the last two seasons while taking relatively few shots. He's a solid player that is great to own when he's cresting, and he's been giving the enigmatic Flames a boost of late. Give him a boost in leagues that count shooting percentage.

News:Curtis Glencross (upper body) had a goal and an assist while finishing plus-3 in his return to the lineup Wednesday.
Analysis: After a two-game absence, Curtis Glencross had little difficulty contributing in the big win for Calgary on Wednesday night.

Analysis:Curtis Glencross' healing took quicker than expected, as he wasn't supposed to return until next week.

News:Curtis Glencross (knee) hopes to be back sometime next week, the Flames' Twitter page reports.

News:Curtis Glencross logged an assist and a power-play goal in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Wild. He had four shots on goal and was whistled for two penalty minutes.
Analysis: His 17 tallies this season pace all Flames skaters. While it's great to get that kind of contribution, we're skeptical that it will last, because his goals total is buoyed by an unreal shooting percentage (23.3%). He just isn't likely to keep that up over a six-month season.

News:Curtis Glencross (illness) will play in Thursday's game against the Avalanche, according to the Flames' official Twitter page.
Analysis:Curtis Glencross missed Tuesday's game with the illness, but he's good to go after practicing the last couple days. Expect him to be back on the Flames' top line Thursday night.
News:Curtis Glencross (flu) practiced Wednesday and should be in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Avalanche, the Calgary Herald reports.

Analysis: After a breakout 24-goal, 43-point season in 2010-11, Curtis Glencross is around the pace to equal those numbers again. Playing with Jarome Iginla could increase those numbers, so Glencross may be worth a play or two going forward, with seven goals and six assists in 21 games.

News:Curtis Glencross (lower body) did not play in Wednesday's win over the Avalanche, the Associated Press reports.

News:Curtis Glencross (general soreness) didn't practice with the team Tuesday TSN.ca reports.
Analysis: The injury was reported as "general soreness," so Curtis Glencross should be fine for Wednesday's game against Colorado despite missing practice. Still, we'll keep an eye out for confirmation of his availability following Wednesday's morning skate.
News:Curtis Glencross left Monday with "soreness," according to the Calgary Sun.
Analysis:Curtis Glencross should still be good to go for Tuesday's game with the Avalanche, as the injury is nothing too serious.

It may be best to give Glencross a couple games out of your fantasy lineup until he gets back healthy and producing.
News:Curtis Glencross scored his third goal in four games in Saturday's loss to Toronto.

Flames' Glencross Sorts Through Issues With Sutter
News:Curtis Glencross, who was in head coach Brent Sutter's doghouse at times in 2010-11, has put his issues with Sutter in the past, the Calgary Herald reports.
Analysis: Despite a career year in 2010-11 with 43 points in 79 games, Curtis Glencross was a healthy scratch multiple times and frequently sparred with Sutter.

News: Glencross has agreed to a $10.2-million, four-year contract with the Flames, the Globe and Mail reports.

News: Glencross scored Saturday night despite playing with a bad hand, the Calgary Herald reports.
Analysis: Glencross has until Wednesday for the hand to heal, with the Flames getting a rare late-season break between games.
News: Glencross had a goal and two assists in Friday's win over the Blue Jackets. The tally was his 21st of the year and came on the power play, while also proving to be the game-winner.
Analysis: The two helpers Friday notwithstanding, Glencross isn't going to get you a ton of assists, but he's been scoring so much that the points have been coming in bunches since the start of February. Even though Glencross was dry for the four games prior to Friday, he now has 17 points in the 16 games since February 1.
News: Glencross reached 20 goals on the season with a power-play marker in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Bruins.
Analysis: Glencross has an active eight-game points streak, which has included seven goals and five helpers since February 7. Perhaps his New Year's resolution was to be more active with the puck; greater than 63 percent of his points this season have been put up in 2011.
News: Glencross rippled the net for the fourth straight game as Calgary fell to Vancouver on Saturday night.
Analysis: If you haven't already done so, it's time to rethink your perception of his fantasy value. In the first 38 games of the season, he had just 12 points (.32 PPG). Since then, he has 15 points in 17 contests (.88 PPG). He's largely invisible on many fantasy radars, because forwards with just 27 points in mid-February are nowhere near the top of the scoring charts. As you evaluate your roster for the stretch drive of the season, you need to think of him as a forward who can score at roughly a 70-point pace.
News: Glencross sank another goal Monday in a 3-1 win over the Predators.
Analysis: Glencross is on pace for a career-high 20 goals this season, but he's lacking in the assist department, on track for just 11 helpers by season's end.
News: Glencross backhanded the puck past Roberto Luongo Saturday, helping the Flames down the Canucks by a score of 4-3 in a shootout win.

News: Glencross reportedly has been fined $2,500 for his involvement in a collision that sent Minnesota's Clayton Stoner crashing into the end boards Wednesday, according to the Calgary Herald.
Analysis: This is not the first time this season that the 200-pound winger has been the subject of a controversial call, but since Stoner was not injured as a result of the play, Glencross appears to have avoided a suspension by the league.
Glencross: Three Points In Flames Defeat Against Detroit
News: Glencross picked up two goals and an assist on Friday night in a 5-4 shootout loss to the Detroit Red Wings.
Analysis: Glencross looked like he could be developing into a decent secondary scoring option in fantasy leagues based on the past two seasons, but this year he's struggled. He's not consistent enough to validate regular starts in your lineup.
News: Glencross will draw into Monday's lineup against Minnesota, the Calgary Herald reports. He missed two games last week as a healthy scratch.
Analysis: "Healthy scratch" counts as one of the ugliest phrases in the lexicon of fantasy sports. Hopefully Glencross received the message that he needs to fine-tune his game.
Flames' Glencross Fired Up About Missing Toronto Game
News: Glencross, who missed Thursday's game against Toronto as a healthy scratch, was vocal in a report by the Calgary Herald about his frustrations after watching from the press box.
Analysis: "I just have to battle harder and compete harder," Glencross said, clearly seething. "Obviously, they feel I'm the least battler out there. I guess that's their opinion. I've just got to go out, work hard in practice and go from there." The Flames have a surplus of healthy forwards, which led to his recent visit to the pine, but Glencross is the type of player who will take out his frustrations via physical play on the ice the next chance he gets. That next opportunity could present itself as soon as Saturday night against the Wild.
News: Glencross is on pace for more than 100 penalty minutes this season. His current career high is 58 PIMs, set last year.

News: Glencross will be fined but not suspended for his charging of Vancouver's Keith Ballard on Wednesday, according to TSN's Bob McKenzie.
Analysis: He'll be in the lineup Friday at Minnesota, though we'll at least take the time to point out he only has 11 points in 24 games this season and is averaging a modest 1:03 on the power play.
News: Glencross was whistled for charging Vancouver's Keith Ballard during Wednesday's eventual 7-2 loss and could be suspended as a result, the Calgary Herald reports.
Analysis: As noted by the CH, this is not the only five-minute major penalty caused by Glencross this season, a factor that could affect the length of a potential suspension. Thanks to the big-time penalty, Glencross finished his last contest with 15 PIMs, giving him 40 PIMs through 24 games to date. Keep close tabs on Glencross to see if the league does in fact lay down the law as the result of his hit.
News: Glencross' short-handed goal in Friday's 3-2 shootout win over the Flyers was the team's 10,000th goal, according to the Calgary Herald.
Analysis: It was a nice day all around for Glencross and the Flames.

Glencross will look to build off that game on Friday, an early contest against Pittsburgh.
News: Glencross potted a short-handed goal in what ended up as a 3-2 shootout win over the Flyers on Friday.
Analysis: Glencross intercepted the puck, creating a breakaway for his seventh goal of the season. He usually finishes seasons off with roughly half the amount of points than games played, but as an added bonus, he's already tacked on 25 penalty minutes in 2010-11.

Analysis: Glencross played 17:23 in the contest. Feel free to throw him in there if you need him.
News: Glencross (lower body) will return to the ice Tuesday night, the Calgary Herald reports.

News: Glencross (lower body injury) wore a yellow no-contact jersey in Monday's practice, the Calgary Herald reports.
Analysis: Flames coach Brent Sutter said that a decision whether to re-insert Glencross back into the lineup Tuesday won't come until just before the game.

Analysis: As usual with the Flames, no timetable was given for his return. At the moment he looks questionable at best for Tuesday's game against the Avalanche.
News: Glencross sat out Friday's loss to the Wild with a minor injury, the Calgary Herald reports.
Analysis: True to Flames form, coach Brent Sutter was purposefully vague about Glencross' injury. "He's got a little boo-boo," Sutter said. "He'll be all right, he'll be fine. He's just a little sore so we'll make that roster change."
News: Glencross twice hit the post with shots in Sunday's win over the Sharks but was held off the score sheet, the Calgary Herald reports.
Analysis: Glencross has had a quiet start on the Flames' third line, with a goal and two assists through eight games so far. The team is getting decent production from their top two lines, but needs to get more from Glencross and company on the other two lines.
News: Glencross scored a shorthanded goal in the Flames' win over the Kings on Sunday night, the Calgary Herald reports.
Analysis: Glencross had played a solid game even before the goal, with a number of shots on goal. He ended up with five shots and a plus-2 for the night.

News:The Sports Xchange reports Flames LW Curtis Glencross, who was injured Wednesday at Colordao after a knee-on-knee hit with Avalanche forward Matt Hendricks, is out indefinitely. He has missed the last two games, including Sunday against the Wild.
Analysis: Glencross, who had equalled a career-high with 15 goals and was part of what was becoming a very effective fourth line, is on crutches. His return date isn't known. He does have one goal and three assists in his last seven games, but Glencross pretty much does all his damage at even strength. He is a good two-way player, but is a low-end Fantasy flier when healthy.
News: Flames LW Curtis Glencross did not suit up for Friday's game against the Sharks due to a knee injury.
Analysis: Glencross has been productive lately, recording assists in three of his last four games. However, he has low-end Fantasy value, other than as a flier in leagues that reward heavily for short-handed stats and plus-minus.
News:Curtis Glencross recorded his first NHL hat trick to lead the Calgary Flames to a 4-1 win over the Carolina Hurricanes on Wednesday. Glencross opened the scoring as he drove hard toward the net in pursuit of a rebound when the puck deflected off his body and into the Carolina net behind Cam Ward at 2:54 of the first. Glencross then took a cross-ice pass from Jay Bouwmeester and blasted a slap shot to the short side past Ward to make it 3-1. Glencross finished the scoring with an empty-net goal at 18:58 of the third. Calgary coach Brent Sutter stressed that the 27-year-old forward has to keep it up for the remainder of the season. "We expect Curtis to play a certain way every night," Sutter said. "We need him to dig in every game for us. We know he can skate, but he's got to be involved in the game. When he's involved in the game, he thinks the game the right way and he's very responsibly defensively."
Analysis: Glencross had no goals in his previous seven games and just three scores since Jan. 1, so it's not like he has been an explosive scorer. In fact, he scored all three goals at even strength on Wednesday and did it all off a checking line. Glencross has been a good fit for Calgary since last season, but he is still one of those players far more important to his real team than Fantasy owners. Don't get caught up in his hat trick.
News: Flames LW Curtis Glencross scored twice in Saturday's win over the Maple Leafs.
Analysis: Glencross has three goals in his last two games after not having a single goal in his previous 10 contests. Glencross remains a low-end Fantasy option who is at best a flier in leagues that reward heavily for short-handed stats and plus/minus.
News: Flames LW Curtis Glencross scored a goal, tallied two assists and finished at plus-1 during Monday's game against the Predators. Glencross scored a short-handed goal with about four minutes left, finding the open net after the Predators pulled Pekka Rinne. He has two goals and four assists in his last six games.
Analysis: Glencross is up to plus-11 on the season. All five of his goals have come either at even strength or short-handed. Glencross is proving his worth to Calgary, but his Fantasy appeal isn't great since his scoring is erratic. Glencross has low-end Fantasy appeal. He is also a flier in leagues that reward heavily for short-handed stats and plus-minus.
News: Flames LW Curtis Glencross had a goal during Monday's game against the Ducks. Glencross opened the scoring late in the first period when he blew past Anaheim defenseman Nick Boynton at the blue line and broke in alone on Jean-Sebastien Giguere, roofing his fifth goal of the season. He has three points (two assists) in his last four games.
Analysis: Glencross was a hot commodity earlier this season after he scored in three straight games and was playing on Calgary's top line. But as we expected, he couldn't maintain the offensive pace since he is not a regular on the power play. Glencross has low-end Fantasy appeal.
News: Calgary LW Curtis Glencross came off suspension to play in the Tuesday night game against Colorado. Glencross is a top-line forward for the Flames and rejoined Jarome Iginla and Olli Jokinen on the No. 1 unit for Calgary on Tuesday after serving a three-game suspension for a blindside hit that left Rangers' Chris Drury with a concussion.
Analysis: Glencross is a low-end Fantasy option for the moment. He had been bumped off the top line for a bit but was back at that spot on Tuesday. If he can find a resurgence, he might be worth snatching up off waivers. For now, though, take a wait-and-see approach.
News: The NHL suspended Flames forward Curtis Glencross for three games on Monday for delivering a high hit to an unsuspecting Chris Drury on Saturday. Glencross hit Drury 48 seconds into the game. Drury was helped off the ice and did not return to the game. New York coach John Tortorella said Drury suffered a concussion. No penalty was called on the play.
Analysis: Glencross will miss games at Montreal (Nov. 10), Buffalo (Nov. 13) and Toronto (Nov. 14). He will be eligible to return Nov. 17 against Colorado. This just adds further insult in Glencross' recent demise as he was recently bumped off the top scoring line. He is a low-end Fantasy option when active. Keep him reserved for Week 6 (Nov. 9-15).
News:The Sports Xchange reports Flames LW Curtis Glencross is sure enjoying life on a line with Jarome Iginla. He has scored goals in three straight games after lighting the lamp Tuesday against Columbus. It's the second time in his career he has had a three-game goal-scoring streak.
Analysis: Glencross was moved to the top line after David Moss went down with an undisclosed injury. The move is definitely paying off as Moss has four points and a plus-6 rating in his last four games. Glencross is getting a lot of scoring chances by camping out in front of the net. He is doing well to start the season, but we have seen this before. Until Glencross can consistently get it done, he still has low-end Fantasy appeal.
News: Flames LW Curtis Glencross scored his team's only goal during Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Blue Jackets. Glencross gave Calgary a 1-0 lead 16:19 into the game with his second goal of the season. Several players overskated the puck at the top of the left circle before Rene Bourque spun and whipped a wrist shot that Glencross redirected past Steven Mason.
Analysis: Glencross had a career year in 2008-09, his first with the Flames. Calgary is expecting Glencross to help pick up some of the scoring slack in the absence of Mike Cammalleri, who signed with Montreal after scoring 39 goals last season. Glencross is not as gifted a skater but can be considered a low-end Fantasy forward.
News: Flames LW Curtis Glencross scored a goal, tallied an assist and finished at plus-2 during Monday's game against the Red Wings. Glencross' one-timer at 5:31 of the third put Calgary ahead 4-1 and it proved to be the game winner in a 5-3 victory. Glencross has three goals and four assists in his last seven games.
Analysis: Glencross has a career-high three game winners in 2008-09. He also has a career-high 27 assists and 40 points in his first season with the Flames. Glencross has had a few solid stretches this season, but has also gone cold for periods. Consider him a low-end Fantasy forward.

Analysis: Glencross has been fairly productive since mid-February with three goals and eight assists in his last 14 games. He has had a few stretches like this, but then has also gone cold for lengthy periods. Glencross is not an elite scorer and has low-end Fantasy appeal.
News: Flames LW Curtis Glencross tallied two assists and finished at plus-1 during Thursday's 5-1 win against the Flyers. He has no goals and five assists in his last six games.
Analysis: Glencross has had some good moments in 2008-09 on his way to a career-high 23 assists and 33 points. He has endured a solid first season with Calgary and has even been a top-six forward on many nights. Still, Glencross is not an elite scorer and has low-end Fantasy appeal.
News: Flames LW Curtis Glencross scored a goal and finished at plus-1 during Wednesday's game against the Ducks. Calgary's Rene Bourque fed the puck toward the slot while getting checked hard against the boards, and Glencross snapped the puck over Jean-Sebastien Giguere's glove at 14:17 of the second period for his ninth goal and a 2-1 lead. It was Glencross' first goal since Jan. 8.
Analysis: Glencross was red hot in November with four goals and eight assists in 14 games. He then started to have injury problems and his slump began. Glencross is back to being his normal unreliable self, so continue to view him as a very low-end Fantasy flier.
News: Flames LW Curtis Glencross scored for the third time in his last four games as Calgary defeated the Islanders on Thursday night. He now has eight goals on the season.
Analysis: Glencross has been playing well lately, but he only plays 13:24 a game and never features on the power play. Ignore him in all but the deepest of leagues unless he somehow keeps this pace up.

Analysis: Finally, the Flames have given us a timetable for Glencross' return. Glencross has been an ample scorer for the Flames this season, but still is a low-end Fantasy forward when healthy.

Analysis: The Flames continue to list Glencross as day-to-day with no timetable in mind for his return. Glencross has been an ample scorer for the Flames this season, but still is a low-end Fantasy forward when healthy.

Analysis: Glencross had two assists in the game against Florida in which he was injured. He has five goals and 14 assists on the season, but is not a consistent performer. He is a low-end option that should be benched until he is once again healthy.
News: Flames LW Curtis Glencross had a pair of assists in Friday's game against the Panthers. It was the second time in five games that he managed a pair of assists.
Analysis: The problem is that Glencross has not done much else lately. He has just the four points in six December games after enjoying a solid run in November with 12 points. He can be useful in spurts when he is going well, but now is not one of those times. Reserve him until he can pick it up again.
News: Flames LW Curtis Glencross tallied a pair of assists and finished at minus-1 in 11:49 of ice time Friday against the Blues. He also spent two minutes in the penalty box. Glencross has three goals and six assists in his last six games.
Analysis: Glencross has been one of the Flames' top point producers since November with 14 points in his last 16 games. Whatever has gotten into Glencross seems to be working, but with such little success prior in the NHL, it's hard to project if he can sustain at this pace. Consider Glencross a low-end Fantasy forward.
News: Flames LW Curtis Glencross' four-game point streak came to an end Tuesday in a loss to the Stars.
Analysis: Glencross has 10 points in his last nine games after a slow start to the season and is a hot pickup right now in deeper leagues. Still, you need to remember he's a third-line forward and isn't likely to keep up this pace for an extended period of time.
News: Flames LW Curtis Glencross scored in a third straight game Thursday as Calgary edged the Canucks 4-3.
Analysis: Glencross got off to a slow start this season with only two goals and three assists in his first 16 games, but he's been on fire lately with nine points in his last seven games. He is starting to make some noise in deeper leagues, but remains a third-line forward, so don't expect this kind of production to continue for too long.
News: Calgary LW Curtis Glencross had a nice game in a win over the Kings on Tuesday night. Glencross picked up two assists and a goal in the game. He assisted Rene Bourque's goal in the 1st period and then scored one himself in the 2nd. It was his fourth of the season. He later added another assist on Bourque's second goal of the game in the 3rd period in the 6-2 win.
Analysis: Glencross now has 13 points on the season for the Flames and five in his last two games alone. Glencross, 25, split last season between Columbus and Edmonton, scoring 15 goals and adding 10 assists in 62 games. He signed a three-year contract. With numbers like that, he should be ignored in everything but the deepest of Fantasy formats for the time being. But if he keeps improving, that could change.

Analysis: Glencross has only played 54 NHL games this season after being called up from the AHL. At 25, he still has some time to improve, but he shouldn't be drafted in any formats heading into the 2008-09 season or used on any playoff rosters this season.
News:The Sports Xchange reports Edmonton's fourth line of Kyle Brodziak, Curtis Glencross and Zack Stortini has been at its best over the past two weeks. They've combined for 13 points in the last six games. "We're starting to develop some chemistry with each other," Brodziak said. "We know going into every game what we want to accomplish -- that's keeping it simple but making sure we're physical and trying to create energy. Because of that, we're creating chances."
Analysis: Glencross scored Sunday against the Avalanche and now has scored in two straight games. He joined the Oilers in early February via a trade from Columbus. He has the two goals and three assists in seven games with Edmonton. He is doing much better with Edmonton, but being a fourth-line player, Glencross still has limited Fantasy value.

He did not record a point in 6:51 of ice time against Calgary, but spent five minutes in the penalty box for fighting with Cory Sarich in the third period.
Analysis: The 25-year-old Glencross joined the Blue Jackets last season after a trade with the Anaheim Ducks. He had seven goals and six assists in 45 games with Columbus. He will likely play on the lower lines for Edmonton and has little to no Fantasy value at this time.

Analysis: Glencross has two assists in his last five games and six on the season to go with six goals. He also has a plus-4 rating. The former Duck is seeing the first extensive action of his pro career, but is still just a low-end Fantasy reserve when healthy. Leave him alone for now.

News:Fredrik Modin (back spasms) has been practicing recently, but he's still not ready to return. Rookie LW Curtis Glencross is on the Blue Jackets' No. 2 line in Modin's place, next to Sergei Fedorov.
Analysis: With five goals, Glencross is tied for third on Columbus. He has four points (2 G, 2 A) in his past four games and he is a player to watch in keeper leagues. Modin's return will bump Glencross back. Fedorov has two points (both assists) in his past six games. His production has dropped in each of the last three seasons and Fedorov is nothing more than a low-end Fantasy flier at this time.
News: Columbus forward Curtis Glencross had eight memorable seconds. The Blue Jackets rookie hopped over the boards and headed straight to the Calgary net where he scored his second goal of the night at 2:03 of overtime, giving Columbus a 4-3 victory over the Flames. Kris Russell's dump-in was tracked down in the Calgary corner by Kris Beech, who backhanded the puck into the slot. Glencross, evading the back-check of Daymond Langkow, scored his fifth of the season past Miikka Kiprusoff. "An awesome feeling, it's unbelievable," Glencross said. "One of the first shifts I've ever played 4-on-4 overtime for us. I just came straight off the bench, went straight down the middle, and there was no one around me."
Analysis: Columbus coach Ken Hitchcock likes what he has in Glencross, who turns 25 at the end of December. "He's a really skilled guy. He's got great speed, and he's tough as nails," Hitchcock said. The Blue Jackets made it 2-0 with 40 seconds left in the first period period as Glencross got a shot on goal that Kiprusoff partially stopped, but the puck trickled over his shoulder. Glencross tucked the loose puck into the gaping net. He now has three goals in his last six games and seven on the season. Glencross is averaging about 12 minutes per game, but if he keeps developing his offensive game, he will certainly earn more PT. Right now, he is merely a low-end Fantasy option.
News:Curtis Glencross redirected Rostislav Klesla's shot past Florida's Tomas Vokoun for a power-play tally to make it 1-0 for Columbus at 3:13 of the opening period Wednesday.
Analysis: The rookie has three goals in six games, so consider picking him up in larger leagues for now.

Analysis: Glencross sees infrequent ice time and should be avoided in all but the deepest of Fantasy leagues at this point.
News: The Columbus Blue Jackets recalled G Ty Conklin and LW Curtis Glencross from Syracuse of the AHL on Thursday.
Analysis: Glencross is far more valuable to his real team than to Fantasy owners at this time.
News: The Columbus Blue Jackets traded right wing Joe Motzko and center Mark Hartigan to the Anaheim Ducks on Friday, picking up center Zenon Konopka and left wing Curtis Glencross. The deal also includes draft picks, Columbus giving up a conditional seventh-round pick in either 2007 or 2008 and the Ducks throwing in a fourth-round selection in this year's draft.

News: Curtis Glencross scored a goal and had a plus-1 rating with two shots on goal in Saturday's game against the Avalanche in his NHL debut.

Analysis: None of the players the Ducks sent down are worthy of any Fantasy consideration.
